Lean is an addictive combination of cough syrup and soft drinks that is increasingly becoming a recreational drug of choice, due to the presence of codeine as an opioid and promethazine as a sedating medication.
Popularity of this drink has been fuelled by its widespread acceptance within pop culture, especially by rappers and hip hop artists who glorify its use without emphasizing any risks associated with its misuse. Unfortunately, such celebrities may fail to disclose risks related to misusing cannabis products.
Lean is a combination of cough syrup or codeine pills, hard candy, soda and alcohol commonly known as sizzurp, purple drank or dirty sprite that often leaves users leaning to one side after indulging. This drink earned its moniker from how people tend to lean against something after consuming it.
Lean is composed of various ingredients, depending on its intended recipe; most common are over-the-counter cough syrup containing codeine and antihistamines such as promethazine; this combination may then be enhanced further with alcohol to make the medication both potency and palatability.
Codeine is an opioid drug with potential for addiction at higher doses. It binds to opioid receptors in the brain and spinal cord to produce feelings of euphoria and pain relief.
Drug use became widely popular among young people during the 1990s after rappers and hip hop artists popularized it through music videos and songs. Some believe these celebrities may have given their fans false sense of security by emphasizing its party use without emphasizing its potential hazards.
Lean is a management philosophy designed to help companies reduce waste. The first step in Lean implementation is identifying where waste occurs in processes using tools like value stream mapping. Once identified, companies can eliminate it through improving processes and prioritizing customer value creation.
Lean can also boost employee satisfaction. This is because its management approach fosters open dialogue and respect among staff, and encourages continuous improvement through learning from mistakes - creating a better workplace environment and increased productivity.
Lean can also enhance construction quality control practices by eliminating waste and meeting customer specifications in full. Lean helps lower materials and labor costs by cutting time spent on non-value-adding activities that don't add any tangible benefit. It can reduce project timelines as well as lead to faster delivery times for customers.
Promethazine and codeine in combination can create a sedative effect, producing feelings of drowsiness, relaxation, and euphoria in users. But too much may cause serious side effects including agitation, insomnia, muscle pains and vomiting; too much could even suppress breathing to such low levels as to lead to life-threatening complications.
Lean is made with cough syrup and can therefore be easily abused by individuals who are addicted to codeine, making it hard for users to kick the habit without professional assistance as tolerance and dependence quickly develops within their bodies; users constantly search for more in order to achieve that high feeling.
Hip-hop culture and music industries have helped foster an increase in lean consumption by young people, particularly teens and younger adults. Unfortunately, this may expose them to substances with potential addictive qualities; fortunately, help is available for anyone struggling with an addiction or codeine abuse issues.
People have long misused codeine, one of the main ingredients in lean, but its misuse now seems especially prevalent. Rappers and celebrities alike have spoken openly about their addiction to this drink made of prescription cough syrup mixed with soda or hard candy; its consumption can cause an instantaneous high, yet is potentially lethal: its suppression of breathing could lead to fatal overdose.
Lean is a combination of prescription cough syrup containing opioid painkiller codeine and promethazine antihistamine, carbonated beverages, and hard candy that is often consumed together for recreational purposes. While its contents can bring comfort or euphoria, overusing this substance may result in dependency leading to addiction.
If you or someone close to you is abusing marijuana, seeking professional help is highly advised. Without support it may be impossible to overcome its combination of euphoria, tolerance, and physical dependence.
