9 Houstonians indicted after record seizure of 54 gallons of PCP

9 Houstonians indicted after record PCP seizure

The largest seizure of the narcotic PCP in the history of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration resulted in the arrest of nine Houston residents Wednesday for allegedly conspiring to distribute enough of the powerful psychedelic to get at least 28 million people high, according to expert estimates.

Agents seized a whopping 57 gallons of the drug, according to a statement from the U.S. Department of Justice.

PCP, or Phencyclidine, is known on the streets as angel dust, super grass, killer weed and rocket fuel.

The seizure of so much PCP could signal the emergence of a huge new market for the drug, which was popular in some areas in the 1970s but keeps a far lower profile than cocaine, marijuana or other illegal substances, authorities said.

"That represents a lot of money and a lot of users," said Stan Furce, director of Houston's High Intensity Drug Traffic Area, a coalition of federal and local law-enforcement agencies that stretches to the coastal counties.

"They almost don't feel any pain," Furce said of PCP users. "They become super agitated, rebellious and super strong. I would not want to go one-on-one against a PCP user ... wild-eyed, scary-looking dudes."
Operation Scratch Off

PCP can be taken in pill or powder form, or a cigarette can be dipped in the clear liquid and then smoked. It takes minutes to touch off unpredictable episodes lasting hours.

Wendell Campbell, spokesman for the DEA's Houston Division, said 1 gallon of PCP is conservatively enough to produce well over 500,000 dosage units.

It costs about $2,000 a gallon to make, and sells for about $22,000 a gallon, said Campbell, discussing the nationwide market.

As for the Houston bust, the nine defendants were accused under a sealed indictment in November, but charges weren't made public until Wednesday, when they were arrested.

Seven were arrested here and are expected to be brought before a federal magistrate today. Two others were arrested out of state, one in Mississippi and the other in Louisiana.

Those charged Wednesday with conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute PCP include: Andre Smith, 52; Samuel Joseph Jackson, 35; Tyrone Dewayne Roberson, 38; Michael Ardion, 50; Archie Deneshe Harris, 34; Cameo Deshawn McAfee, 24; Joseph Lamar Broussard, 37; Karola Johnson Gant, 43; and Chatela Jackson, 32.

They face a minimum of 10 years in prison to as much as life.

The arrests are the result of an 18-month investigation dubbed Operation Scratch Off, according to the DOJ statement.

The 57 gallons were seized during the investigation, but authorities won't say specifically where or how they found the PCP.

Although the DOJ statement announced the indictment was "unsealed," documents were not available to the public at the federal courthouse as of late Wednesday and further details were not available.

Two other people pleaded guilty earlier in the investigation, according to prosecutors, but they were not named Wednesday.
Several agencies involved

Tom Hinojosa, acting chief if the DEA's Houston Division, said in a prepared statement that the investigation to capture the PCP and its alleged distributors is the result of a collaborative effort by several area agencies.

"The success of the investigation leading to today's arrests is a result of the close and sustained cooperation between DEA and our law-enforcement partners to target and remove drug-trafficking organizations operating in and around the Houston metro area."

On an informational Web site, the Brazoria County Sheriff's Office notes PCP can produce violent and bizarre behavior, and that violent acts committed while taking the drug cause more deaths than the drug's direct effect on the body.

It was originally developed in the 1950s as an anesthetic for humans, but because of its side effects was later restricted to use as a veterinary tranquilizer.

Ever had the urge to try ketamine?  Then why not PCP?  PCP works just like ketamine, except it also causes a large dopamine release.  So it could easily be more euphoric than ketamine.  The only issue with the dopamine, is that it allows you to walk around, where ketamine would have you k-holed.  Imagine having an ambulatory body while in a k-hole.

But if you stick to low doses, PCP is amazing.  Personally, I've only had half a hit off a PCP cigarette.  I was still completely in control, but feeling AMAZING.  That's my only experience though.

Dude K is amazing.. You said it makes fall on the ground tho.. I must admit that some k makes you almost fall asleep. But there are certain types of ketamine that actually make you wide awake when you sniff them. It all depends on the K. I done my fair share of K but I am not sure I would try PCP because it is much stronger than K. I have heard stories of people running down the street butt naked and stuff lol..

PCP would be (like most drugs) safer regulated. If you look into it, it is actually bad production methods that cause more of a risk for those "episodes" where people go violent. I cannot remember the step, or whatever, but in the black market where profit>purity, you get those issues.

No, I've never really had the urge to try ketamine either. I accidentally tried some though that was cut 50/50 with coke (dealer was bared out and gave my old roommate his personal stash). Dissociatives aren't really my thing.

"54 gallons of scherm on the wall, 54 gallons of Schermmmm...."

^ as to the aboves..

A) Yes ketamine is incredible.

B) Yes it is a disassociative as K is but the similarities end there.  Utterly different experience, which as above stated involves one running about in a hyper-excited disassociative state.  I for one would not trust myself to be able to safely interact with the real world considering some of the things/places/beings/states of being/wtf I have experienced in the K-hole...  Low-dose P might be gnarly as hell though, if it didn't put be in any kind of negative headspace...

