A single dose of PCP will cost around $5-$15, making it one of the more affordable illicit street drugs.
However, it is known to be psychologically addictive and those who use it will build up a tolerance fast. As more is required to get the same effects, the costs will add up quickly.
PCP comes in many forms, with each having its own associated prices. It’s also known by various street names and slang.
Although it is most often found in liquid and powder forms, you can also find it in a crystal, tablet, or capsule form. It is not uncommon to find both MDMA and marijuana laced with PCP.
