1. Kid wondering in the street at 2am, high BP, dilated pupils, combative and paranoid, what drug did he abuse? 2. Girl is found unconscious, high BP, dilated pupils, what drug did she abuse? These 2 qs came from someone's (drjiggyz) real test. I pretty sure there are more descriptions in the question stem, can we figure out what drugs did they abuse?

My ans are: 1. Amphetamines. since cocaine only last 1 hour and without paranoid. 2. May be LSD and PCP(?): both can cause coma with high dose. LSD can cause dilated pupils, high BP. I am not sure if PCP can cause dilated pupils. In addition, abuse PCP has hyperthermia, nystagmus. Please input your answers, thx.
