DEA: Pink cocaine reported in Hays, Travis and Harris counties
AUSTIN (KXAN) --- According to the Drug Enforcement Administration Houston Division, there's been an increased presence of "pink cocaine" in Texas.
The DEA said the drug, also referred to as 'Tusi,' was reported in Harris, Hays and Travis counties.
The DEA said it is a mixture of several different substances and that, "every batch is different, and a person does not know how their body will react to it each time."
In a press release, the DEA said it is typically a cocktail of drugs instead of one illicit substance.
According to a toxicology report, former One Direction singer Liam Payne reportedly had multiple drugs in his system, including "pink cocaine," when he fatally fell from a hotel balcony in Argentina.
