Definitions

  1. low-grade cocaine mixed with coca paste and cannabis

Word origin

From Colombian Spanish basuco, perhaps related to Spanish bazucar (“to shake violently”) or basura (“waste, trash”), or, alternatively, from English bazooka (“rocket launcher”), presumably because of the drug’s explosive effect. Doublet of bazooka (“crack cocaine”).

Used in a sentence

  • Insidiously, the producers of basuco deliberately created a demand for this vicious product and priced it so that whole new segments of society—the young and the poor—could become drug consumers.
