PCP is a highly addictive narcotic that often is manufactured in clandestine drug laboratories. PCP induces severe psychological effects at high doses, including hallucinations, delusions and paranoia. PCP users often smoke marijuana or tobacco leaves that have been soaked in liquid PCP.
This case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation with the assistance of the Hartford Police Department, the New Haven Police Department, the Connecticut State Police and Connecticut Department of Public Safety Toxicology/Controlled Substances Laboratory. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Geoffrey M. Stone.
