new drug trend in known as "pink cocaine" or "tusi," is making waves in the illicit drug scene, with being one of the most famous people to be seen using the drug. New drug fads are not uncommon, especially as more and more people gain access to the internet and can discover just how to make altered versions of well-known street drugs. However, law enforcement sources and experts told the New York Post exactly what the issue with 'Pink Cocaine' is.
How did it emerge in the streets of New York? Tusi, which emerged in Latin America within the last decade, is named as a phonetic play on "2C," Despite its name, tusi isn't primarily 2C or even cocaine. Instead, it's such as MDMA, methamphetamine, opioids, and occasionally small amounts of cocaine, says , an associate professor of population health at NYU Langone who recently published a study on the pink powder. "It's cheaper than coke," explains , former chief of operations for the US Drug Enforcement Administration, in an interview with the New York Post.
"It is a cheap club drug." The only non-psychoactive ingredient in tusi is food coloring, which gives the drug its distinctive pink hue. "It's the new mystery powder to hit nightclubs," notes.
The concoction can vary significantly depending on who is making it. Synthetic drug concerns designed to mimic existing drugs like cannabis and cocaine but are chemically different and may not show up on current drug tests. This can lead to a false sense of security among users, even thou.
