--------
In this clip, Juelz Santana opened up about his past lean addiction and the drawbacks of his excessive use of the drug. Juelz said that he was introduced to lean by Paul Wall and initially thought it was just a cool rapper thing but wasn’t aware of the long term effects. Despite the battle with addiction, Juelz insists that his music career wasn’t negatively impacted by lean.
