What is wet in street slang?

In street slang, "wet" specifically refers to a marijuana joint that has been dipped in PCP.

Understanding "Wet" in Drug Terminology

The term "wet" is a street slang descriptor for a particular type of drug combination, indicating a marijuana cigarette (joint) that has been immersed or laced with PCP (Phencyclidine). PCP is a powerful dissociative anesthetic that can produce hallucinogenic, euphoric, and sedative effects, often leading to unpredictable and dangerous behaviors.

When marijuana is combined with PCP in this manner, it intensifies the drug experience significantly, altering perception, mood, and cognitive functions far beyond what marijuana alone would produce.

The Potency and Risks of "Wet"

Consuming "wet" is highly dangerous due to the potent and unpredictable nature of PCP. The effects can vary widely depending on the dose and the individual, often leading to severe psychological and physiological reactions.

Potential risks and effects include:

• Intense Hallucinations: Distorted perceptions of reality, sounds, and visuals.
• Paranoia and Delusions: Irrational fears, suspiciousness, and false beliefs.
• Aggressive and Violent Behavior: Users may become agitated, unpredictable, and prone to violence due to impaired judgment and distorted reality.
• Loss of Coordination: Leading to accidents and injuries.
• Numbness and Detachment: A feeling of being disconnected from one's body or environment.
• High Risk of Overdose: Which can result in seizures, coma, and even death.
• Long-Term Psychological Issues: Including persistent psychosis, anxiety, and depression.

The combination of marijuana and PCP can make it difficult for users to assess their environment or the risks they are taking, leading to hazardous situations for themselves and others.
