Is Pink Cocaine / Tusi legal in United Arab Emirates?

Confirmed against a primary sourceVerified September 21, 2026
Legal status
Pink cocaine is a variable street mixture and not the name of a single chemical substance, and that is the settled treatment of this label rather than an unfinished answer. The dossier records «الكوكايين الوردي؛ توسي» as a label that is not the name of one chemical substance in the schedules, so the Emirati result follows each proved constituent and there is no label wide placement to give. The complete schedules of Decision No. 158 of 2025 were the instrument checked, and the determination is that the label does not map to an entry in them. In practice the powders sold under this name are most often a mixture, and the names that appear in analyses of them, ketamine at Schedule 6, item 7 and the methylenedioxy compounds in Schedule 5, are placed in different schedules under different articles, which is precisely why the label cannot carry one answer. The determination was made on 20 September 2026.
Consequences if caught
Capital exposure: not established. That is a property of the label rather than an open question about a substance: each proved constituent must be classified first, and the constituent's own schedule then determines whether Article 57, Article 58 or no capital route applies, so no label wide capital quantity can be stated. The spread is wide and it is the point. A constituent in Schedules 1, 2, 4 Section I or 5 brings Article 57, which the dossier records as stating mandatory death for its trafficking or promotion trigger with no quantity. A constituent in Schedules 3, 6, 7 or 8 brings Article 58, recorded as death or life imprisonment in the alternative, also with no quantity. Two powders sold under the same name can therefore sit on different articles, and neither outcome can be read off the name.
If prescribed or medical
No prescription question attaches to a street mixture label, because there is no entry for a prescription or a permit to evidence and no medicinal product behind the name. The dossier records at the modafinil row that a 268 entry ministry travellers list was checked and expressly not used as a schedule, which has no bearing here. Any medical question would belong to a proved constituent and would be answered on that constituent's row.
Documentation
There is nothing to document for a label of this kind. Provenance: the constituent specific determination against the complete Decision No. 158 of 2025 schedules, recorded at «الكوكايين الوردي؛ توسي», was made on 20 September 2026. The single practical point is that a buyer does not know what is in the powder, and the legal position follows what an analysis finds rather than what it was sold as, so the label offers no basis for any expectation at all.
