Colombia's infamous 'pink cocaine' has made its way to Europe

Colombia's infamous 'pink cocaine' has been seized in Spain, revealing the potent narcotic has found its way to Europe.

Tourists who have been seeking a high in the South American country will have no doubt been offered the bright and colourful drug.

Despite its name, the powder doesn't actually contain any cocaine in it.

According to Vice, locals call it 'tusi' because it used to contain 2-CB.

However, now it's believed to be a mix of ketamine and MDMA.

The outlet claims there's very little consistency between dealers and the baggie could also contain benzos, meth and cathinones. It's really a...mixed bag, if you will.
