"Wayne, What's in that cup?"

Good afternoon stayondecker's! Like I said on my previous post I've been very ill. I've been in and out of my physician's office for a simple cough that has just turned out-right nasty now: Scratchy throat, chest pains, dry coughs, and fevers. Lately I've been feeling better. They downed my dosage and now I'm on my way to recovery. That medication did wonders instantly! Intrigued by its instant effect I simply decided to google it to see what exactly it is. I simply typed in "Promethazine Codeine" and my search results were unbelieveable. Before I can even see any medical facts or any Rx pages, a ridiculous amount of pictures of Lil' Wayne and Pimp C came out holding their styrofoam cups. Call me naive but every time I've seen Wayne holding that cup I've just assumed he's a very thirsty person. I did my research on this so called drink which they call "Lean, Drank, Purple Drank, Sizzurp, Barre". It seems that this is a Houston movement. It originated in Houston. It seems that in Houston(and apparently now the whole U.S.) abuse the cough syrup Promethazine/Codeine to get a high off of it. Apparently, this was responsible for Pimp C's and DJ Screw's death. After the autopsy, the coroner concluded that Pimp C's death was due to sleep apnea. True, but if you do your research you can see Promethazine contributes to sleep apnea. Here's another thing: Former San Diego Chargers free safety, Terrence Kiel, was arrested in September 2006 because he tried to ship a numerous amount of Prometh/Codeine to his friend in Texas. Early this year, Terrence died in a car crash when coming back from a teammate's 4th of July party. When the autopsy came back for him he apparently died from mechanical asphyxia....another side effect of Prometh. Am I really the only person that caught this?!?!?! I'm not here to be someone's mother. Im not here to tell you how to live. Im not here to offended anybody's ways. Im not here to veer off the music subject. I just really want to get some info out there: I personally do not want to see some off the industry's favorites die(or anybody for that matter) because of something so stupid. Drug abuse is extremely dangerous. We really should think about what we do and what we induce into our bodies. Thanks for reading my rant stayondecker's.
