Heads up, partygoers! There’s a new trend hitting the UK drug scene, and it’s not what it seems. Ketamine, often known in club circles, is being sold in a flashy new package as ā€œpink cocaine.ā€ But here’s the kicker: it’s not really cocaine! šŸŽ‰

This vibrant party powder, called tuci or tucibi, is made from a mix of ketamine, MDMA, and caffeine, with its roots tracing back to Columbia in the mid-2010s. It popped up in the UK around 2020 and is spreading fast. Dealers are jazzing up their excess ketamine stocks to appeal to those seeking a ‘glamorous’ experience, avoiding the stigma ketamine might carry.

In a recent raid in Liverpool, police uncovered this colourful concoction along with ecstasy, heroin, and ketamine—leading to the arrest of two suspects. Harry Sumnall, a leading expert from Liverpool John Moores University, highlights that this is part of a deliberate drive to rebrand the drug to lure new users. 🌈

The brand name might be shiny, but don’t be fooled! Each gram could be vastly different from the next, with surprises lurking in every batch. According to drug market analysts, there’s no guarantee about what you’re really getting with ā€˜pink cocaine.’

We urge everyone to stay informed and cautious. With these kinds of substances, the risks are high and unpredictable. Every batch may vary, posing potential dangers due to varying compounds and potencies. 🚫

Remember: just because it sparkles, doesn’t mean it’s safe. Stay smart and stay safe!
