Is Pink Cocaine / Tusi legal in Thailand?
Also known as: tucibi, tusibi, tuci
- Legal status
- Not applicable as a single status, and not because the notifications are silent. Pink cocaine is a street label rather than a substance: the dossier records it as a family or street-market label and not one fixed chemical entry, with every constituent to be checked against the Thai notifications separately. Thai control is closed and delegated, working entry by entry through Ministry of Public Health notifications, so a powder sold under this name is whatever it analyses as, and the same name can produce different results from one sample to the next. The constituents commonly reported under it are answered separately in this table and they do not agree: ketamine is a psychotropic Category 2 substance, MDMA, methamphetamine and 2C-B are each Category I narcotics, and caffeine is a closed list absence. Those rows, not this one, carry the schedule placements, and no single terminal status can honestly be stated for the label itself.
- Consequences if caught
- Capital exposure: reachable through three of the constituents this label covers and not through the other two. Whether it is present depends entirely on what the powder is, which is the whole problem with this label: a 2C-B, MDMA or methamphetamine result puts a person under section 145, whose paragraph 3 reaches 5 years to life plus a fine, or death, though only for an organised network leader or a state or public security impact and never by quantity, while a ketamine result caps at the 7 year section 149 maximum for a Category 2 psychotropic and carries no capital or life limb at all. The same name therefore spans the widest penalty gap in this table. No single ceiling attaches to the label, and a buyer cannot know which one applies without an analysis.
- If prescribed or medical
- There is no prescription route to state, because there is no single substance to attach one to and none of the constituents is dispensed under this name. The medical questions belong to the constituent rows, where ketamine's Category 2 psychotropic placement and the Category I placements of MDMA, methamphetamine and 2C-B each answer a different question. Thailand's country level traveller rule for personal medication was not established by this reading in any event, so even a constituent row could not supply a permit route, a quantity ceiling or a certificate requirement.
- Documentation
- Carry no assumption from the name, because it does not identify a substance: what is held is whatever the powder analyses as, and this table answers the reported constituents individually under ketamine, MDMA, methamphetamine, 2C-B and caffeine. Read those rows rather than this one for any placement or ceiling. The label finding was taken on 20 September 2026 against the Narcotics Code B.E. 2564 as promulgated in the Royal Gazette, at https://www.ratchakitcha.soc.go.th/DATA/PDF/2564/A/073/T_0001.PDF.

- Thailand, street label with no single placement: the Narcotics Code B.E. 2564 delegates the naming of ยาเสพติดให้โทษ, narcotics subject to penalty, to ministerial notification entry by entry, so the label is resolved through its constituents' own rows, which run from a Category I narcotic placement under section 145 to a Category 2 psychotropic placement under section 149 and a closed list absence
