PCP: The Most Dangerous Drug

Paper Summary:

This paper argues that, solely based on its chemical effects and the potential for violence and crime which it can hold, PCP is the most dangerous drug available on the market for addicts and recreational users, alike. The effects of PCP are discussed, as are a couple of recent criminal cases that have been tied to the use (or misuse) of this illegal and unpredictable substance.

From the Paper:

"Some might say that the most dangerous drug is crack cocaine. This could be argued as fact because of the awful effects it has had on America's inner cities and ghettos, how it has created addicts in nearly every metropolitan area and created thriving crime-related business for gangs and organized crime. Some might say that alcohol is the most dangerous drug, albeit a legal substance, as it probably leads to more deaths, from disease or accidents than any illegal drug. The same can be said for the legal drug nicotine, whose negative health effects are now widely known and warned against by medical authorities. Yet, this paper will argue that, solely based on its chemical effects and the potential for violence and crime which it can hold, PCP is the most dangerous drug available on the market for addicts and recreational users, alike."
