Is Pink Cocaine / Tusi legal in Kuwait?
- Legal status
- Pink cocaine (tusi) is not scheduled as such; it is a variable mixture (typically ketamine + MDMA) prosecuted through its constituents — Kuwait prohibits MDMA under its 2025 unified Anti-Drug Law (Amiri Decree-Law replacing Law No. 74 of 1983), which reaches any preparation containing a controlled substance. Because the blend varies batch to batch, exposure follows the most-severely-controlled component, so an MDMA-containing tusi sample carries capital exposure.
- Consequences if caught
- An MDMA-positive mixture is a prohibited-narcotic offence where trafficking is punishable by death or life (Arts 42–43) with mandatory death in aggravated cases (Art 44); possession and use are separately criminal.
- If prescribed or medical
- No lawful supply of the mixture; MDMA has no accepted medical or recreational use, and ketamine, where present, is a controlled medicine.
- Documentation
- Sold as a party powder of unknown makeup; because the blend varies batch to batch, buyers and travellers cannot know whether death-eligible MDMA is present, so capital-level legal exposure is unknowable at purchase.
Drug laws and enforcement change and vary within a country. This is not legal advice. Always confirm with Kuwait’s embassy or official drug authority before traveling; penalties can be severe, including imprisonment.
