PCP is more addictive than LSD because it works on Dopamine Receptors in the reward pathway. Normally, inhibitory neurotransmitters are active in the synapse. These neurotransmitters inhibit dopamine from being released. When endorphins activate the dopamine receptors, the release of inhibitory neurotransmitters is shut down. Without inhibition, dopamine can be released. PCP mimics endorphins and binds to opiate receptors, turning off dopamine inhibition. Dopamine is allowed to flood the synapse, producing immediate feelings of sedation and well-being. 10 bucks says your in Med Chem with Mr. Choi.

Is LSD better than pcp?

LSD is better than PCP, I feel. With PCP you can actually feel the effects. For example when you are on a LSD "trip" you see things such as bees and other things, like worms. When you are on PCP you can actually feel these things, for example you can feel the bees stinging you or the worms crawling on you. Sometimes these feelings come back even when you aren't on the drug PCP. You can randomly get the sensation of bees stinging you or something else when you are on PCP. That can happen with LSD also, when you relapse, but you don't feel it and see it, you just see it. There are also other reasons. Both drugs are very similar though.
