How There Has Been A Spike In Tusi Consumption In NYC Since The Diddy Raid (7/5/24)
"Tusi," also known as "pink cocaine" or "tucibi," is a synthetic drug that has gained popularity in some regions, particularly in Latin America. Despite its nickname, it is not related to actual cocaine. The drug is often marketed as a recreational drug, usually in the form of pink powder or crystals, which gives it its nickname.CompositionTusi's composition can vary significantly, but it often includes a mixture of different substances. The primary components typically include:
- MDMA (Ecstasy): This is a psychoactive drug primarily used for recreational purposes. It is known for its ability to induce feelings of euphoria, emotional closeness, and enhanced sensory perception.
- Ketamine: An anesthetic that is also used recreationally for its dissociative effects, including hallucinations and a sense of detachment from reality.
- Other Substances: Due to its illicit nature, tusi can contain a variety of other substances, including caffeine, amphetamines, or other adulterants. The exact composition can be unpredictable and varies depending on the source.
- Euphoria: A feeling of intense happiness and well-being.
- Increased Sociability: Users may feel more outgoing and connected to others.
- Enhanced Sensory Perception: Colors, sounds, and tactile sensations may be perceived more intensely.
- Dissociation: A feeling of detachment from one's body or surroundings, primarily due to the ketamine content.
- Hallucinations: Visual or auditory hallucinations can occur, especially at higher doses.
- Unpredictable Effects: Due to its variable composition, the effects can be unpredictable and vary from one batch to another.
- Health Risks: The combination of different substances can increase the risk of adverse reactions, including cardiovascular issues, seizures, and psychological effects such as anxiety, paranoia, or psychosis.
- Addiction: Regular use can lead to dependence and addiction, particularly to the MDMA or ketamine components.
- Overdose: There is a risk of overdose, especially since users may not know the exact contents or potency of the drug they are taking.
In this episode, we take a look at the spike in consumption and distribution of Tusi in the wake of the Diddy raid.

What's up everyone and welcome back to the program. As we've been discussing Diddy and the situation that he finds himself in, we've been talking about Pink Cocaine. And it's not the first time we've discussed Pink Cocaine here on the podcast, we've talked about it previously and how it's becoming more prevalent in the club scene. Well with somebody like Diddy involved in supposedly allegedly using this drug, it skyrockets it as far as people on the street feel. And now, they're not even calling it Pink Cocaine anymore, they're calling it Diddy. So in this episode, we're going to dive into an article from the New York Post and we're going to see what they have to say about Diddy and the Pink Cocaine. But before we do that, why don't we do a quick overview of what Tousy or Pink Cocaine is? Tousy is also known as Pink Cocaine or Tousy B. It's a synthetic drug that has gained popularity in some regions, particularly in Latin America. Despite its nickname, it's not related to actual cocaine, the drug is often marketed as a recreational drug usually in the form of pink powder or crystals, which give it its nickname. Tousy's composition can vary significantly, but it often includes a mixture of different substances. The primary components typically include ecstasy. This is a psychoactive drug primarily used for recreational purposes. It's known for its ability to induce feelings of euphoria, emotional closeness, and enhanced sensory perception. 2. Ketamine, an anesthetic that is also used recreationally, especially for hallucinations and a sense of detachment from reality. Due to its illicit nature, Tousy can contain a variety of other substances, including caffeine, amphetamines, or other adulterants, including fentanyl. The exact composition of each mix varies. The effects of Tousy can be diverse due to its mixed composition. Common effects reported by users include euphoria, a feeling of intense happiness and well-being, increased sociability, users may feel more outgoing and connected to others, enhanced sensory perception, colors, sounds, and sensations may be perceived more intensely. With association, a feeling of detachment from one's body or surroundings primarily due to the ketamine content. Hallucinations, visual or auditory hallucinations can occur, especially at higher doses. The use of Tousy carries several risks and potential side effects. Due to its variable composition, the effects can be unpredictable and vary from one batch to another. The combination of different substances can increase the risk of adverse reactions, including cardiovascular issues, seizures, and psychological effects, such as anxiety, paranoia, or psychosis. Addiction. Regular use can lead to dependence and addiction, particularly the MDMA or ketamine components. There is a risk of overdose especially since users may not know what the exact contents or potency of the drug they are taking. And finally, the legal status of Tousy varies by country. In many places, the substances commonly found in Tousy, such as MDMA and ketamine, are controlled substances, making the production, distribution, and possession of Tousy illegal. Law enforcement agencies often target the drug due to its association with illegal activities and potential for harm. Alright, now that we've set the table, let's dive into this article and let's eat. Today's article is from the New York Post and the headline. History Pink O'Kane, allegedly enjoyed by Diddy, sees bump across New York's drug scene. This article was authored by Joe Moreno, Larry Solona, and Matt Troutman. The Big Apple's newest drug bump isn't so pretty in pink. A pink mystery powder reportedly beloved by disgraced mogul Diddy and linked to a dangerous Venezuelan gang is blowing through New York City's illicit drug scene, law enforcement sources and experts tell the post and whenever something new like this hits forget it, you're gonna have