			* PCP hydrochloride can be insufflated (snorted), depending upon the purity. This is most often referred to as "angel dust".<ref name="Bertron_2018" />
			* An oral pill can also be compressed from the co-compounded powder form of the drug. This is usually referred to as "peace pill".<ref name="Bertron_2018" />

			===Pharmacokinetics===

			PCP is both water and lipid-soluble and is therefore distributed throughout the body quickly.<ref name="Kohrs_1998" /> PCP is metabolized into ], ] and ]. The drug is metabolized 90% by ] ] in the ] during the ]. ]s are ] and ] in the ]. Nine percent of ingested PCP is excreted in its unchanged form.<ref name=beyT />
			When smoked, some of the compound is broken down by heat into ] (PC) and ].
			The time taken before the effects of PCP manifest is dependent on the route of administration. The onset of action for inhalation occurs in 2–5 minutes, whereas the effects may take 15 to 60 minutes when ingested orally.<ref name=beyT />
			==Chemistry==
			PCP is an ].
			===Analogues===
			]
			Fewer than 30 different ] of PCP were reported as being used as a ] during the 1970s and 1980s, mainly in the United States.<ref name="Morris2014" /> Only of a few of these compounds were widely used including ] (PCPy), ] (PCE), and ] (TCP).<ref name="Morris2014" /> Less common analogs include ], ], and ].
			The generalized structural motif required for PCP-like activity is derived from structure-activity relationship studies of PCP derivatives. All of these derivatives are likely to share some of their psychoactive effects with PCP itself, although a range of potencies and varying mixtures of anesthetic, dissociative, and stimulant effects are known, depending on the particular drug and its substituents. In the United States, all of these compounds would be considered controlled substance analogs of PCP under the ] and are hence illegal drugs if sold for human consumption.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Itzhak Y, Kalir A, Weissman BA, Cohen S | title = New analgesic drugs derived from phencyclidine | journal = Journal of Medicinal Chemistry | volume = 24 | issue = 5 | pages = 496–9 | date = May 1981 | pmid = 7241506 | doi = 10.1021/jm00137a004 }}</ref><ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Chaudieu I, Vignon J, Chicheportiche M, Kamenka JM, Trouiller G, Chicheportiche R | title = Role of the aromatic group in the inhibition of phencyclidine binding and dopamine uptake by PCP analogs | journal = Pharmacology Biochemistry and Behavior | volume = 32 | issue = 3 | pages = 699–705 | date = Mar 1989 | pmid = 2544905 | doi = 10.1016/0091-3057(89)90020-8 | s2cid = 7672918 }}</ref>
