Synthetic drugs have long wreaked havoc on communities worldwide, and "Tuci" or "Tusi," also known as "Pink Cocaine," is the latest substance to surge in the market. Originating in Colombia, Tusi became a hot topic of conversation after the drug was mentioned in Rodney "Lil Rod" Jones Jr.'s lawsuit against Sean " Diddy " Combs.
Jones made shocking allegations in court documents, including accusing Diddy of hosting wild, drug-fueled parties where sexual assaults took place. According to Jones, Diddy hired a "mule" named Brendan Paul who "procured, transported and distributed ecstasy, cocaine, GHB, ketamine, marijuana, mushrooms, and tuci by packing these substances in their carry-on luggage and going through TSA." Further, Jones named Yung Miami as someone who helped transport the drug to the Bad Boy mogul.
The bright pink substance's look appeals to users, but because it is a relatively newer drug, its long-term effects have yet to be studied.
