Phencyclidine, commonly known as PCP, was originally developed in the 1950s as an anesthetic for humans. Its use was later discontinued due to severe side effects, including hallucinations and agitation. PCP was subsequently repurposed for veterinary use before becoming associated with recreational drug abuse in the 1970s and 1980s. Its unpredictable effects and potential for harm led to its classification as a Schedule II controlled substance in the United States.
