00:00We are talking about different occasions of situations that are dubious deaths, that look like suicides.
00:07In the last years, especially in the last two years, in different judicial files, a pink substance appears,
00:14which was fashionable at electronic parties for several years.
00:21But this substance seems to have spilled from the parties.
00:25It has been found in the collection areas of the canitas of Palermo, kitchens of this pink drug,
00:33which attracts so much attention and which grows in our country.
00:36Look at this report.
00:38Cardiac attacks, hypertension and cerebrovascular accidents.
00:46The serious consequences of the forbidden substance of fashion are practically unknown to consumers and relatives.
01:02November 22.
01:04The police arrive in the neighborhood of Carlos Gardel in Morón to arrest a 15-year-old boy who was involved in the theft of automobiles.
01:12The innocent criminal carries on his back two homicides on the occasion of theft.
01:20The detainee was participating in a party.
01:23In the apartment, several bags with a pink powder appear inside.
01:30March 30.
01:35Nineteen months earlier, on the morning of March 30, 2023,
01:40Emily Rodríguez ends up dead in the courtyard of a collection building.
01:46Along with the businessman Francisco Seisvaliente and a Brazilian doctor, she consumes a drug unknown to most.
01:54A pink powder identified as Tuzi by drug traffickers and consumers.
02:00The girl did not even have a reflex reaction to avoid the impact with her hands.
02:12Doctor, in different police files and operatives, a pink substance begins to appear in the procedures,
02:22which is called Tuzi or pink cocaine. What is it about?
02:25Pink cocaine is originally a derivative of phenylalanine, which is a stimulant.
02:31And the English name is Tuzi because of its chemical name.
02:35And that's why it's known here as Tuzi, the 2 and the C, with a name that ends in phenylalanine.
02:42Here, pink cocaine is a substance that we've been seeing for about ten years.
02:48And it has nothing to do with that Tuzi, but it has to do with the combination of two substances.
02:53And it has nothing to do with cocaine. It's called cocaine because it's aspirated.
02:57It's a powder that is aspirated because it's water-soluble and enters through the nose.
03:01And it's pink because it has a pink colorant.
03:03But normally it's a derivative of methamphetamine, similar to ecstasy, or in some cases it's ecstasy,
03:10with the addition of a hallucinogen.
03:13It's the sum of two substances, one stimulant and the other dissociative or hallucinogenic.
03:24In September 2024, a raid in Las Canitas leaves the discovery that a band
03:29makes the pink substance in a homemade laboratory set up in an apartment.
03:34On October 16, 2024, the former leader of One Direction, Liam Payne,
03:40also throws himself into the void, practically unconscious and unable to react.
03:46In his autopsy, and in the hotel room in Palermo,
03:49remains of Tuzi were found, and investigators suspect that it was the key to his death.
03:56In both cases, it is very similar to induced psychosis or a fatal agitated delirium.
04:04They are extreme situations where it is not clear that the person wants to commit suicide,
04:09but ultimately ends his life.
04:12Situations that seem like accidents, in both cases, falling into the void.
04:16Now, in neither of the two cases, these people supported their hands when falling,
04:21which is a reflex of the human being.
04:23Exactly, but that has to do with the loss of contact with reality.
04:28A person who is dissociated from reality, who is chemically dissociated,
04:34does not realize that he is falling.
04:36Then he does not protect himself because he does not realize that there is something to protect himself.
04:40Tuzi, Tuzi-V or pink cocaine, first of all, does not contain cocaine.
04:46Its name is the deformation of a component called 2C-B,
04:52synthesized in the United States by biochemist Alexander Shulgin in 1974.
04:58The original 2C-B had the appearance of a crystal.
05:03Euphoric and psychedelic effects.
05:06It is increasingly frequent.
05:08Ten years ago we started to see it and it was like this sporadic.
05:12It is a dangerous substance because it has a very powerful stimulant.
05:16It happens to us that in some patients it is more the predisposition of the hallucinogen,
05:20then the patient comes absolutely out of reality,
05:24with a picture of stimulation or psychomotor agitation,
05:27but with a picture of a lot of dissociation.
05:30He has no idea where he is, or who he is, or with whom he is.
05:33Then it is a much more difficult patient to address.
05:37But in the last time, we could say in the last two years,
05:41the association is more frequent every day.
05:44And this picture worsens much more when the person consumes it along with alcohol.
05:49That is, the association of alcohol with pink cocaine and or cocaine,
05:55gives us very, very serious pictures that can be of induced psychosis.
06:00We have had some resonant cases that make us think about this association.
06:04Or what doctors also call fatal agitated delirium,
06:09which are pictures of extreme agitation, disorientation and loss of contact with reality,
06:16which puts the life of the person at risk.
06:18Not only in some cases, physically, due to the direct effect of the substance,
06:22but because in some cases he loses his life due to an accident,
06:25which may seem like a suicide, but there was no intention in reality,
06:29but that dissociation means that he cannot assess neither risks nor dangers.
06:34The pink drug first appeared in Colombia in 2010.
06:38Then it began to be detected in various encroachments in the United States and Europe.
06:45Well, there we showed you this pink powder that appears in different situations of violent deaths.
06:52You told me it was a drug used for the truth.
06:55Yes, it was created in the United States as torture and for interrogations.
07:01Understanding that the drug is not cocaine, even if it is called pink cocaine,
07:06it is a mixture of ketamine, methamphetamine and MDMA.
07:10But something important.
07:12We are seeing in the clinic of addictions, in the clinics,
07:17many teenagers with psychotic outbreaks as a result of marijuana consumption,
07:22of THC.
07:24By vaping?
07:26By vaping or directly by marijuana?
07:28By vaping.
07:29Because the other is synthetic, right?
07:31Yes, by vaping and by smoked marijuana.
07:33Because marijuana is induced today with a THC higher than it has ever had historically,
07:38almost 32%.
07:40So, depending on what happened in Hudson,
07:42for parents to understand that there are four possible paths for the consumption of substances.
07:48The police station, the psychiatric hospital, the cemetery or a rehabilitation center.
07:54Our brain does not care about subjectivity.
07:57Our brain is hacked by consumption and the will is disarmed.
08:02Issues of mental health and addiction, it is urgent to review the law.
08:06There is an absolute abandonment in our population with respect to treatment.
08:10Yes, in fact, they are closing the Buenaparte too, the Ex-Senareso.
08:13It's been 38 years since we have had public prevention campaigns.
08:17The last one was this one, it was criticized, right?
08:19Male y Fleco?
08:21It's been 38 years.
