How many people die from PCP each year?

Answer 1

About 100 deaths each year in the 80's US so it would be about 150 deaths now due to an increase in population and drug use(blame the war on drugs).

"Doses of PCP exceeding 200 mg have resulted in death. The 2002 Mortality Data report published by DAWN listed Washington, DC, Philadelphia, and Baltimore among those US cities with highest PCP-related mortality rates (27 PCP related deaths were reported in Washington, DC, in 2002).[7] A survey from 1981-1986 in metropolitan Saint Louis, Missouri, reported that 81 homicides, 13 suicides, 6 unintentional deaths, and 4 deaths of unknown causes were related to PCP intoxication.[8]"

I know a few people that binge high doses of PCP and have been for years. The main danger with PCP is when you give it to someone that can't handle it, someone who mistakes the dissociation as being reality.

Answer 2

There is no specific data on the number of people who die from PCP (phencyclidine) each year. PCP-related deaths are relatively rare but can occur due to overdose or other complications. It is important to seek medical help if someone is believed to have ingested PCP.
