The dealers in Son Banya have been diversifying. Viagra and Kamagra are for sale, as is pink cocaine, also known as tucibi. The police say that as far as the marketing of drugs is concerned, it is a "masterful move". Male users of drugs going out partying can obtain a "complete pack".
Sales activity is said to be back to what it was prior to the pandemic. At weekends, there are queues of cars entering the shanty town. The dealers are younger and have diversified. There is competition from other centres in the city, such as Corea and Son Gotleu.
Pink cocaine is not a new drug. It was first synthesised in 1974 and banned in the USA twenty years later. Other countries followed suit. More expensive than cocaine, it belongs to the amphetamine family. It causes an immense high but also hallucination and is said to have a terrible impact on mental health. Anxiety and heart attacks are not unknown.
The Viagra being sold on a massive scale in Son Banya is acquired on the internet, usually from eastern European countries. Each pill is sold for around three euros, much lower than it would cost at a pharmacy; Viagra is only available on prescription.

In Manacor on the weekend Was a Nice accident involving 2 people who were out of control and crashed a BMW under the influence of DRUGS , This is a Problem which will not disappear and I give credit as Zoltan has said that they started to do something but they have to Finish the Job , The entire activity surrounding this has to be stopped .
At least this administration is doing something about Son Banya unlike the PP who were quite happy just to pretend the Franco era ghetto didn't exist.
And the police and government are doing what about this. How about stopping every car and search and arrest them as they would in any sensible country.
Drugs are a Bad thing for society in general and this particular community has caused significant problems in the community of Palma and the outside area Alcudia as well as other areas these little red pills are very dangerous and if you are found to be distributing them in Asia you can be sentenced to Death so if this government in Mallorca is doing such a GREAT JOB why is it that this situation can not be cleaned up and done away with these people have been living for free in Palma for a LONG TIME : Turn a Blind eye Francine !
