Is Pink Cocaine / Tusi legal in Ireland?
- Legal status
- Pink cocaine (tusi) is not scheduled as such; it is a variable mixture (typically ketamine + MDMA) prosecuted through its constituents — Ireland controls MDMA as a scheduled controlled drug and ketamine as a Schedule 3 controlled drug under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1977 (Misuse of Drugs Regulations 2017), and the Act reaches any preparation containing a controlled drug. Because the blend varies batch to batch, exposure follows the most-severely-controlled detected component.
- Consequences if caught
- Possession is criminal (Sec 3, up to 7 years on indictment); supply carries up to life imprisonment (Sec 15), applied by reference to whichever constituent is detected.
- If prescribed or medical
- No lawful supply of the mixture; ketamine is a Schedule 3 prescribed medicine, 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 Misuse of Drugs Act is unknowable at purchase.
Drug laws and enforcement change and vary within a country. This is not legal advice. Always confirm with Ireland’s embassy or official drug authority before traveling; penalties can be severe, including imprisonment.
