Lean was around before crack, it just resurfaced.

Lean and pills is the new crack

[@SSneaks1515]

This dude speaking facts. Refreshing to hear someone who stated “u know how people look at dope fiends” admit that it’s the same thing and to understand. Gives a different perspective when u walked in those shoes 🙌🏼

[@gabriellej7532]

Something I noticed is people need to stop looking down on others doing actual herion & label them as feins when y’all do the same thing in a different form. Drugs are drugs. One isn’t “cooler” than the other. If they give you the same withdrawals then it’s the same. Obviously. The rap game is a damn shame. These used to be private shameful subjects & is talked about now so openly….

[@gamezandmuzik]

I relate to this so much i was addicted to percs for 10years+. Once i had my daughter i tried slowing down but i didnt. She found a 30mg and gave it to her moms. My lady was like what u think wouldve happen if she took that?? I cried for hours that day and quit. Its been over 3 years clean off cigarettes weed alcohol everything . Life is so much better with out that stuff.

[@clutchk5240]

Got to respect Dave East for this, he keep it real raw and uncut to drug addiction, his reasoning, the effect, as well as the vulnerability. Glad he mentioned the impact Nip had on him as well. Because even Nip mentions in an interview he stop smoking weed a bit to get more focus and be the best version of himself. It's important to see people put things in action that we know instead of simply speaking. Because actions influence and inspires change.

[@christianschmidt5744]

The best thing we can do to overcome something is to understand it. The best way to understand something is to speak about it.. without shame. You're not alone. Sun rise in the East. Thanks Dave

I tried lean a few times, and I can see why we had so many rappers addicted, and even pass away from it. It’s a euphoric dreamy high, and if you drink enough your body will start to feel numb and tingly at the same time. Felt good, but I definitely could NOT FUNCTION off that shit lol

I wonder if the lean had any effect on his voice changing cuz he started losing his voice after 2016 and it started getting raspy n gravely like it is now which is sad cuz he had a great rapping voice it was attention grabbing but now it's not the same even though his rhyming is still really good it's not as captivating as before

Always wanted to try Lean but never had a connect. Back in 2016 I legit had a very bad cough and went to the ER for it. Dr. Prescribed me a small bottle of it ( probably the smallest bottle possible). I got home and threw the whole bottle in a 12oz Sprite. Cough went away and I remember it being a very lazy relaxed euphoric high. Wasn’t bad and I see why people get addicted however I never cared to try it again.

If you're addicted to it, you're a dope fiend 🤣 yellow is tussinex, which is liquid hydrocodone(vicodin).
