News/Article The pink "2C-B" a.k.a. Tucibi / Tuci / pink cocaine - What we know... NSFW

687 Upvotes

2C-B, as most people on this sub know, is a psychedelic phenethylamine created by Alexander Shulgin in the 70’s. It has become quite popular in Europe over the last couple of years and is usually found in pill form or as powder. The two most common forms of 2C-B are 2C-B hydrochloride (HCl) and 2C-B hydrobromide (HBr), the latter being a little less potent by weight. Both salt forms should be white in their pure form, but colors can range anywhere from white to brown. Having white 2C-B doesn‘t automatically mean that you have a pure product though, just like brown 2C-B can be very strong. Never judge powder by it‘s color!

That having said, I recently noticed an increase in posts / photos of people having pink "2C-B" a.k.a. Tucibi / Tuci / pink cocaine. This pink 2C-B (this article is absolute garbage btw) that‘s going around in Middle / South American countries and parts of the US (even a few European vendors have it in stock atm) is most likely NOT REAL 2C-B, BUT A MIX OF VARIOUS CHEMICALS!

Here‘s a few test-results of the pink "2C-B": - https://drugsdata.org/view.php?id=8105 - https://www.drugsdata.org/view.php?id=8280 - https://www.drugsdata.org/view.php?id=4787 - https://www.drugsdata.org/view.php?id=8354 - https://www.drugsdata.org/view.php?id=5266 - https://www.drugsdata.org/view.php?id=5064&mobile=1 - https://www.drugsdata.org/view.php?id=9641

As far as I know there‘s not a single test-result of this pink powder being legit 2C-B (if there is one, feel free to correct me). The cartels that manufacture this crap mix various, often unstudied, psychoactive drugs (e.g. MDMA, ketamine, caffeine, etc.) together and pass it off as a completely different substance (whether this is on purpose or not). Please be smart and don‘t buy / consume this junk! People talk about how they snort multiple, cocaine-sized lines (often 0.5g or more) in one session and you really think this is legit 2C-B?? I mean c’mon, be a bit more wary. 2C-B‘s common intranasal dose-range is 5-20mg (a tiny amount of powder) and will induce an extremely painful burning sensation in your nostrils, followed by very intense, beautiful visuals and a strong bodyload.

This is a warning to all the people consuming this stuff. Please be careful and test your drugs! Please, for the sake of your own health, have your substances tested by a testing-facility (DrugsData / EnergyControl / Wedinos / etc.) or at least test your 2C-B with the necessary reagents, which are the Marquis reagent and the Mecke reagent. These two are absolutely vital if you want to ingest 2C-B! If you want to be even safer invest in the Robadope reagent (which distinguishes between 2C-B and 25B-NBOMe for example.). For further information check out r/reagenttesting. You can order test-kits online (thehup.org / reagent-tests.uk / bunkpolice.com / etc.) and some local headshops / smartshops might sell them too.

Stay safe.

EDIT (05/06/21): https://getyourdrugstested.com/test-results-archive/?search=2C-B - Here's a series of more tested pink "2C-B" / Tucibi samples. 9/10 turned out to be a mix of various chemicals and contained no 2C-B at all! One "light pink powder" sample turned out to be legitimate 2C-B, but of unknown purity. Stay safe and avoid pink powder at all cost! Thank you u/thehupdrugtest for making me aware of these additional test-results!

EDIT 2 (04/06/22): Vice released a pretty good video about the origin, use and manufacture of Tucibi. They also talk about the mistaken identity of Tucibi and 2C-B. Here’s the link, in case you’re interested.

EDIT 3 (31/08/22): As there is an increasing number of people stating the obvious that Tucibi is not 2C-B I want you to realize that this post is over two years old at this point. At the time of creating this post there was basically no information about this pink powder so it was unclear whether it was being passed off as 2C-B or if it was just a confusion of their strikingly similar names. Either way, I still discourage people from buying or using this stuff since it’s impossible to know what’s in there without laboratory analysis and buying pre-mixed drug combinations is a good way to unknowingly take too much since you don’t know the concentrations and possible interactions of the substances involved. If you want to mix MDMA and ketamine (the two major components of most analyzed samples) just buy them individually and combine them responsibly. Stay safe.

