"The drug is growing in popularity, sold online in custom baggies and is referenced regularly on social media by enthusiasts and musicians. Catch up quick: Authorities from Los Angeles to Miami in recent months have reported busts or issued strong warnings involving pink cocaine, also known as tuci or tusi. In 2025, New York investigators seized pink cocaine along with dozens of guns in a Tren de Aragua-linked trafficking case."
"What's inside: Tuci has no standard formula but is a volatile mix of stimulants, depressants, and opioids that can be mixed locally from other drugs and dyes. Lab tests most often find ketamine and ecstasy (MDMA), but samples have also contained methamphetamine, cocaine, opioids and fentanyl, with added pink dye. Users' experiences can range from euphoria, increased energy and sociability to sensory enhancement and emotional openness. They also report altered perception, hallucinations or dissociative effects, while other mixes give users anxiety, paranoia, confusion"
Pink cocaine, also called tuci or tusi, is a branded, dyed drug sold online and popularized on social media and in music scenes. The product lacks a standard formula and commonly contains ketamine and MDMA, while samples have included methamphetamine, cocaine, opioids, fentanyl, and dyes. Users report effects ranging from euphoria, increased energy, sociability, sensory enhancement, and emotional openness to altered perception, hallucinations, and dissociation. Other mixes produce anxiety, paranoia, confusion, and disturbing thoughts. Law enforcement across U.S. cities has seized pink cocaine and linked it to trafficking cases and multiple fatalities, increasing overdose risk.
