Is Pink Cocaine / Tusi legal in Australia?
- Legal status
- Pink cocaine (tusi) is not scheduled as such; it is a variable mixture (typically ketamine + MDMA) prosecuted through its constituents — MDMA is a prohibited illicit drug whose importation is a criminal offence, while ketamine is a Schedule 8 controlled-drug medicine under the Poisons Standard, enforced through State/Territory drug laws that reach any admixture containing a controlled drug. Because the blend varies batch to batch, exposure follows the most-severely-controlled detected component.
- Consequences if caught
- An MDMA-positive mixture is an illicit-drug offence (possession, supply and importation criminal under State law and the Customs Act); ketamine outside medical channels is a controlled-drug offence.
- If prescribed or medical
- No lawful supply of street tusi; ketamine is a Schedule 8 prescribed anaesthetic and MDMA may only be supplied by an Authorised Prescriber for PTSD under the 2023 TGA scheme — neither authorises the street mixture.
- Documentation
- Sold as an unregulated party powder; because composition varies batch to batch, buyers cannot know its constituents, so legal exposure (and importation risk) is unknowable at purchase.
