In two houses in Athens and Agia Paraskevi, Narcotics Division officers have found about 1 kilogram of pink cocaine, called TUSI, which is highly expensive.

In addition to the 30-year-old man who was arrested, police have identified a 33-year-old Greek and a 23-year-old foreigner for involvement in the drug trafficking.

What is pink cocaine

Pink cocaine is a rare drug which the only thing it has in common with cocaine is the name. It is essentially a mixture of ketamine with stimulants such as ecstasy or speed. According to a report from the Spanish newspaper El Pais, “pink cocaine” is considered a luxury drug and is mostly consumed in electronic music venues, nightclubs and parties. It sometimes smells like a strawberry and has various names such as “tushi” and “tusibi”.

A single gram can cost $90, $100 or $120 and according to the Spanish medium, the reason for its high price is due to its misleading name, as “many dealers take advantage of the fact that customers confuse one substance with another and sell everything at a high cost, regardless of the type of drug.”
