What Is Double Cup and Why Is It Still So Popular After All These Years? double cup

Written by: The Tall Cop, Jermaine Galloway

A true, double cup reference is the stacking of two Styrofoam cups that contain Promethazine with Codeine then mixed with soda (commonly Sprite) and a jolly rancher. The double cup is what is holding the product. The Promethazine with Codeine portion of the drink has many slang terms: drank, lean, purple stuff, sizzurp, and dirty sprite.

Promethethazine is an antihistamine that is commonly prescribed by doctors for allergies, sleep disorders, skin itching etc. Codeine is an opioid pain killer that is prescribed for pain, possibly caused from a surgical procedure, or even a cough.

The double cup reference originated from the music industry in the southwestern portion of the US. Many rappers, including Texas, have been highlighted as promoting this drug trend. The double cup reference is now a worldwide drug association, that we see elementary school students to adults.

Many individuals will mix the promethazine with codeine with popular sodas and juices…many times skipping the candy. Furthermore, popular culture items such as t-shirts, stickers, items in schools and cars (air fresheners) have been identified with double cup references. As you can see from the attached photos (taken in various states) double cup references are everywhere.

Furthermore, we are seeing other drugs using the double cup (lean or sizzurp) reference to market their drug. Many times, these other drugs have no association with promethazine with codeine. From cannabis, to vapes, to over-the-counter products you will see these references in everyday stores. It is always a good idea to pay extra attention when one drug is being used to market another.

Testimonials

Speaking on behalf of the Oregon School Resource Officers Association, Jermaine is one of the few keynotes we have had present at our annual conference multiple times. We will be inviting him back again. He and his presentation are just that good. Mike Jackson President Oregon School Resource Officers Association We are always fortunate when we are able to slate Officer Jermaine Galloway as a speaker at one of our conferences. Officer Galloway is not only an exemplary presenter, but he takes the time to research local drug and alcohol trends in the jurisdiction where he is speaking to truly give his audience a relevant and worthwhile experience. He has a rare talent for identifying issues that are not immediately obvious such as drug-related code words and illicit drugs disguised as legal commercial products. Ned Minevitz Program Attorney & TxDOT Grant Administrator Texas Municipal Courts Education Center After your presentation a couple weeks ago I have become more aware of what caseload of probationers are wearing. Just the beginning of this week a new probationer came in, admitted to smoking weed prior to sentencing, so that was my first flag. But was also wearing a sweatshirt that had “TrapLord” on it. I googled it later and found the urban dictionary term being consistent with being a “weed dealer”. Again, without the training you provided for us just a couple weeks ago I am not sure I would have even caught that. Thanks. Dustin Officer South Dakota In the global festivals and events industry and the rapidly changing world in which we must operate, there is no shortage of risk management challenges to keep those attending our events safe, secure and healthy.
