The substance in question is a street name for cigarettes or joints dipped in a solution containing phencyclidine (PCP). This method of ingestion allows for the rapid absorption of the drug, leading to immediate and intense psychoactive effects. Examples of slang terms used for this practice beyond the initial keyword include “wet,” “fry,” and “embalming fluid.”
The practice carries significant risks due to the unpredictable nature of PCP’s effects. The drug can induce hallucinations, delusions, paranoia, and violent behavior. Historically, its use has been associated with emergency room visits and encounters with law enforcement. Furthermore, the dipping process often utilizes unregulated and potentially harmful chemicals, adding another layer of danger.
