A new, pink-tinged drug that resembles cocaine has reportedly made its way to New York City.
Stunning video showed someone using the concoction as a topping on a vanilla ice cream cone, adding that it may be sold by migrant gangs across the Big Apple.
The drug is known as 'tuci' or 'tusi' or 'Pantera Rosa' but most commonly referred to as 'pink cocaine,' though it does not always contain any actual coke. It originated from Colombia.
Tuci is a bright pink synthetic drug powder containing a mixture of cheaper substances like ketamine, MDMA, caffeine and sometimes cocaine.
While the drug is fairly new, it was a major part of both a massive military drug bust and one of the biggest stories of 2024.

A few weeks ago, the NYPD reported a new drug called Tucci being sold by some migrant gang members.
Tucci resembles pink cocaine and is rumored to be a mix of cocaine and ecstasy.

As more details are unveiled about Sean 'Diddy' Combs's sex-trafficking investigation, Diddy's on-off girlfriend Yung Miami 'transported pink cocaine for him,' court documents have alleged.
Yung Miami, also known as Caresha Romeka Brownlee, was a member of the Diddy-backed group City Girls.
Combs and Yung Miami were first rumored to be dating in 2021 and the pair confirmed they were dating in a June 2022 'Caresha Please' episode.
The lawsuit claims that in April 2023 Yung Miami brought the pink drug on a private jet from Miami to the Water Music Festival in Virginia because 'Sean Combs wanted tuci but Brendan forgot it.'
'Plaintiff and the Combs Rico Enterprise were rehearsing for 'Something in the Westival.' in Virginia,' the court filing reads.
'Plaintiff Jones personally witnessed Mr. Combs do a few lines of coke in his dressing room. Defendant Sean Combs wanted tuci but Brendan forgot it, so Defendant Kristina Khorram called Yung Miami. Who then brought it on the private jet from Miami.'
In March, the drug was spotted among other contraband in a $468 million bust by the United States Coast Guard off the coasts of Mexico and Central and South America.
Pink Cocaine has also been spotted in the Bay Area, where a San Jose donut shop owner was arrested in February on suspicion of selling the stuff.

According to the U.S. National Library of Medicine's National Center for Biotechnology Information, 'the majority of tusi samples contain ketamine, often combined with... MDMA, methamphetamine, cocaine, opioids, and/or new psychoactive substances.'
It is considered a luxury drug and a single gram sells for around $100, while regular cocaine usually costs around $60.
While doctors have not noted a rise in overdoses on the new drug, they are warning about the menacing mixture.
Dr Nelson from Santa Clara Valley Medical Center said this combination of substances can be lethal, and people should be aware of its potential impact.
He told FOX KTVU: 'When I read the mixtures in the ingredients of this drug, I'm expecting agitation, hallucinations, psychosis, sort of hyperstimulation.'.
San Jose Police spokeswoman Tanya Hernandez warned the public about this new illegal narcotic.
'San Jose Police Department Metro Unit conducted an investigation in regard to the narcotics that were being manufactured and sold on the 400 block of Blossom Hill Road,' she said.
'We are starting to see it, more cases of it. So, we just wanted the public to be aware that it is out there.'
