Tusi (also written as tussi, tuci, or tucibi) is a recreational drug that contains a mixture of different psychoactive substances, most commonly found in a pink-dyed powder known as pink cocaine.[1][2][3] It is believed to have originated in Latin America around 2018.[4] It may be made up of ketamine, MDMA, cocaine, methamphetamine, caffeine, opioids, and other psychoactive substances.[2] There is no standard proportions of the constituent drugs.[1][2]
Though the name "tusi" is phonetically similar to "2C", tusi is not the same psychoactive substance as 2C-B or more broadly, the 2C family. Tusi, according to the UN Office on Drugs and Crime, contained no 2C-B in most instances as of 2022.[2]
