Is Pink Cocaine / Tusi legal in India?
- Legal status
- Pink cocaine (tusi) is not scheduled as such; it is a variable mixture (typically ketamine + MDMA) prosecuted through its constituents — both MDMA and ketamine are controlled narcotic/psychotropic substances under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act 1985 (NDPS), which reaches any preparation or mixture containing a controlled substance. Because the blend varies batch to batch, exposure follows the most-severely-controlled detected component.
- Consequences if caught
- Illegal with quantity-graded penalties under the NDPS Act (Secs 15–27), and the tough bail bar of Sec 37 for commercial quantities, charged on whichever constituent is detected.
- If prescribed or medical
- No lawful supply of the mixture; ketamine is a controlled medicine used as an anaesthetic under strict NDPS/veterinary control, while MDMA has no marketed medical use.
- Documentation
- Sold as an unregulated party powder; because the makeup varies batch to batch, purchasers cannot know its constituents, so legal exposure under the NDPS Act is unknowable at purchase.
