In a startling development, a new drug resembling cocaine has surfaced on the streets of New York City, captured in a shocking video where it was even used as a topping on a vanilla ice cream cone.
Reports suggest that this substance, known variably as ‘tuci,’ ‘tusi,’ or ‘Pantera Rosa,’ but commonly referred to as ‘pink cocaine,’ is allegedly being distributed by migrant gangs across the city.
Originally traced back to Colombia, ‘tuci’ is a synthetic powder characterized by its vibrant pink hue.
Its composition typically includes a blend of substances like ketamine, MDMA, caffeine, and occasionally cocaine, though not consistently containing actual coke.
Despite being relatively new, ‘pink cocaine’ has already made significant headlines, notably featuring in a substantial military drug seizure earlier this year.
Moreover, it gained further attention when allegations surfaced involving rapper Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, who supposedly had his girlfriend involved in trafficking the drug.
Legal and Health Concerns
Authorities have raised alarms about the potential dangers posed by ‘pink cocaine.’
Priced significantly higher than regular cocaine, this luxury drug sells for around $100 per gram.
Medical experts caution that its potent mixture can lead to severe health risks, including agitation, hallucinations, and potentially lethal effects when consumed.
Law Enforcement Responses
Law enforcement agencies, such as the NYPD and San Jose Police Department, have begun investigations and issued warnings to the public about the presence and risks associated with this illicit substance.
Efforts are underway to curb its distribution and educate communities about its dangers.
Conclusion
As more details emerge and investigations continue, the presence of ‘pink cocaine’ underscores ongoing challenges in combating new, dangerous substances in urban environments like New York City.
Authorities remain vigilant in their efforts to address both the distribution networks and the public health impacts of this concerning trend.
