    PCP, or phencyclidine, also known as Angel Dust, is a mind-altering hallucinogenic drug that was originally developed in 1950s as an anesthetic but was later discontinued due to serious adverse effects. It can cause hallucinations, distorted perceptions of sounds, and violent behavior. PCP can be ingested orally, by inhalation, or injection. It is considered a Schedule II substance under the Controlled Substances Act in the United States due to its high potential for abuse and physical and psychological dependency. In a different context, PCP can also stand for Pneumocystis Pneumonia, a type of fungal infection in the lungs. This is most common in individuals with weakened immune systems, such as those with HIV/AIDS. Moreover, PCP is also an abbreviation used for Primary Care Physician. This is a healthcare professional who serves as the first point of contact for patients, providing preventative care, treating a wide variety of ailments, and referring patients to specialists as needed. So, the meaning of PCP widely depends upon the context it is being used.
