Watching and Learning

I watched CSI today and the investigation was very interesting. They found a cheerleader dead on the football field at night. She suffered injuries to her stomach, which looks as though she was mulled by a wild animal. Her mid area was pretty much out in the open. Naturally, they did an autopsy on her and found bite marks around her wound. Roughly it would look to have been by an animal, a wild cat maybe. But the teeth mark on her body suggested that the biting came from a human. A HUMAN! Of course they did all kinds of investigations and discovered the story. A different cheerleader and a football player was fooling around on the field, getting high and having a great time. Cheerleader #1 caught them two getting intimate. She then yelled and screamed about how that football player was hers. Then, cheerleader #2 got all fired up and started acting without knowledge. She attacks cheerleader #1 with some sort of heavy object. Cheerleader #1 passes out. Then out of nowhere, cheerleader #2 started to feast on cheerleader #1's body. Grabbing and eating her body. Almost like she wanted a part of her inside. After seeing what had happened, the football player joins in; taking bites then throwing up. When being questioned about what happened that night, neither remembered anything. Why? They were both getting high on marijuana with PCP.

I know its only a television show and a story line. But I'm sure somewhere, someone out there is doing the same stupid thing. Think people...!!!

PCP (phencyclidine) is classified as a hallucinogen and has many of the same effects as LSD, but can be much more dangerous. In the 1950's, PCP was investigated as an anesthetic, but due to its severe side effects, its development for human use was discontinued. PCP is known for inducing violent behavior and for inducing negative physical reactions such as seizures, coma, death. There is no way to predict who will have a bad reaction to the drug. Maybe this is because PCP has so many faces--it acts as a hallucinogen, stimulant, depressant, and anesthetic---all at the same time.In its original state, PCP is a white crystalline powder. PCP is available in tablet, liquid, and powder forms and is either ingested orally or smoked by applying the liquid form to tobacco or marijuana cigarettes or by lacing these and other cigarettes, sometimes containing herbs such as mint or parsley, with PCP powder.

STREET TERMS: include Wet, Illy, Angel Dust, Supergrass, Killer Weed, Embalming Fluid, Rocket Fuel, Hog, Wack, Squeeze, Water, Dust, Oxone, Zoot, Peace Pill, and Elephant tranquilizer. Killer Joints, and Crystal Supergrass are names for the combination of marijuana laced with PCP. "Smoking wet" and "wetting it up" are two terms for smoking cigarettes or joints dipped in PCP. PCP is known as Space Base when mixed with Crack.

EFFECTS OF USE: A moderate amount of PCP often causes the user to feel detached, distant and estranged from his surroundings. Numbness, slurred speech and loss of coordination may be accompanied by a sense of strength and invulnerability. A blank stare, rapid and involuntary eye movements, and an exaggerated gait are among the more observable effects. Auditory hallucinations, image distortion, severe mood disorders, and amnesia may also occur. In some users, PCP may cause acute anxiety and a feeling of impending doom, in others paranoia and violent hostility, and in some it may produce a psychoses indistinguishable from schizophrenia. PCP use is associated with a number of risks and many believe it to be one of the most dangerous drugs of abuse.