a bunch of groups looking to get in on it and considering you can put whatever the fuck you want in a bag, well, there's going to be profits to be had, right? And the thing with the food coloring and the dye that cracks me up because when I was a younger man and I used to, you know, party, there was a bit of that happening for us as well. But instead of using food coloring, we were using Kool-Aid to make the ketamine a different flavor. So you'd go by the ketamine, Mexico, wherever, you'd come back, you'd get some Pyrex, you'd put the liquid ketamine on the Pyrex, put it in the oven, you'd cook it up, then it turns into powder and from there you chop it and you slang it, do whatever you're gonna do with it, use it, whatever. But it's pretty funny to see them using these additives and food coloring considering that was something that was happening in the late 90s, early 2000s. And while it wasn't Tussi back then, it was certainly ketamine and there was a whole lot of it making its way through the scene. The synthetic drug concoction known as Tussi or a pincocaine has popped up in a growing number of recent narcotics busts, including of an upper east side woman who allegedly openly sold it on a messaging app, sources said. Now this is straight up bananas, you got people out here on these apps that are selling drugs like it's an open arrow market and the crazy part is for every one of these people that gets nailed five more pop up. And that just feeds right into the decapitation strategy that we always talk about. As long as there is a demand for these drugs, there's always going to be somebody providing them, whether it's on the internet or on the street corner. It's cheaper than Coke said Ray Donovan, former chief of operations for the US Drug Enforcement Administration, it's a cheap club drug and down in Latin America, well they use like the leftovers from like cocaine cooks and it's like a poor people drug in Latin America. For people who can't afford cocaine and the rest of it, a lot of these dudes are doing pink Tussi down there. Tussi originally sprang up in Latin America within the last decade as a phonetic play on Tussi, a group of psychedelic drugs popular in the nightlife set, said Joseph Palomar, an associate professor of population health at NYU Langone, who recently published the study on the pink powder. But the drug isn't primarily Tussi or even cocaine, despite it's moniker as he said. And that's a fact, like I was saying down in Latin America, this is just like a bunch of leftovers thrown in a pot almost, that's how you make Tussi. And of course you can mess with the concoction, you can mess with the combinations that you're using, but I'm talking about in its original form, its original intent down in South America, Latin America, this was used as a cheaper alternative to some of these other club drugs. Instead it's always mostly ketamine, in addition to swirling cocktails of other narcotics such as MDMA, methamphetamine, opioids, and small amounts of cocaine, depending on whoever is brewing the batch, Palomar said. The only ingredient that apparently won't get users high, is what gives the drug its distinctive pink color food coloring. "It's the new mystery powder to hit the nightclubs," Palomar said. "I think everybody's concoction is going to be different from the next persons." Well, there's no doubt. And again folks, look I'm not going to sit here and tell you, oh you shouldn't go out and have a good time, that's not my place. What I will tell you though, is if you're going to go out and party, please do it responsibly. Make sure you're testing these drugs if you're taking them, and you're doing it the right way. Because I know for a fact that people are out there partying, right? And I'm not going to sit here and pretend that people are going to stop because they read this stuff or hear this stuff. But if people are more responsible, hopefully that stems the title a little bit, right? But you have to be very, very careful when you're mixing all these drugs. Because the reactions in some people are obviously different than in others. And if you're somebody that's adverse to some of the ingredients in one of these batches, you can find yourself in serious trouble. The candy-colored drugs Latin American link isn't just in its origin, but also in its association with the notorious Tren de Aragua gang from Venezuela that accused NYPD cop shooter Bernardo Raoul Castro-Mata 19 set his smuggling guns into migrant shelters according to authorities. Jason Savino, the NYPD's assistant chief of detectives, told Fox five last week that the gang has expanded into trafficking to see police sources told the post that the gang linked cooks are a peddling to see on Roosevelt Avenue street corners, a notorious open-air drug and prostitution market in Jackson Heights. But other pink cocaine peddling slime or homegrown sources said Bradley Fernandez, a 36-year-old busted by NYPD cops in April on the Lower East Side with a half-kilo of Tussi, as well as cocaine and guns, had no known ties to the gang according to sources. He has pleaded not guilty to drug and firearm charges, court record show. Tussi first popped up on the New York City Special Narcotics Prosecutor's Office radar about 2023 when investigators at January stopped a Toyota Highlander in the Meatpacking District, hauling a 10-pound bag of pink cocaine, officials said. This has been going on for quite some time, and this drug has also obviously made its way to Europe. This is a popular drug over in Europe now, Spain especially. Since then, investigators with The Office found that an Upper East Side woman, Deirdre Jackson, brazenly advertised on the Telegram messaging app that she was selling to see authorities said. Tussi, pink coke, was one of 10 different drugs, listed on a menu posted on Telegram by Jackson, according to a screenshot provided to the post. My guess is if you tested those drugs, none of them would be what she's saying they are. A probe by Homeland Security Investigations ended with a June 25 bust at Jackson's York Avenue apartment, in which authorities arrested her and confiscated cocaine and paying powdery substance, a criminal