FYI I received this info from one of our detectives. This drink is increasing in popularity with some my "urban youths" since the Zimmerman case has concluded.
For those who are interested, here is some information on “lean” drink that is becoming more popular.
Some basic ingredients are;
A soft drink. The original recipe calls for “Sprite” but typically any flavored drink such as “Koolaid”, “Arizona tea” , “Snapple” etc.
Prescription Cough Syrup that uses codeine with promethazine syrup. Promethazine offers zero narcotic (euphoric) qualities, as it is primarily used as an anti-nausea. . It is the Codeine in the cough syrup which gives you the high and euphoric feeling. Codeine is a Opiate which slows the body and mind down all while feeling carefree and happy from the euphoric properties of it. The original recipe calls for prescription cough syrup. Robitussin is becoming a more common ingredient used to make “Lean”. The over-the-counter cough syrup contains the drug DXM. DXM is an abbreviation for the cough suppressant Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide — which is the active ingredient in Robitussin. DXM causes physical and psychological effects that may be frightening or unpleasant… Psychological effects can include profound disorientation, depression, a feeling of personal disintegration, or a feeling of “unreality” and disconnection .
Flavored candy. “Jolly Ranchers”, “Life Savers”, “Skittles”. Ect.
I found the below information on what the attraction is to “Lean” from an apparent user.
In answer to the question “What’s the DXM Trip Like” the author says:
“Well, that depends on how much you take. There are four different kinds of experiences, based on the dosage; these are called plateaus.
The first plateau is a mild stimulant effect with a little bit of a buzz, and has been compared to MDA .
The second plateau is more intoxicating and has been compared to being drunk and stoned at the same time.
The third plateau is dissociative, like a lower dose of ketamine.
The fourth plateau is fully dissociative like a higher dose of ketamine.
You should not [emphasis original!] attempt higher plateau doses unless you have someone with you who can take care of you in case you get sick or freak out. It happens on DXM.”
YouTube.com has a lot of videos on making the “Lean” if you’re interested.
