How To Make Lean With Nyquil

There are people out there that want to experience drinking lean but don’t have the access to get prescription cough syrup. Instead, they search for information on how to make lean without codeine. It is possible to do so but I have to tell you right now this is a less potent way and is considered a fake way of drinking sizzurp. So you may not get the same effect of feeling “high” or a feeling of euphoria because the codeine is the ingredient that makes you feel euphoric. Some try to make lean with Nyquil, Sprite, and Xanax pills. This may give them that kick they are looking for but a mixture of all of this can be harmful. Shit, to be honest, all of this is harmful.

Here are the basic ingredients for making lean with Nyquil

• Cough syrup – Nyquil.
• Sprite or Mountain Dew
• Jolly Rancher
• Codeine Pills (If you have access to it)

In conclusion, it is safe to say that lean is bad for you. Rappers and other people from inner cities drink it because it has been a part of their culture for decades. There are people who love the culture and want to be a part of it so they try to make their own lean and drink it.

This is at their own risk knowing that lean can harm your body and potentially kill you. I know lean seems cool because all the rappers are doing drinking it, but they are just trying to sell you an image they get paid to sell.  It’s called getting paid to entertain. The rappers whole image is entertainment. The greatest advice I can give is to stay away from lean because it’s not worth your life.
