This podcast episode explores the history, uses, and effects of PCP, a drug that has both therapeutic potential and serious risks. PCP was originally developed as an anesthetic but quickly gained popularity as a recreational drug due to its psychoactive effects. While PCP use has declined over the years, it remains popular in certain communities and has been linked to a number of severe health problems including psychosis, seizures, and even death. However, PCP also shows promise as a treatment for depression and other mental health conditions, and research is ongoing.
