embalming fluid (formaldahyde) same as PCP?

Me and my friend have a disagreement. He says that a couple years ago, the big thing was to smoke embalming fluid (formaldahyde), and it was in the news , and people were stealing it from the morgue... etc etc. I disagree, Embalming fluid is just a slang term for pcp, which isnt actually anything to do with smoking fermaldahyde. Any comments on this?

Formaldehyde isn't PCP.
But embalming fluid is slang for PCP.
If people were smoking formaldehyde they'd probably have severe problems by now.

people actually do smoke embalming fluid tho, how do i know?? becasue back in the day i did it, you dip a ciggarete or a joint into it and smoke it....some people call it "wet". because you have to smoke it while its wet.

He could be right though, people that didn't know any better may have broke into funeral homes for formeldahyde, not knowing that it isn't PCP. So you both are right, but PCP isn't formeldahyde, embalming fluid is just a poison.

They put PCP in formaldehyde? I don't think so.
That just wouldn't happen, there wouldn't be any point at all in doing that.

formaldehyde is what they use to preserve dead tissue... it's carcinogenic and very poisonous, not to mention extreamly flamable.

I'm pretty sure all the idiots saying that they smoke formaldahyde are actually buying PCP, that is why it gets them "fucked up" and doesn't just light the cigarette on fire or kill them

okay here it is:
formaldahyde is what is used in embalming now and no if you smoke it changes are you will die
Phencyclidine was an anesthetic for humans used in the 60's before they realized people were hallucinating from the use
there tada they are not the same thing and yeah i have smoked wet before and i seem to rememer allowing the ciggarette to dry first since lighting a wet cig would be a bitch

Formaldehyde is normally present at low levels, usually less than 0.06 ppm (parts per million), in both outdoor and indoor air. When present in the air at levels at or above 0.1 ppm, acute health effects can occur including watery eyes; burning sensations in the eyes, nose and throat; nausea; coughing; chest tightness; wheezing; skin rashes; and other irritating effects. Formaldehyde affects people in various ways. Some people are very sensitive to formaldehyde while others may have no noticeable reaction at the same level of exposure. Sensitive people can experience symptoms at levels below 0.1 ppm. The World Health Organization recommends that exposure should not exceed 0.05 ppm. Colds, flu, and allergies can cause symptoms similar to some of those produced by exposure to formaldehyde. Formaldehyde has caused cancer in laboratory animals and may cause cancer in humans; there is no known threshold level below which there is no threat of cancer. The risk depends upon amount and duration of exposure.
yeah no offense but that wasn't real embalming fluid buddy cause that would be way way more than .1 ppm and yeah would surely cause the ciggarette to burn very quickly and probably kill you on the spot

Indeed, I think it must be the most widely wrongly-interrupted slang for drugs, by the number of posts on the Shroomery about it
Though even more annoying is the incessant number of people around where I live who argue with me that LSD and acid are different drugs

Hehe, makes you wonder where they get this information. Acid is the main drug everybody makes up "facts" for around here, they either say LSD and acid are different, LSD is a pill while acid is blotter, LSD is more potent than acid, and it goes on and on. The lies they say about it are even worse, though not uncommon; it melts your brain, it makes you sick for days afterwards until you almost die, it stays in your spine and makes you trip when you crack your back, and so on into an endless spiral of rumors

Actually, embalming fluid (formaldahyde) is different than PCP. While the slang name is the same, I used to work with a fuckup who did every drug he could. He said his mom worked at a morgue so he could get it easily. He said it's called 'getting stuck' because once you dip your cig in it and smoke it, your depth perception gets SO fucked up you can't move for hours. He said out of lsd, shrooms, meth, crack, coke, heroin etc etc etc it was the most fucked up thing he's ever done. he said he was sitting on a roof of a 1story house and he thought he was miles off the ground, and when he stood up he felt like a skyscraper and fell down again.

Smoking formaldahyde will not get you high...your friend is full of shit (no offense). The active ingredient in wet or whatever you call plant material soaked in "embalming fluid" is PCP.....and the liquid that people dip cigs in is also liquid PCP, the same shit that people soak mint leaves or other plant material to make wet.

^^ I dunno, to tell you the truth, i wouldnt put it past people to actually go out and try it. Even erowid admits that its possible people have gone and laced shit because they heard it gets you high. How many times have you heard people say they smoked bannana peels because it trips you out?
Always keep in mind that the general american populous when it comes to drugs are complete morons. Type into google "smoking formaldehyde to get high" and see what pops up.

They may try it, but it won't work......I know people who have and they say it didn't do shit. Not only does it not have any effects, but it can be extremely hazardous to your health; I recall that formaldehyde breaks down into methanol (in your body I think, but I may be wrong.....it's been a while since I've looked into this) which is extremely poisonous, so....experiment at your own risk. I highly recommend that no one even considers attempting to smoke formaldehyde.

They were talking about this on the news recently. They said there had been cases of minors dying due to poisoning by smoking soaked joints. The autopsies supposedly revealed higher amounts of formaldahyde in their bodies. Now...i'm not saying i believe this...because some of the stuff they say is scare tactics and bullshit. But they did about a 3 or 4 minute report on this. And it seems viable. Kids are pretty stupid, so are some money-grubbing dealers. If I can find an article i'll post it.

The reason for all the confusion is that when embalming fluid first came on the the scene, people were selling it as liquid pcp. It doesn't really make any sense, but essentially, shit would really fuck people up and and they wouldn't really be able to think straight at all, same as when you smoke dusted weed. Eventually all the terms used for each drug became the same. Like smoking the sherm, or smoking wet, or embalming fluid could mean either. But no, embalming fluid is in no way the same thing as angel dust but if you are looking for a cheap, strong and terrible high, both will deliver the goods.

^^ i seriously doubt that formaldehyde holds ANY psychotropic effects.
Dark Star- I understand, im not saying it works, im just pointing out its been tried and is listed as a drug on a lot of propagandaish type sites.
