Which drug was associated with PCP sensational stories in the 1990s?

• A. Marijuana
• B. Crack cocaine
• C. PCP
• D. Methamphetamine

Answer: (C)

The main idea here is understanding PCP’s place in media narratives. Phencyclidine, known as PCP or angel dust, is a dissociative drug that can produce detachment from reality, distorted perception, and, in some cases, unpredictable or violent behavior. In the 1990s, sensational media stories often linked dramatic, out-of-control incidents to PCP use, giving the drug a notoriety for shocking headlines. That association is why this option is the best choice.

Marijuana, crack cocaine, and methamphetamine each have strong public images, but the phrase “PCP sensational stories” specifically points to PCP and the era’s notable coverage of its bizarre or dangerous effects, not the distinctive narratives tied to those other substances.
