it probably was mostly or only ketamine then. it's very likely to primarily be a trend of dying snortable synthetic drugs pink, with the active ingredients in the powder varying just as widely as with white snortable powders, because it's not all produced by the same people and even if people wanted to copy the stuff faithfully, it's likely that the big producers are keeping their specific recipes secret to make their particular stuff seem more special by having somewhat distinct effects. it helps with branding. there also will be many small fry imitators who have no clue what's supposed to be in it and just dye any mixture or any individual snortable drug pink to sell it for more money as exotic "tucibi, more expensive than cocaine". really, in terms of what's in it, the only possible real change here is the more complete move away from dealers telling and consumers knowing what's in it, since they're blatantly calling it a name that everybody knows is not what it is - partially because 2C-B is swallowed, not snorted, and partially because it's an upper-like more party friendly psychedelic, not a slightly psychedelic party upper. though of course with amphetamine drugs sold as "speed" or "pep", and to a slightly lesser degree with "ecstasy", it's long been common that the contents are very unclear.

William Tobin you didn't ask me, but reagent testing for drugs is commonly done by more careful drug users to try to reduce the likelihood of taking other drugs than what they thought they bought. there are all sorts of kits made for drug testing that you can buy that contain small amounts of chemical reagents, typically liquids or I think also test strips, which contain very specific chemicals that react with specific drugs or substance groups that various drugs belong to and change colours when mixed with those particular drugs. if you want to be super thorough with several reagents and you're lucky, you may be able to identify that the product you bought contains the drug you wanted, and does not contain a dozen or so other drugs that would have shown reactions with the reagents you used. it's basically the same principle as a covid or pregnancy test, but for specific drugs. the most common and useful test nowadays is probably for fentanyl, because that stuff and its analogues are showing up in everything due to its cheap price, strong uplifting effect, very high addictiveness and extremely high potency that makes it possible to hide it in absolutely anything, even LSD blotters or microdots (odd choice but possible). its extreme potency and central nervous system depressant effect as an opioid, which makes it cause people to pass out and then just stop breathing when overdosed, is making it the deadliest drug these days. the biggest danger is when crackheads like the one in the video mix drugs with crude methods like that, because if you add pure or highly potent fentanyl to that mix , it's very likely that you'll end up with tiny clumps of it (the size of a salt or sugar grain is sufficient) that are big enough to overdose on one bump or one pill or even a little piece of a pill that contains the clump, making the product impossible to dose safely due to its highly uneven potency.

amphetamines, fentanyl, ketamine and LSD, and the price is higher than cocaine? bloody ridiculous. I know cocaine is cheap in colombia, but still. and the fact that they call a random drug cocktail 2C-B is just super shady.
I think they probably originally did it to actually pass it off as 2C-B, because it sounds like it somewhat immitates the effects of 2C-B (not too well). I haven't tried 2C-B, but I've tried 2C-B-fly (an analogue that used to be widely legal), and it was my favourite psychedelic, since I'm really too anxious/depressive for psychedelics and that stuff was much less unnerving and ego-deathy. my least favourite in that sense are tryptamines including shrooms, which is why I'm also quite sceptical about people advicating for DMT as the best drug. 2C-B and its analogues definitely are, besides MDMA, 5-MAPB and the like if you want to count them, the most suitable psychedelics for partying.

spaceishigh well, if you find xanax that's in an appropriate sealed pill bottle or better yet those plastic-aluminium foil blister pill sheets, it's unlikely to be fake. I think it's probably very rare for black market producers to have the supplies and machines necessary to make that. though I guess what's still relatively possible is that some shady factory in china makes plastic pill bottles with the proper printing and sells them open and empty (I think a lot of them are made to be easily closed once, and then to open them again you have to break the seal). but those would be highly troublesome to smuggle as they're very bulky, not worth that much, and extremely suspicious to any customs officer. the benefit of the extremely potent RC drugs, which I think are probably still being primarily produced in china, though now much less legally than 10 years ago, is that you can hide them in anything (traditional smuggling methods for example for far less potent and thus not even as easy to smuggle cocaine include for example dissolving very large amounts of it in a liquid masquerading as some inconspicuous product), and you're smuggling incredibly large amounts of value with little effort. you can make an almost unlimited amount of fake xanax bars from only 100g of smuggled material and otherwise freely available supplies with a freely available cheap pill press. making a convincing packaging would take far more effort than making the product itself, and would be difficult to monetize by charging proportionally many times the price of the loose pills, so it's probably extremely uncommon.
