What happens when a prescription cough syrup becomes a cultural icon? This episode of 'Recovery Partner Network' dives into the unexpected journey of lean addiction. Lean, a concoction primarily made from codeine, has been around for decades, but it catapulted into the limelight thanks to its glorification in music and media. Codeine, an opiate, has long been misused for its euphoric effects, but its mainstream popularity soared as celebrities and artists began to reference it in their work.
The hosts break down how this seemingly harmless medicine turned into a symbol of rebellion and status, and why it's far more dangerous than it looks. They also explore the social and psychological factors that make lean so appealing to young people, despite its severe health risks.
Whether you're a parent trying to understand the latest trends or someone curious about the intersection of drugs and pop culture, this episode offers a compelling look at how lean became more than just a drink.