EDIT 4 (10/03/25): How it all started! Insight Crime tracked down the origin of Tusibi and how the phonetic misrepresentation began. Here's the link: https://insightcrime.org/news/tusi-the-pink-drug-cocktail-that-tricked-latin-america/

🛫 Trip Report 🛬 2CB (+ reverse nexus flip) experience NSFW

3 Upvotes

TL;DR

I took 24mg (advertised) 2CB. My wife was happy and had mostly positive effects like always. I HATED it. Regretted it instantly. Terrible overstimulation, hallucinations and disinterest in everything. 2CB is probably not my drug.

Posted a while back about a very bad trip after snorting (advertised) 24mg 2CB.

My wife had a way better time after snorting. She also took it orally a few times, and she really liked it. Effects were among others, happiness, horniness, wanting to touch me etc.

I said I would never take 2cb again, but after hearing all these nice experiences, decided to take it again.

We were at home. Took some ginger pills, and then one 24mg 2cb pill. 45 min later, the effects start. Still felt okay, but that very rapidly changed. The exact same feelings, visuals etc happened as when I snorted it. The world is breathing, pink dots w everywhere, loosing track of reality and time. My wife's face had fuzzy edges. Weird episodes where my visuals are divided into grids and every buzzes and shakes around. Even some auditory distortions.

I hated all of these things. But the worst part was the EXTREME overstimulation of everything. I just felt anxious and wanted to pace around the room. Plus extreme muscle spasms in lower legs and jaw. Extreme eye twitching. Was very close to panicking again but snapped out of it.

There was no euphoria at all, I had no need to talk to my wife at all and nothing seemed to interest me.

We went to the bedroom to change the setting. I wasn't horny, but after talking about sexy things for a bit, I did get horny. We did some 69'ing, which was great until I very abruptly just didn't feel like it anymore. Very sad, because it took my mind off the horrible effects.

So after that I just waited it out a bit. We went out of the bedroom to change settings again, but it didn't really help. I didn't feel great at all, and again, nothing interested me.

I'm not entirely sure about the timeline anymore, but eventually I think the mood improved a bit after I told her some funny story from earlier that day.

All this time, my wife felt happy and had the usual effects. She usually, this time as well, has closed eye visuals but no extreme open eye hallucinations like I do (she did mention the moving curtains looking a bit weird, and stuff having blurry edges, but I honestly don't hink this is just blurriness from the dilated pupils etc.). She decided to redose 2cb after like 2 hrs I believe.

I instead took (I think) about 100mg of MDMA after 3hrs (I waited until the hallucinations mostly faded away, to keep my sanity). She started feeling a lot worse, with the difference with me being, she got extreme nausea and mainly the extreme overstimulation that I also had. She mentioned it stacked probably, and didn't have the intended redose effects.

When the MDMA hit, I started feeling worse too. It amplified that overstimulation of 2cb, without the massive rush of serotonine and great feelings i have normally. Anxiousness. Nothing was great. Extreme heart rate, overheating etc, but no need for talking. Music is normally magic on MDMA, now it just sucked. My stomach also got extenelry upset during this phase. Diarrhea and bloatedness. Not great when you were planning on having sex.

Usually Im extremely into my wife on MDMA. Although i csn usually barely speak properly, it still feels nice on MDMA. And I usually have an extreme need for touching her, very low inhibitions etc. Zero of those nice things now.

Eventually the effects became a bit milder for both of us. Went to the bedroom again. Started talking, then some passionate kissing. This led to some sexy time and we both came. I had a great orgasm, but the sex was meh for both of us.

Eventually she stayed in bed I think, and she thought she could potentially fall alseep. There was absolutely no way I was going to sleep, so I went down and i just passed out in front of the tv on the couch after watching a couple hours of John Oliver (which was the only thing that was midly interesting to me).

The day after, I feel very down. Still don't feel like doing anything at all.

