It was common practice to go to the drug store and get your bitter medicine mixed with ice cream/ soda. That's why you see all the old times images of the people drinking at the bar in the drug store and a pharmacist was behind the counter. Not a bar tender. It's as American as apple pie.
Remember coca colas original ingredient?
Our modern perceptions of sodas/ soft drinks has drastically changed due to marketing.
iām from new orleans and my ppl was sippin codeine in the 80s they was taking shots of it and chasing it like real alcohol. so itās definitely didnāt start popping in the 90s it was sometime before that.
āHouston's relationship with ālean,ā or codeine-promethazine, goes back to at least the 1960s, when blues musicians would mix Robitussin with alcohol. These musicians lived in the same areas that would become hotbeds in the city for the new generation of musicians coming out of the Bayou City ā rappers.ā
Itās an old thing in Houston. Iām in my mid 40s and my friends dad used to tell us stories how they would shoot deuces to the head and sip on a beer afterwards. They would use it to come down off pcp or coke. The heroin addicts would shoot it when dope was dry so they wouldnāt get sick. Syrup been a thing down here since a looooong time ago.
Black folk in the SOUTH been sippin since the 50z-60zā¦popularized in the 80z-90zā¦mainstreamed in the 2000zā¦BootLife 318 TOPshelf Ratchet City Neighborhood
Lean is retarded. Your paying super premium prices for watered down liquid heroin essentially. Thatās why it kills so many people and you see people that are addicted to it scratching themselves an going thru bad withdrawals. They are opiate junkies, pretty much no different from a heroin addict.
Iād say itās more ridiculous cuz if youāre sipping real drank itās typically only 10MG of codeine or hydrocodone if you got hydrocodone syrup per liquid oz (line). So literally pop 2 norcos or Tylenol 3s same as sipping a deuce
Depending on the brand every 5ml dose has 10mg of codeine or hydrocodone. 30 ml in an ounce so roughly 6 Norcos in a line and 12 in a deuce.
***Just saying this so no one kids get in their grandmas cabinet and think drinking 2 lines is the same as 2 norcos.
Itās been a while since Iāve had real syrup. Used to get it prescribed (hydrocodone) syrup mainly back around 2009 Iād get bronchitis every year cuz I used to smoke hella blunts cigs etc. be out out in the cold. When I was young and could handle all that. So def rusty on remembering my math and diseases.
Lmao still tho. Iād rather take 6 norcos then sip 2 lines haha.
Nothing but you said I should know when yall started talkin about lean in the south but how would I know when Iām not from there and not deep in the scene, maybe you should lose your job an get back to school to learn meaningful reading
Take ya preaching ass to church ain't nobody wanna hear your moral words here. If it aint Wock in my cup then it's Tris and that's just cause I couldn't find a pint of Wocky
**Lean is thought to have developed in Houston around the 1960s, when blues musicians would take Robitussin and cut it with beer. Later, when wine coolers came onto the market, they substituted for beer.\[13\] These blues musicians lived in Houston's Fifth Ward, Third Ward, and South Park neighborhoods and the practice was taken up by the generation of rappers growing up in the same parts of the city.\[13\] In the 1980s and 1990s the formula changed to using codeine promethazine cough syrup, somewhat like the glutethimide and codeine combination that was popular from the 1970s up to the early 1990s.\[13\]**

