Pink Cocaine

About Pink Cocaine:

• The pink cocaine generally does not contain any cocaine.
• Composition: Common ingredients found in pink cocaine include methamphetamine, ketamine (a dissociative anaesthetic known for its hallucinogenic effects), MDMA (ecstasy), benzodiazepines, crack, and caffeine.
• It gets its pink hue from food colouring typically including at least one stimulant and one depressant.
• This drug cocktail is also known by street names such as tusi, tuci, cocaina rosada, tucibi, pink powder etc.
• Health effects: It can cause hallucinations and can impact breathing and heart attacks, high blood pressure, a heightened risk of stroke, behavioural changes, addiction, anxiety, depression, and even psychosis.
• It contains unpredictable contents that pose significant risks to users, and experts warn that some batches may be contaminated with fentanyl, a potent opioid fueling the surge in overdose deaths.
