Is Pink Cocaine / Tusi legal in United Kingdom?
- Legal status
- Pink cocaine (tusi) is not scheduled as such; it is a variable street mixture (typically ketamine + MDMA, often caffeine, rarely any real 2C-B) and is prosecuted through its constituents — the UK controls MDMA as a Class A drug and ketamine as a Class B drug under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971, and the Act reaches any preparation or product containing a controlled drug. Because the blend varies batch to batch, exposure follows the most-severely-controlled component detected, so an MDMA-containing tusi sample is treated as Class A.
- Consequences if caught
- Penalties track the worst constituent: an MDMA-positive mixture is Class A (possession up to 7 years, supply/production up to life); a ketamine-only mixture is Class B (possession up to 5 years, supply up to 14 years).
- If prescribed or medical
- There is no lawful supply of pink cocaine; of its usual constituents only ketamine is a licensed medicine (Schedule 2 anaesthetic, prescription-only), while MDMA has no marketed medical use.
- Documentation
- Sold as a party powder with no standard recipe; because composition varies batch to batch, a buyer cannot know which controlled drug is present, so legal exposure is unknowable at purchase and any sample can be charged at its most-serious constituent (typically Class A MDMA).
