SRMT and MCA Issue Joint Public Health Advisory on Drug “2C”

AKWESASNE — (Ohiarihkó:wa/July 24, 2026) The Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe (SRMT) and the Mohawk Council of Akwesasne (MCA) are issuing a joint health advisory to inform and educate Akwesasne about the emerging risks associated with the drug "2C" or Tusi, also known as "pink co***ne," and related synthetic compounds such as 2C-B.

Tusi has recently gained popularity and is misleadingly marketed as "pink co***ne." It rarely contains actual co***ne and is typically a blend of different substances, including ketamine and M**A, which can lead to unpredictable and potentially dangerous effects. 2C-B is a synthetic psychedelic that can also have stimulant properties. Though it may be less common than other substances, it has been increasingly noted in our community and poses significant health risks.

The use of Tusi and 2C compounds can lead to severe health consequences, including dizziness, vomiting, agitation, changes in perception, and risks of blackouts or loss of consciousness. The unpredictable nature of these substances means that users may unknowingly consume dangerous mixes of drugs, including those that can lead to overdose or serious medical emergencies.

We urge all community members to exercise caution and stay informed. If you or someone you know is struggling with substance use, please reach out to the SRMT Health Services (518) 358-3141 and the MCA Mental Health and Wellness Services (613) 575-2341 for guidance and assistance.

Together, we can create a safer, healthier environment for our community. Please share this information with your friends and family, so they may be aware of the side effects and dangers of pink co***ne and 2C-B compounds.
