What Is ‘Pink Cocaine’? New Drug Increasingly Found in NY, Authorities Say
Last Updated: Wednesday October 9, 2024
NEW YORK (PIX11) – Federal authorities are warning about a new illegal drug increasingly being distributed in New York.
So-called “pink cocaine,” also known by the street name “tusi,” is a powdery substance consisting of a mix of illegal street drugs dyed pink.
Despite its name, pink cocaine doesn’t necessarily always contain cocaine, according to authorities. Common drugs that have appeared in lab tests include MDMA, ketamine, caffeine, and mescaline.
