Shitty Ask Lemmy

It smells like AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

It smells like a sweet sharpie. It really depends on what it’s mixed with, but it’ll have a resemblance to sharpie

Without actually smelling it, you can look up what solvents are used in its manufacturing. In the case of PCP, it's organic solvents like ether, benzene or alcohol. Bulk, non-lab grade solvents may contain bitterants that never get completely washed out of the final product.

The bitterants and any residual solvents should give it a weird alcohol-like smell. I suspect that PCP is also soluble in gasoline as well so it may have a note or two of that smell, depending on the availability of proper solvents. (As an example, diesel fuel is used quite often in cocaine manufacturing and as a result, it'll have gasoline notes,so the same concept applies. So yeah. If your blow always smells like gas, that is one reason why. On the bright side, it's probably a bit more pure but no guarantees on that.)