C) PCP is highly, highly neurotoxic.  K is at the current moment questionably so but at a much much lower level, ***if not neuroPROTECTIVE/reparative***

D)  The above differences in types of PCP (barring just shysty cutting...) are almost certainly PCP analogues as a result of underground synth, i.e. 3-meo-PCP. 4-meo-PCP, etc. which are actually quite different drugs.  The latter is a slightly less potent by mg, but much more sedating and K-like version of phencyclidine.  Who knew :P

Good info. I've only tried K but it was in combination with mescaline, shrooms and molly all in respectable doses of course, bad fish concert. The K completely over powered everything when I did it. I'd say for about 20 mins I walked around blacked out. And I was tripping from a couple grams of mush already. When I dosed the K I also did the molly and a couple more grams of mush and not to long before consumed the mesc. When I came out of that k hole I was tripping balls. So many visuals.

Pcp sounds crazy, I don't know if I'd trust myself but I'd try a small dose.

Yeah, on large doses it is completely different.  The difference is caused by an enormous dopamine release that allows for one to move, even when severely dissociated.  But small doses are very very similar to small doses of K + a stimulant.

Right, the neurotoxicity is definitely a negative.  But MDMA has been shown to be quite powerfully neurotoxic in primates.  Have an objection to MDMA?

The only reason MDMA doesn't have confirmed neurotoxity in humans is because ethics only allow for tests on people who have dosed themselves illegally.  This leaves a lot of room for error, as the pills could contain almost anything.

This, I don't trust Tyrone making my dust in his kitchen.  Shitty dust is too common, this has a good amount of information about how PCC is often found in PCP samples

http://www.erowid.org/archive/rhodium/chemistry/pcp/cn_synth.html#scheme1
Quote:

It should be born in mind that the PCC intermediate is toxic. It is also somewhat difficult to separate from the final product if the reaction is not carried out to completion. Thus, in one study up to 20% of street samples of PCP contained measurable amounts of PCC. Ingestion of PCC in small amounts can cause toxic symptoms, such as headache and hangover. Larger amounts cause more severe symptoms. Handling of the material may also cause dizziness, faintness, and vomiting. Additionally, repeated exposure to PCC may cause an aggravated psychosis and result in sensitization, in which an individual may experience contact dermatitis from trace amounts of the substance.




I actually do like PCP, but I've known enough dust heads to not want to get into using it consistently.  My memory is already shitty after years of alprazolam use.  I'd smoke a dippy if I was in the right head space, but I'd prefer to do some ketamine.

I dispute that statement. The research that indicated that MDMA was neurotoxic was flawed and was retracted by it's author, Dr. Ricaurte of Johns Hopkins. It turns out he overdosed monkeys with methamphetamine and not MDMA. He claims the vials were labeled incorrectly. Although his debunked studies are still cited as proof of MDMA toxicity.

Newer studies with monkeys with actual MDMA appear to show it is far less toxic than previously thought.
See: New findings suggest that when use patterns are more similar to humans, brain toxicity no longer detectable

Prohibition ensures that relatively benign pure MDMA is replaced with toxic drugs of unknown content and quantity.

I won't comment on PCP, as I am not very familiar with it and have no desire to use it.

what's your basis for this claim?

you probably didn't know that PCP also has the potential to be neuroprotective at directed dosages, as it blocks the excitotoxicity from Glu-1 transmission following stroke, via NMDA-antagonism downstream

I get a kick out of people who don't know a damn thing about phencyclidine, but develop preconceived notions

Newer studies with monkeys with actual MDMA appear to show it is far less toxic than previously thought.
See: New findings suggest that when use patterns are more similar to humans, brain toxicity no longer detectable






the neurotoxicity to fine-axons in the raphe nuclei has been established the former part of this decade, and is cited
in texts such as the Biochemical basis of Neuropharmacology. however, with infrequent dosing, elasticity negates any significant
physiological changes in the RN region

There are more people imprisoned for the commission of drug offenses in the United States - close to 500,000 - than are incarcerated in England, France, Germany, and Japan for all crimes combined.  Examined in another way, the United States has 100,000 more people incarcerated for nonviolent drug offenses than all the countries of the European Union combined, despite the fact that the European Union has 100 million more citizens. :crankey:

But MDMA has been shown to be quite powerfully neurotoxic in primates.

:thumbup:

The point I was trying to make was that even though MDMA has some neurotoxicity, it's negligable in resonsible dosing (2-3 times a year).  So even if PCP has some neurotoxic effects, if used responsibly, fear of brain damage could possibly be dismissed.  I should probably have been clearer though. :tongue2:

Why does every thread with the word "neurotoxicity" in it descend into a bunch of posts by rollers trying to convince others (and, in the process, themselves) that it isn't neurotoxic?

Not a single poster has claimed that is isn't neurotoxic.  The debate seems to be on the degree of neurotoxicity.
