Young people have come up with a new cocktail and that is not good news. Purple lean, as the drink in question is called, is a mix of cough drink with soft drink. Dangerous to life.
According to the police, the cocktail is originally from American rap culture. It is purple in color, addictive and very popular with the youth. The basis is a certain type of cough syrup that is mixed with soft drinks, sometimes in combination with wine gums to sweeten it.
The police in the Dutch province of North Brabant are calling on young people not to drink the drink. “Don’t start! It is very addictive and also punishable. Codeine (one of the active substances of this medicine) has a narcotic effect on your body. In large quantities you can get hallucinations, go out or even have a respiratory arrest. ”
The risk is increased if the cocktail is consumed in combination with alcohol. In the United States, the mix has already led to multiple overdoses resulting in death.
