Despite the slang name “pink cocaine”, Tuci (also known as Tusi) is not related to actual cocaine. It is, in fact, a mixture of several active compounds, which typically include 2C-B, ketamine, MDMA, and caffeine. Its overall effect is similar to ecstasy, which is why Tuci is a common psychedelic party drug especially popular in UK clubs. It can be consumed in pill form or crushed and snorted up the nose for a quick high.

Tuci was originally invented in the 1970s by Alexander Shulgin, who also studied MDMA extensively around the same time. It was marketed and sold legally as a therapeutic aid to enhance libido, but it was eventually classified as a controlled substance in the 1990s. For a long time after, knowledge of Tuci was limited to true connoisseurs of psychedelic substances, but awareness eventually spread via social media. Today it is fairly popular on the party scene.

Users report various effects after experiencing Tuci. Frequently it makes users comfortable, relaxed and more social, underscoring its potential as a party drug. Other reported effects include visual distortions, altered time perception, enhanced sensory perception, mood changes, and profound insights of a mystical or spiritual nature.

Because Tuci is already a mix of several drugs and the mixing ratios can vary, we do not recommend combining it with anything else. For instance, combining with alcohol (a depressant) will enhance the depressant effect of ketamine, which can lead to loss of coordination and even blackouts. Each batch of Tuci can vary in its exact effects depending on the mixture of ingredients, so it is best to approach each batch as a unique adventure and take suitable precautions to ensure a safe, positive experience.
