Is the drug "lean", the purple prescripted drug, suppose to make your heart beat fast for a few minutes? what is that lean really for?

Dr. Romanth Waghmarae answered

Specializes in Pain Management

Lean: This is a mixture of cough syrup containing Codeine and promethazine, cold medicine, alcohol and a candy - mixed with some sort of pop. Its meant to get you high. What it does to your heart is bad and what it does to your brain and body is bad.

Dr Pappas and 2 doctors agreed
