About PCP Crimes in Atlanta

Phencyclidine, a shortened version of the chemical name phenylcyclohexylpiperidine and commonly known as PCP or angel dust, is a drug that used to be used for its anesthetic properties but is now illegal in the United States. PCP is classified as a Schedule II substance, the second-most serious classification for a controlled substance.

Because PCP is a Schedule II drug, the penalties that may be imposed upon a conviction in Atlanta are typically severe. A first time PCP possession offense will be charged as a felony and may result in 2 to 15 years in state prison if the defendant is convicted. The penalties are increased for offenses related to PCP trafficking, distribution, sale, manufacturing or possession with intent to distribute. In these cases, the defendant may face up to 30 years in prison for a first offense and up to 40 years or even life in prison for a second or subsequent offense.
