Is Pink Cocaine / Tusi legal in Serbia?
- Legal status
- This is a label and not a molecule, and the label is what the cell resolves. The dossier ran a label resolution check for «ružičasti kokain; tusi; 2C-B» against Član 2 and Lista 1 to 7 of the Spisak psihoaktivnih kontrolisanih supstanci, Službeni glasnik RS 12/2026, and did not treat it as one molecule level entry, because the powder sold under that name is a variable street mixture with no fixed composition. It checked the two constituent rows separately instead, and in this dossier those two constituents come out on opposite sides: the cocaine row is placed at Lista 1, red 54, under CAS 50-36-2, while the phenethylamine the street name points at is recorded as not verified on the Spisak at all. So the label cannot be answered as one substance, and what a Serbian analysis actually finds in a given sample is what decides the case. The dossier's explanation column for this row is corrupted by a template substitution and repeats a phrase twice, so it was not used; this cell is built from the category record and the constituent placements. The Serbian strings here are the dossier's record in Latin script and are not offered as the Cyrillic wording of the Službeni glasnik RS.
- Consequences if caught
- Capital exposure: none. The ceiling this dossier records for Serbia is 20 years of imprisonment, by Criminal Code art. 246(5) read with the general maximum in art. 45(1). That figure is document level, the same sentence on all 88 Serbian rows, so it is given here as the dossier's recorded ceiling for the country and not as a measured statement about this substance, and no route in the instruments the dossier cites reaches death. Everything below that turns on what is in the powder. If a sample is found to contain the constituent that is placed at Lista 1, red 54, then Criminal Code arts 246 and 246a apply to that constituent in full, and they divide conduct by manja količina and velika količina without printing a gram value for either. If a sample is found to contain only the phenethylamine, the position is the open one that this dossier records for it and is not settled here. A single powder can therefore produce two entirely different Serbian outcomes, and the buyer does not know which one is in the bag. Separately from that, and carried forward from this site's published Serbia entry rather than re-derived from the Criminal Code in this pass, the published penalties are these. Drug use itself is not a criminal offence. Possession of a small amount for one's own use under Criminal Code article 246a paragraph 1 draws a fine or up to three years, and punishment may be remitted in minor cases. Small quantity is not numerically defined in law, so there is no fixed statutory quantity. Possession of a large quantity under article 246a paragraph 2 draws three to ten years. Production, circulation or sale under article 246 draws three to twelve years, five to fifteen years if committed by a group, and at least ten years if by an organised group. Cultivation of opium poppy or psychoactive hemp under article 246 draws six months to five years. Facilitating the taking of narcotics is an offence under article 247. The death penalty was abolished in 2002. Every figure in this paragraph is a penalty range or a fine and none of them is a quantity threshold. Whether the offence reaches this row at all is exactly what was not established, so they are recorded as Serbia's published drug penalties and not as this row's exposure.
- If prescribed or medical
- The dossier carries no prescription information and no traveller rule for Serbia at all, so this cell defers rather than inventing one. The country level question, meaning which Serbian body authorises a controlled medicine carried in, what paperwork it wants, what quantity it allows and how long an authorisation runs, was not established by the source behind this batch and has to be settled with the Serbian authorities before travel. There is no prescription question here in any event. A variable street mixture is not a medicine, has no schedule placement of its own on the Spisak, and cannot carry a traveller route. Anything framed as a prescription for it would be a description of one of its constituents at best.
- Documentation
- Treat the name as telling you nothing about the contents. The label resolution check and the two constituent placements were read on 20 September 2026 against the Spisak at Službeni glasnik RS 12/2026. Carry any medicine in its original dispensing packaging with the prescription and a doctor's letter naming the patient, the active ingredient, the dose and the treatment period, and ask the Serbian authorities before travelling rather than at the border. The practical exposure runs through whichever constituent a Serbian laboratory reports, so the risk is not knowable in advance from the name. The citation behind this cell is document level and is the same link for all 88 Serbian substances.
- Serbia, label resolution check against Član 2 and Lista 1 to 7 of the Spisak psihoaktivnih kontrolisanih supstanci annexed to the Pravilnik o utvrđivanju Spiska psihoaktivnih kontrolisanih supstanci, Službeni glasnik RS 12/2026, for «ružičasti kokain
- tusi
- 2C-B», not treated as one molecule level entry because it is a variable street mixture, with the two constituent rows checked separately and coming out at Lista 1 red 54 under CAS 50-36-2 and as not verified respectively
- Criminal Code arts 246 and 246a with art. 246(5) and art. 45(1) carrying the document level 20 year ceiling
- read at https://www.paragraf.rs/propisi/pravilnik-o-utvrdjivanju-spiska-psihoaktivnih-kontrolisanih-supstanci.html for the Spisak and https://www.paragraf.rs/propisi/krivicni-zakonik-2019.html for the Criminal Code, a commercial republication in Latin script rather than the Cyrillic text of the Službeni glasnik RS. The dossier holds one link value for all 88 Serbian substances, so this citation is document level and not per substance, and nothing in it should be read as a source pinned to this substance alone. The dossier's own link field ran the two addresses together into one string with no separator between them. Read as at 20 September 2026.
- the article 246, 246a and 247 penalties stated above are carried forward from this site's published Serbia entry, which cites the Criminal Code articles 246, 246a and 247 and the Law on Psychoactive Controlled Substances. They were not re-derived from the Code in this pass, and that entry's own statement that small quantity is not numerically defined is carried with them
