“You feel relaxed and floaty, then you go unconscious, stop breathing and die” – In the early ’90s, lean was nothing more than a Houston codeine cocktail, now lads in England love it!
Lean is the name of a codeine-based drink that has become popular within some strands of hip hop culture in the US – and now it has made its way to Bristol. It is made with prescribed codeine-based cough syrup, but, when mixed with alcohol and other drugs like Xanax, it poses an extreme overdose risk.
