Street Names For PCP | Common Slang For PCP

Phencyclidine, commonly known as PCP, is an illegal drug that causes severe dissociative effects, meaning it can make users feel disconnected from their body and surroundings. Originally developed as an anesthetic in the 1950s, PCP was quickly banned for human use due to its dangerous and unpredictable effects on the brain. The drug can drastically alter perception, cause hallucinations, and lead to violent or erratic behavior.

Since PCP is completely illegal, it’s only available through street dealers who use various code names to avoid detection by law enforcement. The drug typically appears as white, yellow, or tan powder, tablets, capsules, or clear liquid, and can be injected, snorted, swallowed, or smoked with other substances like marijuana or mint leaves.

Popular Street Names For PCP

Drug dealers and users often create slang terms to hide what they’re really talking about, making it harder for parents, teachers, and law enforcement to recognize dangerous drug activity. These street names change over time and can vary by location. PCP can be referred to by a number of street names, also known as slang terms or code words.

Common street names for PCP include:

• angel dust
• rocket fuel
• killer weed
• wolf
• worm
• sherms
• hog
• bella donna
• love boat
• magic dust
• peace pill
• ozone
• super grass

Being familiar with these street names is important for recognizing potential PCP use or sales, especially since many of these terms sound harmless or even positive. If someone is using these terms, particularly in combination with talk about buying, selling, or using substances, it could be a sign that PCP is involved.

Street Names For PCP With Other Drugs

When combined or mixed with other drugs, PCP may be referred to by different street drug names.

Street names for PCP mixed with other drugs:

• black acid (with LSD)
• zoom (with marijuana)
• domex (with MDMA)
• space (with cocaine)
• whack (with cocaine)
• alien sex fiend (with heroin)
• wet (with marijuana)

These combination street names are concerning because they indicate polydrug use, which increases the risk of overdose, unpredictable reactions, and dangerous behavior. Many people who use these combinations may not even realize they’re taking PCP, especially when it’s mixed with marijuana and sold as “wet” or “zoom.” If you hear any of these terms being used, it’s a strong indicator that someone is involved with dangerous drug combinations that require immediate professional help.
