PSP is a dissociative drug that causes major hallucinations.

it often causes severe and violent reactions that can cause

major harm to a person. It is similar to LSD, but is

considered more dangerous for its unpredictable and often

violent nature.

It can be taken orally in a pill, its natural powder state

in a liquid, or smoked with other things like tobacco

marijuana and even things like mint and parsley

because of the tendency for people to mix it with other things

and its many names, it is hard to tell exactly what kind of drug

people are taking, making it even more dangerous. It is often used by high school and college students.

According to teenhelp.com, 6.2% of high school teens used hallucinogenic drugs in the past year.