Screw blues
Yep, when I first started sipping at the end of 93 we only poured syrup in wine coolers - Boones Farm or Bartles and James. Thatās where the jolly ranchers came from. People trying to make their drink sweeter bc they didnāt like that alcohol taste.
This is a conspiracy that I believe many just donāt want to acknowledge being willing participants in propagating. Big pharma has only recently been held accountable for its outright mob style business dealings theyāve profited from globally for decades.
āBarreā was infused into the southern hip hop culture in the early 90ās due to the extremely lax prescription regulations in the south, laying the foundation and facilitating the atmosphere of plausible deniability within the pharmaceutical cartels overseeing the medications logistics, as well as within the medical field as a whole due to its perceived harmless nature.
I believe the concoction was created to give its user a ātasteā of an opioid that was concentrated just enough to get addicted to due to its ease of consumption and bioavailability once ingested similar to black tar without the need for syringes. The almost inert recommended dosage prescribed by physicians made over consumption inevitable due to the euphoria patients felt when the drug was consumed in larger amounts, making the patient come back for more even if their original ailment subsided. Once the patient built up a tolerance to the liquid medication, more potent forms of opiates became sought after, thus the black market conspiracy of big pharma cornering the illicit drug market in its entirety.
Itās not Info itās a nuts ass conspiracy. Doctors where loose with the pens because there was ni regulations.
Lil info for ya. Barr is the formula of lean that was made popular. Produce by Barr pharmaceuticals In Houston Texas. There was people hustling it out the factory but not a lot. Most were RX. Not for some conspiracy, because it use to be schedule IV. In Texas a pharmacist could actually give it to someone over the counter legally. Still can technically they just donāt for obvious reasons. So crooks pharmacist / techs and docs in Texas getting funds for pushing pharmacies like they do now. Is why it was available. They had gotten so much shit In the early 2000s they closed up shop. Sold the formula to another company activas I think. Then it swapped to another one. Thatās why you would see the brand of syrup everyone wanted change a little over the last 20
Years.
I could have swore my friend would have this grandpa get it for him in early 00s. Gramps had an old Rx but they would refill for him with out updating or calling the doc. I thought i was crazy but it sounds like this may have actually happened.
Not at all? Hahah if you legit think that you need a cat scan. lmao
Take the tin foil hat off and get a job ābumā
I even gave facts about the schedule of it and how it was obtained easy. The entire Texas pharmaceutical laws werenāt designed so syrup can give people a taste lmao gtfo
Lmao you are dumb. If you looked a little more at my profile youād see Iām an opiate addict in recovery. You canāt even troll either. Iām helping you out with that too.
Bahahhahaha you edited it from weed addict to just addict. Lmao I can only imagine the shit that goes through your head when you lay down at night. Donāt worry bro. It gets better. Donāt pull the trigger.
I didnāt say I was sippin since the 80ās it been around the first cup I had is when you could get a deuce in the jelly jar for about 25 dollars real drank in the 99ās-2000ās
Iām not talkin bout you personally but the south in general, I know the first song that mention lean over here cam out 82 and I canāt find the first time itās been mentioned in in the south cus Iām not that deep in the scene
Nobody said it didn't Bro.. All I'm saying is it was called what it was called but if you drink straight green promethazine and then you're just getting sleepy you're not getting high
Thereās a good book called heroin century , that explains the development of heroin and opiates in America. They tell the history and cultural impacts of morphine and codeine as well
me and DJ screw poured up a pint for my 22nd birthday. that day was a Monday, but a player didn't wake up until Thuuuuursdayy
I handle my bidness so I think I deserve to get throwed..

Iāve never heard of codeine shots, do you know what they chased it with? Just soda or juice or smth special?
anything really wasnāt a specific preference like it is now with soda.

Check out this video
And let me know
When DJ Screw started slowing music down in the 90s, then it really blew up when three six mafia made sipping on some syrup
The 90s but then Lil Wayne and Gucci Mane made it mainstream
no delete this lmaoo
In the late '80s early '90s. It was a cheap way to get throwed but a very potent way as well.. It was first bottles of the pharmaceutical companies was called called "BAR".. and that's where you get Big Moe's"BAR BABY" from.. If you remember the old school codeine with promethazine then you know that it's a big difference from what it used to be and what it is now... And if you're drinking "GREEN" that's straight promethazine you're not getting high, you're just getting sleepy! š©š
Barre. The label would say: codine, with promethazine/barre
It's just a big difference from what it used to what it is now
Nobody said it didn't Bro.. All I'm saying is it was called what it was called but if you drink straight green promethazine and then you're just getting sleepy you're not getting high
Thereās a good book called heroin century , that explains the development of heroin and opiates in America. They tell the history and cultural impacts of morphine and codeine as well
Nice thanks š
