HOW PURE ARE HALLUCINOGENS?
These drugs come from illegal sources. The potency of illicit drugs varies from time to time or batch to batch. Street samples typically include other drugs or adulterants. Some of these additives are themselves dangerous. Other drugs are often sold as hallucinogens. For instance, the very risky drug Phencyclidine [PCP] is often sold as “THC”, the hallucinogenic chemical in marijuana. In fact, THC in tablet or liquid form is not available at all on the street. Users of street drugs most often cannot know what they are getting, or the quality or potency of the drug.
