What are "Sherms" in relation to PCP?

  1. Cigarettes laced with nicotine

  2. Sherman cigarettes dipped in embalming fluid and dusted with PCP

  3. Cigars rolled with PCP

  4. Herbal blends infused with PCP

The correct answer is: Sherman cigarettes dipped in embalming fluid and dusted with PCP

"Sherms" refer specifically to cigarettes, often called Sherman cigarettes, that have been dipped in embalming fluid and then coated with PCP (phencyclidine). The use of embalming fluid as a base enhances the effects of PCP, and the combination creates a potent psychoactive substance when smoked. This method of consumption can lead to intense hallucinations and other severe cognitive and physical effects associated with the use of PCP. The other choices do not accurately describe Sherms. While some may involve substances that alter mental state, they do not correlate with the specific practice of dipping cigarettes in embalming fluid as a method to create Sherms. Understanding this context helps clarify why option B is the only viable and correct definition of Sherms in relation to PCP.