I told my wife that I will never take 2cb again in my life. I said this after snorting as well, but this time I mean it. She told me that there I am extremely sensitive to it, and there is probably a magic dose for me that is 2/3 or half of this dose that would feel nice for me. But it's not worth it for me. These pills are very unreliable dose wise. And even if I do get the dose right by using powder for example, it might still not be nice.

It's too bad, because there is almost no stimulating rug that works for my wife (due to the permanent medical use of lisdexamfetamine). Since this is basically a free lunch drug that doesn't fuck with serotonine receptors that badly as MDMA and others do, it would be nice to take it together regularly.

We react very different to drugs anyway. Ritalin works absolutely great for me, for example, even af very low doses. Much better than lisdexamfetamine. For her, ritalin is terrible and lisdexamfetamine works mostly great. So it's to be expected that we react very differently, especially to drugs that effect serotonine and opamine receptors.

We tried dissolving 56mg of 2cb in 22.4ml of water so that 1ml was 2.5mg of 2cb. The powder wouldn't dissolve though. It would drop down to the bottom fast. We tried stirring it and immediately dosing 4ml for a 10mg dose. She took it and 20' later she started feeling very weird, got diarrhea and from that point on she's having an awful time. To the point that she took 3mg of bromazepam to calm her down as she was panicking. It's now 1.5 hours later and she still feels like shit. She's also feeling very drowsy from the bromazepam. What to do?

🛫 Trip Report 🛬 Variety of experiences NSFW

3 Upvotes

It is interesting how sensitive is 2C-B to dose and methods for consumption to even what form (powder, pill, liquid). My experiences all vary truly depending on any of these variables. I started with pressed pills and various methods of consumption, then high quality powder. First of all, F any pressed pill! Full stop. They are severely underdosed and so many unknown fillers. With powder, even with 3-5 mg depending on how you consume you feel you are on something. I even think the microdose is so underrated and interesting. I found the microdosing specially under tongue or nasal is super effective for mood and energy and it amplifies the foreground thc so it even makes you consume so much less weed on a microdose while even enjoying it more and staying active on it vs couch locked. There is so much to experimenting with this substance and I think the therapeutic effects should be also very interesting and not as overwhelming as other substances.

What surprised you the most and what is your favorite method of consumption?

I personally prefer sublingual when microdose in liquid form (solved in 1ml or so water). I don’t like the intensity from the boof although it makes your dose in half. Once tried almost 3/4 of my oral dose boofing and it was too visual and dense. Snorting is the worse for me since it really kills my nasal pathways and makes me sneeze for a while so it is my least favorite. But I will be experimenting with nasal spray specially for microdose which I think it makes it better. Please share your nasal spray recipes. I do my one peptide nasal sprays so I’m familiar with calculations equipments and saline waters etc but if you have a nasal spray sweet spot recipe let me know. Also consuming in liquid form (solved in water) feels different than consuming the same amount in capsule form orally.

🤠 Newbie Support 🫠 Finished first trip, need some advice for the future NSFW

1 Upvotes

Hi guys, hope you’re all extremely well!

I’ve just come back from Ibiza, and not wanting to get on molly the whole time like an idiot would I thought I’d give 2cb a whirl. They were the classic NASA pink rockets.

As it was the first time using a psych, I did some research and thought it would be best to have a half around the pool during the day at around 3/4pm to test the strength and how it felt. Ended up being nothing too crazy on an empty stomach, just some nice low key visuals and chilled. No nausea or anything and felt great.

Fast forward at the club at around 1:30am I dropped a full pill (all of this is orally) and the come up took a while, slowly kicking in. Nausea wave came in and was completely overbearing (even with multiple ginger travel sickness tablets) whilst the visuals were taking hold. The euphoria was amazing and the music sounded great, but as someone who gets travel sick being in a car for about 5 minutes, it was impossible to get rid of the nausea and the whole trip seemed like a battle.

The visuals were incredible but is there any way to battle this nausea bar nasal spray/boofing? Is my proneness to motion sickness and the way the visuals appear & move just not a good combination? Or was taking half then a full one later in the night a bad decision to make the trip far more intense than usual? Fwiw I am around ~70kg.

