Is Ketamine just another name for Angel Dust (PCP)?
Ketamine is very similar in its chemical make-up to PCP (Phencyclidine) but is shorter acting and less toxic. Both drugs were patented by the same pharmaceutical giant, Parke-Davis, for use as general anesthetics. PCP stopped being used on people because of unpredictable side-effects, including psychotic behavior. Legal production of PCP has since been discontinued. Ketamine has no history of producing such psychotic side effects.
