Young people, historically, have strived to get high in various ways. Some of them took the natural approach, while others like to invent things. Regardless of the source, the side effects can be dangerous.
Dr. Robert Glatter from Lenox Hill Hospital in New York said, “This is a very dangerous drug. It can lead to seizures and essentially lead you to stop breathing,” as reported by Today News.
Those do not seem like desirable effects, but yet the drug is still popular amongst the younger generation. Its trendiness is in large part due to pop culture.
The drug is not complicated to make and oftentimes the items needed are found in the home. USA Today writes, the essential elements of sizzurp also known as "lean" or "purple drank" are soda, fruity candy, and cough syrup.
Users probably do not understand what they are doing and, in turn, do not take the drug seriously. The facts and information are clear and this drug has proven to be very dangerous.
