BOSTON - Pink cocaine has reportedly made its way to the Boston area, federal investigators told WBZ-TV's I-Team.

The new club drug, also known as tusi or tuci, is typically found in cities like New York, Miami, and Los Angeles, according to the Drug Enforcement Administration.

"Pink cocaine is a synthetic drug. Testing to date has shown concoctions containing ketamine to methamphetamine to methylenedioxymethamphetamine, which is also known as MDMA and or Molly, all really serious, hard-core drugs that could result in death," said David Lanzoni, the assistant Special Agent in Charge of the DEA's New England field division.
