Is Pink Cocaine / Tusi legal in France?
- Legal status
- Pink cocaine (tusi) is not scheduled as such; it is a variable mixture (typically ketamine + MDMA) prosecuted through its constituents — France classifies both MDMA and ketamine as stupéfiants under the Public Health Code (Code de la santé publique), and the narcotics regime reaches any preparation containing a stupéfiant. Because the blend varies batch to batch, exposure follows the most-severely-controlled detected component, both of which are narcotics here.
- Consequences if caught
- Treated as a stupéfiant regardless of blend: personal use up to 1 year imprisonment (or the amende forfaitaire), trafficking up to 10 years or more.
- If prescribed or medical
- No lawful supply of the mixture; ketamine is a hospital anaesthetic dispensed under narcotics rules, while MDMA has no authorised medical use.
- Documentation
- Sold as an unregulated party powder; because its makeup varies batch to batch, purchasers cannot know its exact constituents, so legal exposure to the stupéfiants regime is unknowable at purchase.
Drug laws and enforcement change and vary within a country. This is not legal advice. Always confirm with France’s embassy or official drug authority before traveling; penalties can be severe, including imprisonment.