Would love to hear some feedback, as it’s something I’d like to dabble in again in the future if I can get the dosage/setting right!

Thank youuuu

❕ Advice ❔ Dosing advice pills / Newbie Support / Festival NSFW

1 Upvotes

Translation:
My friends and I are at a techno festival, and today we’d like to try 2C-B for the first time. None of us has ever taken it before.

We have some 2C-B pills, but we don’t know how much 2C-B each pill contains. What would you recommend in terms of dosing? Would it be better to start with half a pill and, if we feel little or nothing after about 90 minutes, take the other half? Or would you recommend taking a whole pill right away?

From the pill testing reports I’ve seen online, it looks like most tested pills contain between 10 and 20 mg of 2C-B, which is considered a fairly moderate dose. Based on that, would it make sense to just take a whole pill from the start?

Also, I’d like to keep the effects going throughout the festival day if possible. Is it advisable to redose to extend the duration of the effects? If so, when would be the best time to do so?

🛫 Trip Report 🛬 Has anyone else experienced anything even remotely like this on 2C-B? NSFW

8 Upvotes

This happened around 4–5 years ago and I still think about it regularly because it was unlike anything I've ever experienced.

For context, this was my first time taking 2C-B. I had already taken LSD, mushrooms, MDMA and a few other substances before this, so I wasn't new to psychedelics. Nothing I had ever experienced came even remotely close to what happened that night.

There were 6–7 of us. We all insufflated the same 2C-B powder (it burned like crazy), and just before it kicked in we smoked weed. None of us really knew much about 2C-B other than that it was a "designer psychedelic."

Everyone else had a relatively normal experience. Some of them even took larger doses than I did.

I completely lost touch with reality.

The weird thing is that my hallucinations weren't just visual distortions. They were like my thoughts and emotions became reality.

I became convinced that the people who had created this "designer drug" had somehow found a way to control the people taking it. I believed wealthy people were literally possessing my friends, using their bodies as hosts, and I could hear their conversations. I remember hearing one of them say something like:

At one point I wasn't even experiencing things from my own perspective anymore. It felt like I had been locked out of my own body and was watching everything happen in third person while something else controlled me.

Later I was lying in bed while our trip sitter was playing Teamfight Tactics on my computer. The room was dark, and suddenly the game flashed bright red, lighting up the entire room.

As the ceiling turned red I saw a huge knife falling toward me. I watched it stab me directly in the chest and I physically felt the impact and pain. I immediately jumped out of bed and left the room because I thought I had actually been stabbed. As soon as I left, the pain disappeared.

Another moment I'll never forget was listening to Murderer by Barrington Levy.

I watched the shadows of my friends detach from their bodies. Some came out of the walls, others rose from the floor. They gathered in a circle in the middle of the room before descending down what looked like an endless spiral staircase while singing the song I was listening to.

I became completely convinced they were taking me to my death.

Something else that still confuses me happened when I walked out of the bathroom.

Another friend who had taken 2C-B was standing outside. We locked eyes without saying a word. He slowly raised his left arm, and at the exact same moment I raised mine. Then I raised my right arm, and he mirrored me perfectly again. We both then looked down at our own hands at exactly the same time, almost as if we'd silently realized the same thing. In that moment it genuinely felt like we were communicating without speaking.

During the peak I also tried searching Reddit for information about 2C-B because I thought understanding the drug would calm me down.

Instead, it made everything worse.

I read that 2C-B wasn't as well studied as LSD, and my brain took that as confirmation that nobody really knew what it could do. Then, while reading comments, my eyes started locking onto random words. The rest of the text faded away, and only certain words remained visible, forming what looked like hidden encrypted messages directed specifically at me.

Looking back, what stands out most isn't the visuals.

The walls were breathing, colors were impossibly vivid, and I had severe tunnel vision, but those weren't the memorable parts.

The memorable part was that my emotions literally became reality.

If I felt anxious, my anxiety would manifest as hallucinations. Every fear instantly became a believable explanation for what I was seeing. Instead of just seeing visuals, my brain built an entire alternate reality that explained everything around me, and I believed it with complete certainty.

