British tourists in Spain’s Ibiza are warned of the dangers of pink cocaine: Party-goers are taking ‘deadly cocktail of substances’

BRITISH holidaymakers in Ibiza are being urged to steer clear of a dangerous new party drug known as pink cocaine. 

Also known as tusi and often containing a deadly mix of substances, it has seen a surge in popularity on the Balearic island.

Experts warn that taking pink cocaine is like ‘playing Russian roulette’ as it can contain a variety of substances, including MDMA, ketamine, caffeine, speed, and even the highly potent opioid fentanyl.

Ibiza, a popular party destination for Brits, has become a hotspot for the drug, with authorities struggling to contain its spread.

The drug can be obtained along the famous Playa d’en Bossa strip, where dealers approached the reporter within seconds, ITV News reported. 

Prices ranged from €70 to €100 per gram, highlighting the drug’s appeal to partygoers despite the dangers.

As part of their ongoing crackdown, the Guardia Civil has intensified operations across Ibiza, bringing in officers from mainland Spain to tackle the spike in drug-related crimes. 

The police have made significant seizures, but the circulation of pink cocaine remains a pressing concern.

With concerns growing about the potential for pink cocaine to infiltrate the UK drug market, experts are urging caution. 

Drug testing services across the UK have already identified the substance in several locations, highlighting the need for vigilance.
