Can just the smell of pcp affect you?

Yes, the smell of PCP (phencyclidine) can potentially affect individuals, especially if they are exposed to high concentrations in a confined space. While PCP is primarily known for its psychoactive effects when ingested or inhaled, the odor itself may cause discomfort or irritation. Additionally, some individuals may experience psychological effects or anxiety due to the association of the smell with drug use. However, significant effects from merely smelling PCP are less common compared to direct exposure.
