Is Pink Cocaine / Tusi legal in Jordan?

Also known as: tucibi, tusibi, tuci

Legal status

Pink cocaine is a market label and not a substance, so Law No. 23 of 2016 has no single entry to give it, and the determination Jordan requires is recorded as «pink-cocaine: يلزم تحديد كل مكوّن في العينة وفحصه في الجداول الملحقة.», identify and test each constituent in the sample against the attached schedules. That instruction is the finding on this row rather than a gap in it. The name is used for a variable mixture, commonly built on ketamine with MDMA, methamphetamine, caffeine or a synthetic cathinone alongside it, and the pink colouring is a dye. The Law's operative definitions are membership tests applied to substances: article 2 makes «المادة المخدرة» every natural or synthetic substance listed in Schedules 1 to 4 and «المؤثرات العقلية» every such substance listed in Schedules 5 to 9. A label does not sit in any schedule, and a constituent does. The constituents most often found in material sold under this name are in fact expressly listed in Jordan, ketamine at Schedule 9, MDMA at Schedule 5 and methamphetamine at Schedule 6, which is why the label question is answered by analysis rather than by naming. Article 37 provides «لمجلس الوزراء بناء على تنسيب الوزير إجراء تعديل على أي من الجداول الملحقة بهذا القانون بحذف أي مادة منه أو إضافة أي مادة أخرى اليه أو تعديل النسب أو المواصفات أو الشروط الخاصة والمتعلقة بأي منها على ان يتم نشر ذلك في الجريدة الرسمية.», so the list of constituents that could be caught changes by Gazette decision.

Consequences if caught

The consequence is assigned constituent by constituent and never from the label, and that is not a finding of safety. A constituent listed anywhere in Schedules 1 to 9 engages mandatory life imprisonment under article 19(b), on the wording «تكون العقوبة الأشغال الشاقة المؤبدة», once a listed aggravator is proved, and mandatory death under article 20, on the wording «يعاقب بالإعدام», where the international drug gang or international criminal activity trigger is present. It does so at any quantity, because articles 19 and 20 contain no weight threshold. Where a constituent is on no schedule at all, the route for that constituent is article 14, which is non-capital. So a single tablet or a single bag sold under this name can sit on either side of that line, and the person carrying it cannot know which, because the composition varies between batches and the seller's description is not evidence of anything. A laboratory decides the case and the label decides nothing. That asymmetry is the whole risk of this row: the buyer has no way to establish the facts that determine the sentence, and the analyst has every way.

If prescribed or medical

No single prescribing answer can be given for pink cocaine, because the label covers more than one substance and there is no medicine sold under this name. Several compounds that turn up in material carrying the label are individually scheduled under Law No. 23 of 2016, and ketamine in particular is a genuine medicine in Jordan under Schedule 9, but a prescription for a licensed ketamine product says nothing about a powder bought under a street name. The country-level position is that Law No. 23 of 2016 fixes control status and does not fix prescribing or dispensing conditions, and Jordan's separate medicines and pharmacy regimes were not audited for this table, so a route there is treated as unread rather than as absent.

Documentation

There is no document that makes material sold under this label lawful to carry, and none that identifies it. A prescription covers a named medicine in its dispensing packaging, and it does not reach an unlabelled powder whatever that powder contains. The only useful action is not a documentary one: the composition has to be established by analysis, and that cannot be done at a border by the traveller. The Jordan Food and Drug Administration is the body that answers a question about a named, licensed substance, in writing and in advance. The determination instruction quoted above was read on 17 September 2026.

Drug laws and enforcement change and vary within a country. This is not legal advice. Always confirm with Jordan’s embassy or official drug authority before traveling; penalties can be severe, including imprisonment.
