Codeine is a scheduled substance used recreationally in a drinkable mixture known on the street as “lean,” “sizzurp” and “purple drank.”
Acquiring it legally in America requires a doctor’s prescription.
The shipment of six 17-ounce bottles, purportedly containing vegetable glycerine, arrived June 13 from the U.K. to an address in Philadelphia. Customs agents knew something was amiss when the bottles weighed more than they should have, as codeine is heavier than glycerine. After agents took a couple of days to determine the liquid in the bottles was codeine syrup, the shipment was seized and handed over to Homeland Security Investigations agents working at Philadelphia International Airport.
