Tusi (tuci, tucibi, pink cocaine), is a recreational drug most commonly found in pink-dyed powder form that contains a mixture of different psychoactive substances.[1][2][3] The concoction is also referred to as “pink cocaine”, as it typically circulates on the illicit market in pink powder form.[3] Tusi is believed to have originated in Latin America around 2018. Drug-checking studies in Latin America report tusi to be a typical concoction of ketamine, MDMA, methamphetamine, cocaine, caffeine, opioids, and other new psychoactive substances (NPS).[2] Existing literatures suggest tuci to have no standard proportions of the constituent drugs.[1][2]
The name "tusi" phonetically translates to "2C", while they may be pronounced in a similar way, tuci is not the same psychoactive substance as 2C-B (or, more broadly, the 2C family). Tuci, according to the UN Office on Drugs and Crime, contained no 2C-B in most instances as of 2022.[2]
