    I’ve unknowingly ingested PCP. It is not fun in the slightest.

      Even knowingly ingesting hallucinogens can be not fun.

      I unknowingly smoked some opium laced pot with some strangers at a party once. They were already pretty wasted so it did not occur to them to warn me until after I was already smoking. It mostly led to a rather dreamlike night of revelry so no complaints about that one.

      I shared a blunt with a stranger and pretty sure it had PCP in it. I was stuck in a chair for at least an hour.

        That just sounds like what a good blunt would normally do.

        I was stocking vending machines that night a few blocks away. They briefly passed by me and it looked a lot like cars.

    Initially fearing food poisoning, all had in fact unknowingly eaten lobster chowder spiked with the drug phencyclidine, which is also known as PCP and angel dust.

    I never knew PCP was a hallucinogen. I thought it was a stimulant.
