What is Pink Cocaine (El Tusi)?

Pink cocaine, also known as El Tusi or 2C-B, is a synthetic drug that, despite its misleading name, does not contain cocaine. Instead, it is a dangerous mixture of various psychoactive substances whose pink coloring is created by added food dyes. The composition of this drug is particularly treacherous, as it often varies and users never know exactly which substances they are actually taking, which is why it is essential to consult an experienced drug dealer if you have legal problems. Lawyer for narcotics law should be consulted. Pink cocaine typically contains a combination of ketamine, MDMA (ecstasy), methamphetamine and various synthetic cathinones. In addition, various extenders and colorants are added to create the characteristic pink appearance.

Legal classification

In the German legal system, the substances contained in pink cocaine are strictly regulated by the Narcotics Act. The legislator has created clear regulations that criminalize the handling of these dangerous substances. Possession of this drug can be punished with a prison sentence of up to five years or a substantial fine. If the active ingredients of the substances contained together exceed a not insignificant amount, prison sentences of between 1 and 15 years are possible. The legal consequences of trafficking in pink cocaine are also more serious. Although the penalties are the same as for possession, they are generally more severe. Gang trafficking is punished particularly severely, with the law stipulating a minimum prison sentence of five years and a maximum sentence of 15 years.

Health risks

The dangerous nature of pink cocaine is due in particular to the unpredictable composition of the substance. Consumers expose themselves to an almost incalculable health risk. In acute cases, overdoses can quickly become life-threatening due to the unknown composition. The various substances contained can react with each other in unpredictable ways and lead to serious complications. Documented cases show the occurrence of circulatory failure, acute psychoses and life-threatening seizures.

Long-term use can lead to permanent brain damage, severe mental illness and irreversible organ damage. The risk of addiction is further increased by the combination of various addictive substances.
