Colombia's "pink cocaine" arrives in nightclubs in Europe

A pink drug from Colombia, which is a mixture of MDMA and ketamine, is already spreading in Europe.

Known by buyers as "tusi" (2C), and referred to by the media and the police as "pink cocaine", even though it is not cocaine, the demand for this type of substance is increasing and has already been seized by the police in Spain, and yes it also circulates in other European countries.

According to what Vice reports, locals call it "tusi" because it used to contain 2-CB. However, it is now believed to be only a mixture of ketamine and MDMA.

In Colombia's main cities, the drug has become synonymous with a new generation of traffickers who are producing and selling the drug for use in nightclubs and beyond.

Described by dealers, starting from its color, as much more exclusive than cocaine, tussi is more of a brand than a specific substance.

The drug first appeared on the streets of Colombia around 2010. The pink powder, dyed with food coloring to make it distinguishable from other powders and mostly strawberry-scented, was called "tusi" because it contained the psychedelic drug 2CB.

Since then, forensic tests have shown that the drug has evolved into an unpredictable mixture, most often containing varying amounts of ketamine and MDMA, spiked with caffeine.

The product varies depending on the people making it and has been found to contain a number of other substances, such as benzos, meth and cathinone.

Last week, Spanish police announced that they had captured seven members of a gang allegedly involved in the distribution of cocaine and tussi in Madrid and Malaga. The substance was smuggled in several suitcases filled with drugs from Latin America.