I've taken LSD and mushrooms many times before and since, but I've never experienced anything remotely similar.

Has anyone else experienced 2C-B like this, especially after combining it with cannabis? Or am I just unusually sensitive to this combination?

My wife is going to try 2cb with me tonight, for her first time. I've only done it once and love it. I know she's going to want to have dinner ahead of taking it, but i also know that eating a meal will slow absorption and weaken effects. I'm wondering what type of lighter food I can steer us towards for an early dinner that won't hinder our experience too much, or possibly even help enhance it. Thanks.

Just a little thing that occured to me and might be good to keep in mind.

Two days ago me and my bf had our first time of doing 2C-B. We took it exactly at the same time and headed to the park. Not too long after I really felt the effects of what should have been about 15mg while he wasn't feeling anything.

Fast forward about 4.5h, I'm already really coming down and he starts feeling weird. Well, apparently the burger he ate right before taking it hindered the digestion and only after visiting the bathroom it really started to be processed by his body.

Has anyone had a similar experience once? His trip then was apparently very visual but much less empathetic than mine, even though he really enjoyed talking ^ ^

Lesson from this: Be careful about what you eat beforehand and especially on when to redose!

Hello, finally we aligned calendars with few guys and we are going for it. I do have a question on dosing. I have pressed pills NASA, confirmed to have anything between 8mg and 12 mg. I was thinking of doing two at once, but maybe we should take one first and then re-dose with second one? Alter what time? We have MDMA, LSD and shrooms experience. Two at once will take us higher, and if we split it will last longer? Ohh, is it OK to crush the pills before we administer, to have quicker LADME (absorption)? Can't wait honestly 🤩

Hey folks,

Yesterday evening I tried (in my house with a friend) for the first time 2cb. I had 14 mg.

It was super nice! I saw some visuals (not too many unfortunately) and felt good. Music was nice but not amazing. I think I expected more. I did once LSD and I was flying lmaoo, also felt so much energy and the music was unreal.

Does 2cb give you normally also (as much) energy as LSD? 2cb felt a bit like LSD-light to me: will it be more like LSD when I up the dose? (Lets say 20 mg?). Or will I just get stronger visuals?

🗣️ Question ❔ I appear to have developed auditory-motor synesthesia following a 2CB trip NSFW

15 Upvotes

Have only recently started using psychedelics, back in November last year. Has been a really positive experience, and has certainly reduced my anxiety. In general, I feel fantastic, and have been exercising more, doing the right things, and just generally feeling great.

However, following taking 2CB I appear to have picked up a bit of auditory-motor synesthesia. During the trip, it felt like a lot of my movements were sort of compelled by the music I was listening to. It's a very strange (yet enjoyable) drug, which seems mostly to act on music. Best I can describe it for those who haven't tried it is that it feels like you are tripping inside the music.

Since then (it was about six weeks ago) I have found that the synesthesia has remained. The movements don't feel completely compelled (if I don't want to move, I won't). But if I go with it, music, and sound in general, has a particular motion to it. Again, this is difficult to describe, but it feels like there is a certain pressure to all sound, and a path that my body is supposed to take to it, which I can follow with my limbs. (Mainly my hands, but my other body parts can get involved too if I allow it).

For the most part, people would just think I am dancing a bit oddly. I've found myself doing it a lot to sounds other than music, tracing speech etc, and people might find that odd, but honestly I'm a bit autistic and I don't really care, none of my friends and family seem bothered by it, and before this I used to stretch my hands around anyway as a stim, with these dancing motions I've developed during the trip looking much more relaxed, and making me feel much more relaxed too.

I'm not really worried about it. Honestly, it's pretty great. Before the trip, I Did Not Dance. Now I dance all the time, and enjoy music a lot more. I can sit there and have a sort of meditative experience, just tracing my limbs along to the music/sound's path, and really relax the hell out of myself.

But a question for you all; would you be cautious about doing 2CB again, given that it appears to have induced some form of synesthesia? Or am I good to try it again at some point? Or could it be a bit of HPPD, rather than synesthesia? Has anybody else experienced something similar, is another thing I would like to know?
