PINK COCAINE; A TRENDING DRUG

 PINK COCAINE; A NEW TRENDING DRUG

________________________________________

What is PINK COCAINE?

 

     Pink cocaine is a designer drug that's typically a powdery

mix of Ketamine and other illicit substances; and, likely dyed

with food coloring for its look. Sometimes, the smell has a sweet

odor coming from it; comparable to strawberries.

      The drug, which originated in Columbia, has grown

worldwide popularity and moved into areas of the US and

other regions of the world as well. Pink cocaine hasn't existed

for very long, so many researchers have little knowledge of

the long term effects of use.

Other names/nicknames: Tusi, Tuci, Tusbi, Tuobi

IS PINK COCAINE REALLY COCAINE?

   In short, the answer is no.; at least not entirely. Street drugs

aren't regulated by the government, so there's no way to know

exactly the actual contents in pink cocaine.

  Researchers have found that most samples of pink cocaine

include a mix of ketamine along with one or more of the following:

-MDMA

-meth

-cocaine

-opiates

-bath salts

-benzos

-LSD

  Additionally, there is a consensus that many batches of pink

cocaine also contain some amount of fentanyl.

  You likely won't be able to predict how you'll feel when under

the influence. The effects can be dependent upon:

The high lasts, on average, 1-3 hours, but can last as long as

RISKS

  Pink cocaine includes a mix of drugs that can effect you in

many different ways. The combination can trigger side effects

that are both uncomfortable and scary.

  Just like any other drug, one can become addicted or develop

a tolerance; thus a desire for more and more of the drug.

   This drug is also made in unregulated labs, with no oversight;

thus, no real way to know how strong of a dose you are getting

at any one time.