complaint states. Jackson pleaded not guilty and was ordered held on a $200,000 cash bond, authorities said. And YPD sources said that Tussi has another street level nickname because of its association with a jet setter. The Diddy drug. Well isn't that nice. Good old Diddy over here really influencing the world, huh? And if you add as much money as Diddy, why do you need to do all these drugs? I don't understand it. When I used to party it was an escape from my real life, right? Shit, the week sucked, work was horrible, my boss is a dick, I got problems here and problems there, might as well get loaded. But if you're Diddy really? Here's an idea if you're bummed go to the Amalfi coast and put your feet in the water. Why are you out here acting like a fool homie? Like Sonny said in a Bronx tale, wasted talent. New York's own Sean Diddy Combs pension for pin cocaine was alleged in a high profile civil lawsuit against the embattled hip-hop mogul. His ex-girlfriend young Miami transported the drug forum on a private jet from Miami, Florida to a Virginia music festival because Sean Combs wanted to see but Brendan Paul, Diddy's alleged drug mule forgot it, the lawsuit states, "Law enforcement sources said that to see's loosey goosey combination of ingredients raise drug users ever present risk of accidental overdose to new heights, thousand percent. There is zero chance in this whole ass world I would ever, ever put this shit in my body." We saw one drug dealer marketing two entirely different substances as pin cocaine, one mixture of cocaine, ketamine and MDMA died pink, another batch ketamine alone said Bridget Brennan, the city's special narcotics prosecutor in a statement, "Well if you don't have a testing kit how are you going to know what you're getting, what you're putting in your body." What the seller calls the product may have no relationship to what it contains. Dealers could also mix fentanyl, a synthetic opioid commonly cut into cocaine and heroin and linked to 200,000 overdose deaths since President Biden took office and that already free willing to see concoctions an NYPD source said, "We want to raise awareness because that's the next thing, it's just a matter of time, we see fentanyl make its way in there and it gets stepped on too many times, Savino the NYPD official told the post this week and that is 1 million percent happening." Whatever the cheapest product to put in there, that's what they're going to cut it with and put it in there, it's all about increasing their dough right? So for instance if they get a batch of pure heroin, well they're going to step on it multiple times to increase their profit and the same goes with all of this other stuff too. XDEA official Donovan agreed, "It's not big yet but the concern is that it'll catch fire." Even without fentanyl, Tucey can lead to dangerous reactions, Palomar said, noting nightclub goers can mistakenly think they're a pink cocaine will counteract the effects of alcohol. So what do you mean by that? For those of you who are in the know, if you're loaded and you're drunk and you do some blow, it counteracts the effects of that alcohol. So a lot of people will try and do a little bit of blow if they've been drinking at the club or whatever to try and get their head right. I know it sounds counterproductive as shit to people who have never done it or party like this, but it's something that's pretty common. Just like if you're doing cocaine, a lot of times you're going to have some Xanax on you too so that when you're coming down, it's not that big of a pain in the balls. That'd mean the concoctions primary ingredient can be deadly when mixed with alcohol, he said. "You literally don't know what they're putting in it," Palomar said. "And I don't know how anyone would want to get drunk while they're on K. I've been in a K-hole before and I'll tell you what, the last thing I'd want to do is drink anything. But this shit is prevalent folks, it's out there, and my guess is if you're going out to clubs or whatever, you've either run into it or you're going to run into it. My advice is, stay away from it. My advice is, stay away from all this shit honestly, but if you're going to do it, if you're going to party, get a test kit. Make sure you have Narcan, because I don't want to end up reading about one of you here on the podcast, and hopefully if you're ever in this situation where some of this shit's put in front of your face, you hear my voice popping up in the back of your head telling you not to do it, because folks, this isn't the kind of shit we grew up with. This isn't, you know, we're going out to the bar, you're running into some dude at the bar, you might know for a little bit or whatever, he has some blow, you guys go to the bathroom, have a bump, whatever it might be. It's a whole different story now, these designer drugs are a lot more dangerous than people from my generation were used to dealing with, so we have to understand that, and we have to know that it's a whole new playing field out there, and the dangers for people who are taking these drugs have increased tenfold, and when you see all of these overdose deaths, there's no debate that the drugs are much more potent, much cheaper, and certainly more deadly, and as far as Diddy goes with his drug situation, it's going to be something that's going to come back to Burnham, you wait and see, they have this investigation going on right now behind the scenes, and that investigation has already led to one arrest with Brendan Paul, now he was released, but we all know how this works, they're going to press him, they're going to make him flex, and eventually, in my opinion, he's going to turn on Diddy, if he hasn't turned on him already, because when we're talking about the kind of situation that Brendan Paul is going to be looking at, the multiple years in prison, because of these drugs, you know he's going to rat, bro's not built for that, what he's going to take a 20 year bid for Diddy, yeah right, not going to happen, so we're going to keep an eye on it, like usual, and we're going to keep following along, and when we have some more relevant information, we'll get it added to the catalog.
