Sizzurp or lean is a cough syrup that one mixes with sprite or any other type of soft drink like mountain dew. It is usually purple and people put jolly ranchers in to make it sweeter. The amount of codeine put into the sprite can affect the color, the more codeine means more purple or muddy. The usual amount of codeine in a sprite is 8 ounces, which is relatively muddy. It usually looks purple. The more one drinks, the higher they get. If someone takes this drug as prescribed it is just taken like a regular cough syrup.

History of Codeine

The history of codeine is very intricate. According to Narconon International, In 1804, a German pharmacist discovered how to isolate morphine from opium, which gave rise to the discovery in 1832 of codeine by Pierre Robiquet, a French chemist. The name, “codeine” comes from the Greek word that refers to the head of the poppy plant. Since then codeine has been used in many pharmaceutical drugs but mainly cough syrup. It has a medical use of treating a bad cough, but it has been abused for people seeking to reach a high.
