The agent responsible for the condition of the boy is Phencyclidine (PCP).

Phencyclidine is also commonly referred to as angel dust. The drug causes mind-altering effects. Some of the effects of the drug include distorted sound perception, hallucinations, hyperactivity, violent behavior etc.

It is a recreational drug and can be taken through the mouth, smoked, or injected into the body system. .

Since the boy appears euphoric, emotionally labile, disoriented and has hypersalivation, then this is the effect of taking Phencyclidine.
