This week on The Tox Lab, we’re talking about 2C-B and “Tusi” — two drugs often confused, but very different in composition and effects.

We explore Dutch Poison Information Centre data on 2C-B, examining reported exposures and the spectrum of effects across low, moderate, and high doses. We then turn to casework from the Miami-Dade Medical Examiner Toxicology Laboratory to look at “Tusi” (also known as Tucibi or pink cocaine), discussing what’s actually found in these samples and what this means for interpretation.

Join us as we untangle the realities behind these two commonly misunderstood substances.

Hope you enjoy!
