The recent rise in discussions about "pink cocaine" has intensified due to its connection with the tragic death of former One Direction member, Liam Payne. This designer drug, also called "tusi," is linked to serious health risks and has become a growing presence in nightlife scenes.
On October 16, 2024, Liam Payne passed away after falling from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires. Early toxicology reports revealed the presence of multiple substances in his system, including pink cocaine.
Staff Allegations
Sean "Diddy" Combs has been accused of connections to "pink cocaine." According to a lawsuit filed by a former employee, Rodney "Lil Rod" Jones, Diddy’s staff was allegedly required to carry small pouches of this drug. The lawsuit further claims that drug use was a regular part of the business environment, with pink cocaine playing a significant role.
Composition and Effects
Despite the name, pink cocaine rarely contains actual cocaine. It's a blend of substances like ketamine, methamphetamine, and MDMA (Ecstasy), with the pink color often coming from food coloring. It may look appealing, but its effects are far from harmless. Users often experience strong dissociative and psychedelic effects, leading to a state known as a "k-hole," where they feel disconnected from their surroundings.
Health Risks
The biggest danger of pink cocaine lies in its unpredictable composition. It can sometimes be mixed with fentanyl, a powerful opioid responsible for many overdose deaths. Because the street drug market is unregulated, the ingredients in each batch can vary wildly.
