Is Pink Cocaine / Tusi legal in Brazil?
- Legal status
- Pink cocaine (tusi) is not scheduled as such; it is a variable mixture (typically ketamine + MDMA) prosecuted through its constituents — both ketamine and MDMA are controlled substances under Portaria SVS/MS nº 344/1998 and the Drug Law (Lei nº 11.343/2006), which reaches any preparation containing a controlled substance. Because the blend varies batch to batch, exposure follows the most-severely-controlled detected component.
- Consequences if caught
- Trafficking is a crime under Art 33 of Law 11.343/2006 (multi-year imprisonment); personal use under Art 28 carries educational/administrative measures rather than prison, with the tier set by whichever constituent is detected.
- If prescribed or medical
- No lawful supply of the mixture; ketamine is a controlled medicine under Portaria 344/1998, while MDMA has no marketed medical use.
- Documentation
- Sold as an unregulated party powder; because composition varies batch to batch, buyers cannot know its constituents, so legal exposure under Law 11.343/2006 is unknowable at purchase.
Drug laws and enforcement change and vary within a country. This is not legal advice. Always confirm with Brazil’s embassy or official drug authority before traveling; penalties can be severe, including imprisonment.
