People typically sip the purple drank to experience the reported euphoria and dissociation. Promethazine is a sedative antihistamine that is often used to treat motion sickness and insomnia and can enhance the effects of the codeine. It is usually prescribed for mild to severe pain and produces euphoric side effects. Codeine is part of a class of drugs called opiates.
Prescription cough syrup contains the active ingredients of codeine and promethazine. If other central nervous system depressants are thrown into the mixture, the consequences would be particularly bad.
Slang names for sizzurp are “lean”, “syrup,” “barre,” and “purple jelly.” The most popular slang term is “purple drank,” so-called for the purple hue the cough syrup gives it. It is made by combining prescription-strength cough syrup with sugary sodas like Mountain Dew or Sprite, to which hard candies like Jolly Ranchers are added to increase the candy-like flavor. Sizzurp is a pharmaceutical drug-infused drink that gets the user high. From there, it spread to nearby states, such as Louisiana and others. It gained popularity in the 90s in the underground rap scene in Houston.
Over time, the recipe was modified to include codeine and by the 80s, it was adopted by the hip-hop musicians in the south. The drink has been abused as far back as the 1960s, originating with the blues musicians in Houston, Texas who would combine dextromethorphan (DXM) with beer.
