Purple drank, also known as lean or sizzurp, is a recreational beverage made by mixing prescription-strength cough syrup containing codeine and promethazine with a soft drink, often flavored with Jolly Rancher candies. The drink is known for its purple color, which comes from the cough syrup, and is popular in some music and youth cultures. The effects of purple drank can include relaxation and euphoria due to the opioid properties of codeine. However, it can also pose serious health risks, including respiratory depression and addiction, especially when consumed in large quantities or mixed with other substances like alcohol.
