Pink cocaine might often be mistaken for some kind of a pink version of cocaine. However, it does not contain cocaine. In fact, it is a mix (or you can even say, a cocktail) of MDMA, ketamine, and 2C-B. It comes in vibrant pink-colored pills or powder.
The chemical composition of pink cocaine varies, and since it is not regulated it poses a significant risk to those who consume it. It can lead to abuse, overdose, and fatalities as well.
At the NuView Treatment Center, we provide comprehensive care and treatment for our clients suffering from pink cocaine use. Our approach is rooted in evidence-based therapies that seek to identify triggers, manage cravings, and develop coping skills.

What Is Pink Cocaine?
Pink cocaine originated in Colombia and is a drug cocktail of substances like MDMA, ketamine, and 2C-B. It is called pink cocaine because it comes in pink-colored pills and powder. It goes by other names like tuci drug, tucibi, tusi, and tusibi.
Now, it is natural to wonder whether pink cocaine actually contains cocaine. Not necessarily so. However, in some cases, there has been evidence of pink cocaine samples containing ketamine, MDMA, methamphetamine, opioids, new psychoactive substances, and yes, cocaine.
Nevertheless, pink cocaine can be addictive and can lead to overdose as well as death. As it is not regulated, the purity and safety of the substance cannot be guaranteed either.
Forms and Appearance of Pink Cocaine
Typically, pink cocaine is found in the form of pills and powder. Rarely is it ever injected. Pink cocaine is called “pink” because it is vibrant pink in color, and this is mainly because of food coloring and/or strawberry flavoring.

Effects & Side Effects of Pink Cocaine
Pink cocaine is a party drug and is popular among the youth. In fact, its popularity increased leaps and bounds during the COVID-19 pandemic and it came to be known for its stimulant and hallucinogenic properties. It leads to the following psychological effects:
-
A high or euphoria – a rush of pleasurable feelings
-
Increased energy
-
Enhanced alertness
-
Increased sensory perception
While these pleasant feelings are what make it a popular drug, there are quite a number of unwanted effects that come with the use of pink cocaine as well:
-
Anxiety
-
Agitation
-
Lowered mood
-
Cognitive impairments
-
Psychosis
Risks and Dangers of Pink Cocaine
Pink cocaine is addictive and has a lot of risks and dangers. This includes overdose. Overdose, if not immediately attended to, can lead to life-threatening conditions. In extreme cases, it can indeed lead to death.
Signs of a pink cocaine overdose are as follows:
-
Agitation
-
Increased blood pressure
-
Increased heart rate
-
Hallucinations
-
Hyperthermia (higher than normal body temperature)
Apart from the above, it can also lead to hypertension, resulting in cardiovascular problems like arrhythmias, heart attack, and stroke.
Pink cocaine is extremely dangerous. If anyone is experiencing any of the above-mentioned symptoms, then it is crucial to contact the doctor or emergency services like 9-1-1 (in the U.S.) immediately.
Pink Cocaine vs. Regular Cocaine
Pink cocaine and regular or traditional cocaine are quite different substances. For one, regular cocaine is a naturally occurring alkaloid, whereas pink cocaine is a synthetic drug cocktail. It contains substances like ketamine, MDMA, and 2C-B. It can also contain caffeine, cocaine, methamphetamine, and so on.
Chemically as well, pink cocaine and regular cocaine are different. Regular cocaine produces stimulant effects while pink cocaine is popular for producing a high and other psychedelic effects as well.

How Does Pink Cocaine Make You Feel?
Pink cocaine gives rise to pleasurable feelings, which is why it is a popular drug. It produces a high, boosts energy, alters sensitivity, and also gives rise to hallucinations. However, on the flip side, it can give rise to confusion, agitation, depressed mood, dehydration, vision problems, and so on.
Long-term pink cocaine use can lead to a lot of health complications, like heart attack and stroke. It can lead to overdose and death as well.
Legal Status of Pink Cocaine
Pink cocaine is illegal. It is often created in illegal labs, and labs can add their own mix of substances to this tuci drug. This makes it highly variable, non-regulated, and of course, dangerous.
Treatment Options for Pink Cocaine Abuse
Pink cocaine is addictive and has the potential for misuse and abuse.
The first step of treatment for pink cocaine abuse is detox. Detox is medically supervised, wherein the drug is reduced gradually so as to minimize and manage any withdrawal symptoms.
While detox helps in clearing the system of pink cocaine, sober living also needs psychotherapy. At NuView, our licensed and skilled mental health experts provide cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, group therapy, and holistic therapies like mindfulness therapy.
-
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy – It involves changing the thinking, emotional, and behavioral patterns associated with pink cocaine abuse and reshaping them into healthy ones. Coping skills are also provided so as to cope with triggers and cravings in a positive way.
-
Motivational Interviewing – Motivation is instilled so as to change behaviors pertaining to pink cocaine abuse. Here, the pros and cons of bringing about healthy changes in life are considered, strategies are provided, confidence is built, and skills are developed to enable recovery.
-
Group Counseling – Led by one or two therapists, it involves sharing experiences, observational learning, and finding support.
-
Mindfulness Therapy – It is a holistic therapy that focuses on developing flexible strategies to cope with triggers and cravings rather than resorting to reactive ones leading to pink cocaine abuse.
While psychotherapy leads to recovery, what must also be kept in mind is that recovery is ongoing and it requires continuous care and support. Cultivating a strong social support system and enrolling in informal peer groups like 12-step recovery programs can be helpful in achieving lasting sobriety.
