Brits Warned Over Sinister Rise of ‘Pink Cocaine’ Circulating the UK
LB ^ | 04 March 2023 | Claire Reid

A dangerous designer drug dubbed ‘pink cocaine’ is said to be sweeping through Europe and has been found in several locations in the UK.

Despite its name, the pink-coloured drug is not made from cocaine and is actually a mixture of ketamine and MDMA at inconsistent levels.

As well as being known as ‘pink cocaine', the drug is also called ‘tuci’ or 2C.

The video player is currently playing an ad.

According to a report from the UN, it’s been found in Spain, Austria, Switzerland and the UK.

It was discovered at a UK festival last year, prompting drug checking charity The Loop to issue a warning.

“Powder sold as 'pink tusi' has been tested on-site @lostvillagefest,” the warning read.

“Pink tusi (AKA 'pink cocaine', or 'pink') is not 2C-B, but a combination of several drugs - and always dyed pink.

“Frequently contains ketamine, MDMA & caffeine - but every batch is different.”

Now, a report in the Sun claims the drug has been found in cities including Manchester and Sheffield.

One user told the publication: “It’s all the rage in clubs and at after-parties.

“It’s just a fun, trippy drug perfect for festivals."

But an expert warned that the drug can contain a grim mix of ‘dealers leftovers’, which could cause heart problems, blurred vision, panic attacks and anxiety.

Dr Hannah Thurgur, a researcher at the Drugs Science charity, told the Sun: “Mixing drugs can be dangerous.

“For example, missing two depressant drugs like alcohol and benzos is particularly risky as this can drastically slow down breathing and heart rate.

“Pink cocaine is an emerging drug. The challenge comes in knowing what else it could be mixed with which is why we need more projects which will check drugs for users.

“In Bristol there’s a night time harm reduction project for drugs and plans for a drugs checking service for people to test what they are taking.

“We would like to see more of these across the UK.

“We’re optimistic that the drugs landscape can really change with more cities adopting harm reduction rather than zero tolerance.”

Last year, cops in Ibiza busted a British drug gang and found 13 kilos of pink cocaine, with a street value of £1.1 million.

The Guardia Civil said the gang were ‘mainly British’ and ‘of a very violent nature’, alongside the drugs they also seized a submachine gun.

A mixture of ketamine and MDMA!? That can’t be good for you.

My question is where all these new, very deadly drugs coming from? You’ve got the zombie drug, Tranq (veterinary use), in Philly that is spreading everywhere, Krokodile as well. Where are the dealers/makers obtaining the ingredients? 🤔 Couldn’t be from big Pharma, could it? I mean, they DO want to kill us and the plandemic jabs aren’t working quick enough, folks are catching on to that scam. How are these highly deadly opioids finding their way into the streets? 🤨

The harm reduction people have had 10+ years to prove their case.

If any information that feeds into your belief system comes from a Dr. Meryl Nass, be forewarned she is a communist who has been pushing Cuban propaganda since the 90s. Cuba’s only WMD capability is BCW...their leadership prefers that their potential target population, should they ever deploy their stash, be unprepared to fend it off.

I just had ketamine as part of a recent medical procedure. Weirdest experience of my life. I’d describe it to you, but words just don’t do it justice. And people take that sh*t for fun!?

Krokodile came out of the former USSR decades ago, Special K has been around even longer.

Have no idea about this pink stuff or what ever you are calling the zombie drugs but mostly they are made with stuff you would find in your local drug store or under your bathroom sink.

Krokodil is indeed from Russia. What other country.

Special K is Ketamine, which is a drug in most emergency rooms. It is also used on animals. It's recently gotten FDA approval to fight severe depression.

They are trying Ketamine for pain also, in very small doses.

Where’s the FDA? You can’t sell pink cocaine without any cocaine in it.

Glad we’re way past this crap. I cannot believe that anyone would buy anything off the street because of the Fentanyl, the skin rot tranq, etc.
