Drug test centre detects pink cocaine ‘cocktail’

A SAMPLE given to Canberra’s drug-testing site CanTEST, expected to be 2C-B, was actually a drug cocktail known as “tusi” or “pink cocaine”.

The ‘pink cocaine’ sample given to CanTEST

A post on CanTEST social media says the sample, purchased as psychedelic 2C-B was found to contain a combination of dissociative and stimulant drugs including ketamine, MDMA and cocaine.

“Tusi” was named for containing 2C-B, but it doesn’t always contain 2C-B.

Can TEST is warning Canberrans to test their drugs before taking them. The testing centre, which started in Canberra in July, is open for free testing every Thursday, 10am-1pm, and every Friday, 6pm-9pm.
