New Pink Drug Popping Up in Texas 

The first thing that people are saying about this drug beyond it being deadly is in regard to its unusual pink color. The DEA has named this new drug “Pink Cocaine.” 

Pink Cocaine Not the Same Cocaine You’re Used to Hearing About 

Most of us have seen movies where people have used cocaine. Normally no one dies but this new Pink Cocaine can be deadly as it’s mixed with other drugs. According to the DEA it’s a mixture of several different substances and every batch is different.  

Pink Cocaine typically seems to be a mix of methamphetamine, ketamine, and fentanyl or something else. In Austin they are seeing a mix of cocaine, heroin, and MDMA. There have been two instances this year where pink cocaine was seized by law enforcement officers in Austin. 

The reason for the pink color is just to make it look like it’s a brand-new drug.
