2C-B (Tucibí, Pink Cocaine) and Ketamine Therapy | Tovani Health
Tucibí (2C-B) (also: Tusi, Pink Cocaine) — Phenethylamine psychedelic (DEA Schedule I)
Verdict at Tovani Health
Federally illegal; shorter-acting psychedelic but same framework as LSD.
2C-B is a DEA Schedule I controlled substance. Shorter duration than LSD (~4-6 hours active) and at lower doses can have more of a stimulant + mild psychedelic profile. The branded street product 'tusi' or 'pink cocaine' is frequently misidentified — laboratory analysis often shows ketamine, MDMA, or other mixtures rather than actual 2C-B. We do not run ketamine sessions in proximity to 2C-B use. The mixing-up-with-other-drugs problem makes recent disclosure especially important.
If you take Tucibí regularly and are considering at-home ketamine therapy, the combination is depends on your specific situation. This page covers the brief pharmacologic context and what we do at intake.
How Tucibí interacts with ketamine
2C-B agonizes 5-HT2A and 5-HT2C receptors. Shorter duration than LSD. The 'pink cocaine' street name causes real confusion — analytical testing in multiple jurisdictions has shown these products often contain ketamine, MDMA, or both, not actual 2C-B.
What we do at intake
Disclose any recent use, including products sold as 'tusi' or 'pink cocaine' since those may actually be MDMA + ketamine. We ask for at least 2 weeks of abstinence given the contamination risk.
Bottom line
2C-B is a DEA Schedule I controlled substance. Shorter duration than LSD (~4-6 hours active) and at lower doses can have more of a stimulant + mild psychedelic profile. The branded street product 'tusi' or 'pink cocaine' is frequently misidentified — laboratory analysis often shows ketamine, MDMA, or other mixtures rather than actual 2C-B. We do not run ketamine sessions in proximity to 2C-B use. The mixing-up-with-other-drugs problem makes recent disclosure especially important.
