Peace pills

PCP in liquid form is sprayed on marijuana, parsley, oregano, or other plant leaves, and sold as angel dust. In powder form it is sold under the deceptive name of peace pills. ... 

Speaking of Peace and Love, one day a young man came in, quite disorganized but verbally profuse. He said he had taken a drug called the Peace Pill. None of us knew what it was, but the effects were obviously not caused by just a few tabs of LSD. We persuaded him to lie down in a quiet area and eventually he regained his sanity. 

Later we learned that peace pill was a clever play on PCP. Someone had introduced it at a nearby rock concert. Several serious injuries resulted from its disorienting, and at the same time energizing, effects. I believe 1 was the first doctor at the clinic to deal with a PCP bummer. We had no true antidote, and to my knowledge, no one has yet developed one that reverses all the undesirable actions of PCP in the central nervous system. PCP receptors have since been identified in the brain, but many other neurochemical systems are also directly or indirectly involved. 

News accounts depict illicit use of PCP, then sometimes known as the Peace Pill, in the Haight-Ashbury district of San Francisco during the Summer of Love. PCP reemerges in the early 1970s as a liquid, crystalline powder, and tablet.

Phencyclidine is an anesthetic, analgesic, hallucinogenic drug which was widely abused in the 1970 s. As a street drug it was known as "peace pill", "crystal", "hog" and most commonly "PCP" or "angel dust" [161]. It is often used in combination with other illicit drugs and may be smoked, inhaled, snorted, or taken by injection. The abuse of phencyclidine has been associated with respiratory depression, convulsions, hyperpyrexia, hypertensive crisis and schizoid psychoses. 

Angel s mist, peace pills, goon, hog, T and many other street names. See phencyclidine. 

The unsatisfactory nature of tranquillizer as a descriptive term is underlined by the large number of synonyms that have been coined. These include, among others, ataractic, antiphobic, pacific calmative and peace pill. None seems to have much to recommend it and, so far as it is necessary to refer to these drugs as a group, the term tranqmllizer is at least hallowed by use.
