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.

What's the description for protein​
Sav [38]
Protein is something that produces muscle mass, it is composed of amino acids which are compounds of carbon,hydrogen, oxygen and etc. Protein is mostly in animals products (meat,dairy, eggs and more) is can also be in nuts such as almonds and peanuts. A lot of people put something called “whey powder” into drinks to get protein easier (but in my opinion it makes drink grainy).
Your welcome in advance!
