Is Pink Cocaine / Tusi legal in Turkey?
- Legal status
- Pink cocaine (tusi) is not scheduled as such; it is a variable mixture (typically ketamine + MDMA) prosecuted through its constituents — Turkey controls MDMA as a narcotic under the Penal Code (Law No. 5237) while ketamine is a controlled psychotropic dispensed on the green-prescription system under Law No. 2313, and drug law reaches any preparation containing a controlled substance. Because the blend varies batch to batch, exposure follows the most-severely-controlled detected component.
- Consequences if caught
- Possession and trafficking are prosecuted under Penal Code Arts 188/191, with imprisonment set by whichever constituent is detected.
- If prescribed or medical
- No lawful supply of the mixture; ketamine is a green-prescription controlled medicine, whereas MDMA has no marketed medical use.
- Documentation
- Sold as an unregulated party powder; because composition varies batch to batch, buyers cannot know its constituents, so legal exposure under Turkish drug law is unknowable at purchase.
Drug laws and enforcement change and vary within a country. This is not legal advice. Always confirm with Turkey’s embassy or official drug authority before traveling; penalties can be severe, including imprisonment.
