Is Pink Cocaine / Tusi legal in Uzbekistan?

Legal status

Controlled whenever the product contains a listed drug. Pink cocaine is a street name for a dyed powder, not a substance, and no list names it [Certain]. The notes to Resolution 330 bring under control, for List I, «все смеси, в состав которых входят наркотические средства данного списка, независимо от их количества», and for List II and List III, preparations containing a listed drug or substance «независимо от их количества и наличия нейтральных компонентов» [Certain]. The constituents usually reported, ketamine (List III row 25, «Кетамин») and MDMA (List I row 79), are both listed [Certain that they are listed; Likely that a given sample contains them].

Consequences if caught

Capital exposure: none. Article 25 of the Constitution of the Republic of Uzbekistan of 30 April 2023 provides «Ўзбекистон Республикасида ўлим жазоси тақиқланади», in the Russian text «В Республике Узбекистан смертная казнь запрещается» (the death penalty is prohibited in the Republic of Uzbekistan), read in both texts on lex.uz on 3 October 2026 [Certain]. For ketamine List III row 25 prints «0,2», a range from 0,2 to 1,0 and «1,0» grams, and for MDMA List I row 79 prints «0,02», a range from 0,02 to 0,2 and «0,2» [Certain]. Which threshold governs a mixed powder depends on what a laboratory finds in it, and the texts read do not set a rule for a mixture of two listed drugs [Certain that none is stated]. Resolution 359 states from 2027 that a combined medicine with several controlled substances is controlled as the one present in the largest quantity, but that rule speaks of medicines, not street mixtures [Certain]. The drug offences sit in articles 270 to 276 and 276-1 to 276-8 of the Criminal Code, several of them restated by Law ZRU-1151 of 11 June 2026, published on 12 June 2026, and the Code was read in that version [Certain]. Article 276 punishes making, keeping, acquiring, carrying or sending narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances or their analogues without intent to sell with a fine of up to fifty times the base calculation amount, up to three hundred and sixty hours of compulsory community work, up to three years of correctional labour, one to three years of restricted liberty or up to three years of deprivation of liberty, and with three to five years where it is done «кўп миқдорда» (in a large amount) or by a repeat offender [Certain]. Article 273 punishes the same conduct with intent to sell, and selling: up to three years under part one, three to five years where the amount is «кўп бўлмаган» (not large), five to seven years where it is «озгинадан кўпроқ» (more than a little), seven to ten years under part four for a repeat offence, a group by prior agreement, a prison, an educational setting, a minor or use of the internet, ten to fifteen years under part five for an especially dangerous recidivist or an organised group, and fifteen to twenty years under part six for a large amount or an organised group acting in two or more states or online [Certain]. Twenty years is the highest term in articles 270 to 276 as read [Certain]. Below the criminal level, Administrative Code article 56, restated by the same law, punishes the same conduct without intent to sell in a small amount («оз миқдорда») with confiscation and a fine of one to two times the base calculation amount or administrative arrest of up to fifteen days, and article 187-1 punishes use in a public place with a fine of twenty to forty times the base calculation amount or arrest of up to fifteen days, except use on prescription for medical purposes [Certain]. Resolution 330 is repealed from 12 January 2027 by Cabinet of Ministers Resolution No. 359 of 2 July 2026, published on 11 July 2026, whose paragraph 7 brings it into force six months after official publication and whose annex 10 lists Resolution 330 among the repealed acts; lex.uz records the entry into force as 12.01.2027 [Certain]. Resolution 359 keeps ketamine in List III and MDMA in List I [Certain].
