Is Pink Cocaine / Tusi legal in Sudan?
- Legal status
- Pink cocaine (tusi) is not scheduled as such; it is a variable mixture (typically ketamine + MDMA) prosecuted through its constituents — Sudan prohibits MDMA under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act of 1994, 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 can carry capital exposure.
- Consequences if caught
- An MDMA-positive mixture is a serious offence under the 1994 Act where the death penalty is conditional/aggravator-based (recidivist, official, or where the offence involves a minor) and other trafficking draws lengthy imprisonment.
- If prescribed or medical
- No lawful supply of the mixture; MDMA has no accepted medical 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 MDMA (with its conditional capital exposure) is present, so legal exposure is unknowable at purchase.
Drug laws and enforcement change and vary within a country. This is not legal advice. Always confirm with Sudan’s embassy or official drug authority before traveling; penalties can be severe, including imprisonment.
