Lean

Have you ever heard of Lean?  It seems to be a new recreational drink, composed of Arizona Watermelon fruit drink, Robitussin, and Skittles.  Evidently, you can get high on it, and maybe not coincidentally, two of the three ingredients were found on Trayvon's body the night he was killed. 
One of the recipes for “lean” calls for using Arizona Iced Tea Co.watermelon fruit juice cocktail as the beverage of choice, and Skittles candy… the items found on Trayvon Martin’s body the night he was shot by George Zimmerman.
Interesting, that. The Last Refuge has a mega-post up about the street concoction and how it might affect a person. Some say it gives a mellow high, but if you don't get the ingredients just right, it becomes "poor man's PCP". Whether or not Trayvon was stoned the night he became a bullet-stop is inconsequential to this post. What is consequential is that you can make a street drug from fruit juice, cough syrup, and candy. That's interesting to a school-house cop and hopefully to many parents who might be reading this posting.

I thought that in certain areas "skittles" is slang for pills.
