Pink cocaine is an increasingly popular drug, especially in Latin America and Europe, known for its bright pink color and euphoric effects.

Despite its name, the drug often contains no actual cocaine, but instead combines substances that can have stimulant, dissociative and hallucinogenic effects.

The unpredictability of the ingredients makes the drug particularly dangerous, with users at risk of serious side effects such as unconsciousness, respiratory failure and even death.

Experts warn that the vibrant, designer appeal of pink cocaine can mislead users, who may believe they know what they’re taking. Its spread has been linked to a growing number of drug-related deaths.

The drug has gained notoriety due to its association with high-profile figures, including disgraced music mogul Diddy earlier in 2024.

Payne’s death adds to a tragic trend, and authorities are urging the public to be cautious about the growing presence of this highly dangerous drug.

THE RECENT DEATH OF FORMER ONE DIRECTION STAR LIAM PAYNE HAS DRAWN ATTENTION TO A DANGEROUS DRUG MIXTURE KNOWN AS “PINK COCAINE.”

A TOXICOLOGY REPORT REVEALED THAT PAYNE HAD THE SUBSTANCE IN HIS SYSTEM WHEN HE FELL TO HIS DEATH IN ARGENTINA EARLIER THIS WEEK.

SO, WHAT IS IN PINK COCAINE – ALSO KNOWN AS “TUSI?”

DESPITE ITS NAME, PINK COCAINE TYPICALLY CONTAINS A COMBINATION OF SYNTHETIC DRUGS LIKE METHAMPHETAMINE, MDMA, KETAMINE, OPIOIDS, AND 2-C-B… A POTENT HALLUCINOGEN GIVING IT THE ‘TUSI’ MONIKER. IN MANY CASES, IT DOESN’T CONTAIN ANY ACTUAL COCAINE, BUT IT CAN HAVE UNKNOWN SUBSTANCES LIKE BATH SALTS OR FENTANYL. ALL OF THESE INGESTED TOGETHER CREATE A MIX OF STIMULANT, DISSOCIATIVE AND PSYCHEDELIC EFFECTS.

THE DRUG GAINED NOTORIETY EARLIER THIS YEAR DUE TO ITS ASSOCIATION WITH DISGRACED HIP-HOP MOGUL DIDDY… WHEN LEGAL DOCUMENTS DETAILED THAT HIS EX-GIRLFRIEND, RAPPER YUNG MIAMI HAD TRANSPORTED THE DRUG FOR HIM ON MANY OCCASIONS. THE COCKTAIL BECAME KNOWN AS DIDDY’S DRUG OF CHOICE… INCREASING ITS POPULARITY THROUGHOUT 2024.

EXPERTS REMAIN CONCERNED ABOUT THE DRUG’S UNPREDICTABLE NATURE. WITH ITS ARTIFICIALLY ADDED PINK COLOR… IT’S MARKETED AS A DESIGNER DRUG, BUT THE RISKS ARE SEVERE… INCLUDING UNCONSCIOUSNESS, RESPIRATORY FAILURE, AND IN SOME CASES… DEATH.
