R.I.P DJ Screw. houston great.

The only good part of havin a cold, wife gets me cases of that shit...

I'm a big guy so i can go through a bottle or two a day

On the DJ Screw issue: He died from a prescription-only, codeine-containing cough medicine called Promethazine, not exactly Robitussin. That being said, I don't think you want to drink too much of the over the counter stuff either.

Wait he meant robitussin? That shit is so weak. I thought you just were saying syrup and meaning some lean. I think you could drink a case of robitussin and not die. just be sick as hell.

lol i was talking about lean as well

the over the counter stuff is worse than the prescription because it has more fillers and that DXM shit is horrible for your liver since you have to drink a larger quantity to get fucked up...

the prescription shit is the bomb i used to sip that purp and yellow tuss all daaaaaay... its only worse because it gets you more fucked up and is SUPER addictive

Cough syrup with codeine is not called promethazine. Promethazine is a drug itself (like codeine). What kind of syrup is Willie talking about?

Isn't it just the alcohol giving you a buz?

What alcohol? Its DXM that is giving him a buzz. Yes you can die from cough syrup, theres alot of other chemicals in it that you need to make sure to check how much of them are in it before you drink it. They are what can kill you.

But promethazine has codeine in it, at least in the syrup form, because too much codine would make you sick and promethazine keeps you from throwing up. I used to love to take that stuff.

yeah search for the ld50 number for it that will tell you how much mg per kg of body weight is lethal 50% of the time in animals probably wanna make sure you do less than that

Now im conufused lol
promentazine and codeine are two diffrant things
but can you buy thoes seprate?

Yes they are different things and you can by separately. But when you get some prescription strength cough syrup its mostly codine with promethazine in there. if it is purple.

Oh yea and download firefox man. spell checker.
