Relaxation Drink Has Some Calling it Liquid Pot
PHOENIX – There’s a new drink being sold in Arizona — but why are people comparing it to pot? It’s called Drank, and it’s a 16-ounce soda drink that tastes sort of like grape soda.
It’s the opposite of an energy drink. Drank calls itself an extreme relaxation product, so much so, that some have dubbed it “weed in a can.”
Brandon Rycombel sells and delivers Drank to stores. He says, “I think a lot of people use that for stress relief. That’s what we use it for.”
It contains melatonin, valerian root and rose hips, a remedy that supposedly slows you down.
“In our day and age, we’ve got a lot of stress. The economy is bad. People need something to help them relax, bring them down,” says Rycombel.
A spokesperson says it’s an alternative — not a substitute — for marijuana. “This isn’t going to get you into any trouble,” says Rycombel. “You can buy it in the store. It’s legal.”
Deb have you tried this
I think this is a play on a popular drink within the Hip-Hop/Rap industry, called “Sizzurp” (aka, lean, purple stuff, syrup, oil, etc.)It consists of 2oz.or more of Promethazine (w/Codeine) syrup, Sprite or any flavored drink/soda, and a Jolly Rancher for added flavor. All mixed in a Styrofoam cup served on ice.
It usually gives you a slowed-down effect, like when you get doped up on cough syrup. Except in this case you are taking well beyond the recommended intake level.

No, I have not tried that stuff….doesn’t look appealing
I tried this stuff. It didn’t work. It just made me real hungry. I got some Funyuns and watched Judge Judy. I hate Judge Judy, I’m not sure why I was watching it. But for some reason it was interesting, funny, and dramatic all at once. I fell asleep after that for about 2 hours. It was strange. I don’t think the drank worked though…..
One can of Drank, two large bags of potato chips, a bottle of chocolate syrup and two gallons of ice cream and I am ready…
This aint got nothin on the real drank. CA Kris nailed it. If you really want to feel good, get the Promethazine (w/Codeine) syrup. It actually taste great with Sprite. Numtumbot?
Shawn, have you tried the real deal? I split a 8oz bottle with a friend and slammed a few beers afterward..
I was in a mellow mood for the night. Not to mention I slept for 12 hours afterward.. hahaha. That was some good sleep though.
After today, I’ll take 13.
My friend found a couple when we were out last week. There is a warning on the can not to drink more than two servings in a 24 hour period and that the can contains two servings. He drank a can and didn’t think that it had a very strong effect.
Yeah, I get the real deal from time to time. They have different flavors but the purple (grape) is the best. Also, Tussinex is good too. It is prescribed as well. Drink about 4oz mixed with a 20oz Sprite, you will feel so good. Then you will sleep for 12 hours, happens to me all the time.
