The rise of a lethal new designer drug, known as “pink cocaine,” is sweeping the U.S. and U.K., with origins tied to the sons of infamous cartel boss El Chapo. Despite its alluring name, pink cocaine is a dangerous cocktail, often made from unpredictable mixtures of ketamine, MDMA, methamphetamines, and other potent substances. This highly addictive drug has already been linked to numerous deaths.
Invented in the 70s but recently gaining popularity due to its vibrant pink hue, the drug’s unpredictability has experts warning that using it is like playing “Russian Roulette.” Sold in powder or pill form, its appeal has skyrocketed, but its inconsistent recipe can include deadly opioids like fentanyl.
Authorities have linked its production to the Sinaloa Cartel, run by El Chapo’s sons, who are exploiting its rising demand in the U.S., U.K., and even European party hotspots. With tragic consequences and a growing presence, experts are sounding the alarm on this deadly trend.
