After a bit more research on the internets, I have come to the conclusion that "boat" is new slang for PCP.  I had no idea people were still doing PCP.  PCP, or "angel dust" as my grade school's visiting D.A.R.E. rep Officer Sokolik called it, seemed outdated even in the late 80s when my class received our drug education.  In fact, when Rodney King was beaten for supposedly being on PCP, I was dubious even at age 13 that PCP was anything besides something for grown-ups to tell drug horror stories about.  I've heard that being on PCP gave people super strength, made them impervious to pain, and made them insane, but I figured that as far as mind-altering psychosis-inducing drugs go, crack and (in my neck of the woods) crystal meth were realistically more popular with the hardcore drug set.

Certainly I've never seen anyone using PCP.  Every once in awhile in college I'd hear an isolated report of someone freaking out after smoking pot and then attributing said freak-out to the weed being laced with PCP, but I'm pretty sure this was just a guess in most cases.  I've managed to find a weed connection everywhere I've ever lived, but if I were inclined to do PCP, I would have absolutely no idea where to even get it.  Certainly none of the dealers I've ever met trade in PCP.  I guess now I know that in the extremely unlikely event that I decide to try PCP, I should ask around to see if anyone has a "boat" hookup.  Given that most of my friends have real jobs and lives and that sort of thing, the most any of them ever do is smoke some weed from time to time and MAYBE indulge in some coke or some mushrooms every once in awhile.  I don't expect that many (or ANY) of them would be able to score some angel dust.  The only strategy I can think of that might work is to go exchange an egg at a random convenience store, find my way to an underground club, and look for the guy with the boat on his shirt.  Okay, maybe that was an episode of "Beverly Hills, 90210," and maybe apart from Emily Valentine slipping it into an oblivious Brandon Walsh's Sprite, I've never heard of the drug U4EA much less it being sold by guys with large 4's on their shirts, but that goes to show you how in touch I am with any drug scene beyond the liberal arts college graduate pot scene.

I was always under the impression that as far as drugs go, PCP can make you especially psychotic and dissociative, and I'm annoyed that this is now making a comeback.  If there's anything more aggravating than a bunch of fucked-up club kids, it's a bunch of them on some kind of hallucinogenic drug.  I remember one time in college I went to this "rave" (as much as a party in the basement of a house at Smith College can be considered a "rave") and there were all these ugly girls wearing glo-sticks and baggy pants and dancing retardedly because they were all on ecstasy.  The last thing I want to see when I go to a bar is a bunch of idiots having psychotic breaks because they overdid it in the "boat" department.  I can just hope that PCP really does have the horrific consequences that Officer Sokolik warned us about back in 1988, and that these dumbasses start jumping out of windows believing they can fly and breaking into tiger enclosures at the zoo and other lethally stupid acts.  The resurgence of PCP is the lamest thing I've ever heard of.

PCP is a tranquilizer that they give animals like horses and elephants and the like when they have surgery, so many of the stories that Pig told you were not true. It is a downer, not a hallucinogen, so the bigest danger is that you'll stop breathing and shit like that, not that you'll become Superman or any of that shit, but those scare stories sound good, so the Pigs use them on kids.
I agree that PCP is bad shit, I have never done it ever and have seen what it does to people, they used to have it here in my area, sprayed on mint leaves and you smoked it. But doing something that is made to tranquilize a horse never seemed cool to me, so I stuck with real hallucinogens like LSD and psilocybin.
If you want to read the most fucked up PCP story ever, look up the saga of Charles Innes, the politician's son that was smoking PCP back in the day and wandering around naked quoting Chairman Mao and when the Pigs came. swallowed the entire statsh that he had so he would not get busted. That fucker ended up pulling both of his eyes out while in the lockup and did not remember why he did it, nor did he even say "ouch" while he did that. He then became a fervent anti-drug advocate and still is to this day.
