Pink Cocaine

Pink cocaine, also known as Tusi, is a mix of cocaine enhanced with ketamine, MDMA, methamphetamine, caffeine, opioids, and other new psychoactive substances (NPS).

Pink cocaine belongs to a collection of psychedelic phenethylamines distinguished by their unusual chemical structure. Specifically, they have methoxy groups at the 2 and 5 positions of a benzene ring, which contribute to their psychedelic effects. Additionally, many 2C compounds carry lipophilic substituents at the 4 position, enhancing their potency, metabolic stability, and duration of action.

The majority of the known 2C compounds were first synthesized by the chemist Alexander Shulgin during the 1970s and 1980s. His work was documented in the book “PiHKAL” (Phenethylamines I Have Known And Loved). Shulgin coined the term “2C,” which is an acronym for the two carbon atoms located between the benzene ring and the amino group in the molecular structure.

2C compounds have gained significant attention due to their diverse psychedelic effects and potential therapeutic applications. However, it’s important to note that these substances can be potent and may pose risks if not used responsibly.

The pink cocaine variant of 2C is thought to have originated in Latin American in 2018.
