so what do you think caused an uptick in lean abuse, if not the rappers who reach millions of kids daily?:lupe:

if celebrities arent influential why do they get paid millions to endorse products? :lupe:
Groupthink is a real phenomenon thats been studied extensively. Breh just needs to do a google to see the truth

Drug culture has had a significant influence on pop culture.


But let's stop putting up a front that we actually care that people are consuming drugs and further stigmatize and name all and pat ourselves on the back.

And for the record this country has had problems abusing over the counter drugs for over a decade. This is not new at all.

as black people we are more susceptible to the problems that come with illicit drug use. were are going to get more time than anyone else for possession, we are in less of a position economically to seek treatment and we are the ones who can least afford any setbacks. everyone uses drugs, fine. but we doing need these corporately backed c00ns glorifying opiates to our youth. fukk that.

Bu.. But its just entertainment.

The abundance of lean sipping pics i see on my fb timeline show me just how impressionable everyone is. No one out here was on that shyt til they heard a rap song that glorified it :ld:
I live in London, had the craziest snoop moment hearing a guy at a party saying he needs some lean or cough syrup.

How about you ask anyone who does lean and get their insight on why they consume the recreational drug.

Be a person for once.
Psychologists study groups because nearly all human activities—working, learning, worshiping, relaxing, playing, and even sleeping—occur in groups. The lone individual who is cut off from all groups is a rarity. Most of us live out our lives in groups, and these groups have a profound impact on our thoughts, feelings, and actions.

They don't get paid off of their influence but their brand.

See Donald Trump as an example.

I agree that were economically at a disadvantage I regards to seeking treatment.

But preaching on to the choir on the coli of all places ain't gonna change shyt, hate to break it to you.

I've never seen self hate like in the black community. Rock stars do coke, acid, meth and all kinds of ish. But you never hear people condemning them for it are saying it influences a entire population. Its apart of the * lifestyle * lol

lmao at condemning drugs being a product of self-hate.

You forgot the part that where most of these black artists come from the ravages of drugs aren't anywhere near as glamorous. :stopitslime:


And lol@ souljaboy being described as a Grammy-nominated artist. That's pretty generous and def not the first thing I'd think of him as.

Nirvana was one of the greatest band's ever and Kobain was an heroine addict...

Think Jimmy Hendrix.. Think Future...

So there is some kind of connection between good music and opiates...
Or it just happened to be that some talented artists were also drug addicts?
Cobain likely had a chronic pain issue, and Jimmy Hendrix was just an addict in general.
You know how many incredibly sober artists there are?
