==Chemistry==

PCP, or ~~Phencyclidine~~, is a synthetic dissociative of the arylcyclohexylamine class. PCP contains cyclohexane, a six member saturated ring, bonded to two additional rings at R<sub>1</sub>. One of these rings is a piperidine ring, a nitrogenous six member ring, bonded at ~~it's~~ nitrogen group. The other ring is an aromatic phenyl ring. PCP is an initialism, named from the first letters of the three constituent rings '''p'''iperdine, '''c'''yclohexane and '''p'''henyl.
