While under the effects of PCP, the user may suffer serious injury or death.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Sometimes
• D. Never

Answer: (A)

PCP disrupts perception, judgment, and movement. While under its influence, a person may feel detached from reality, have distorted senses, and act in ways they wouldn’t when sober. This can lead to dangerous or self-harming actions, accidents, or fights because danger may not be perceived correctly and pain may be blunted. In addition, PCP can cause serious physiological effects like rapid heart rate, high blood pressure, hyperthermia, muscle rigidity, seizures, or coma. The combination of impaired decision-making and potential for severe bodily effects makes serious injury or death a real and possible outcome, especially since dose and individual response vary. So, the statement is true.
