But seriously, folks, as the supply of Activis sizzurp trickles to nothing, what can the hiphop world look forward to?

Healthline: If you’ve taken codeine for a long time, several withdrawal symptoms can occur when you stop...The early phase occurs within a few hours of your last dose. Later, other symptoms occur as your body readjusts to life without codeine.
Early symptoms of withdrawal include:- agitation and anxiety
- insomnia
- an increased amount of tears
- runny nose
- sweating
- yawning
- muscle aches
Later symptoms include:- diarrhea
- stomach cramps
- dilated pupils
- nausea and vomiting
- goose bumps

Agitation, anxiety, and insomnia -- the perfect combination for a music genre that loves brandishing guns and holding grudges!
Quote:
Some people choose to remain dependent on codeine...(or) try stronger, more addictive opiates...rather than go through withdrawal...
The use of other less addictive opiates can reduce some of the withdrawal symptoms. Buprenophine (Suboxone, Subutex)...can be used for codeine detoxification...

Buprenophine? That name rings a bell.
Quote:
TMZ: Prince's people called Dr. Howard Kornfeld...in Marin County, California...the day before the singer died, saying they believed he was on the verge of dying from drugs...(T)he doctor said it would be 2 days before he could get there...(He) sent his son, Andrew, who worked at their facility...Andrew...was at Prince's home the day he died...(and) called 911 after the staff found Prince unconscious...
Andrew did not supply Prince with any drugs, although he did have synthetic opiates in his backpack. The drug is called buprenorphine...for pain management and to wean people off actual opiates...

Small world. And I shudder to think of how the syrup is being thinned ("cut" or "stepped on" for you geriatric junkies) as the supply of "the good stuff" dwindles...
