Oklahoma City’s Fox-25 [reports](http://www.okcfox.com/story/25302985/teens-find-new-use-for-burts-beeswax-lip-balm) that teens are now getting a new kind of “buzz” by applying Burt’s Bees lip balm to their eyelids. Naturally, they’re calling it “Beezin” and apparently it adds to the experience of already being drunk or high by adding an additional tingling sensation. Others say it keeps them alert. But like, why did [the youths ](http://dash.ponychan.net/chan/files/src/138300017269.gif)choose Burt’s Bees? “It’s the peppermint oil that’s causing the burning sensation and I suppose some people think that is kind of funny,” Dr. Brett Cauthen at Today Clinic told Fox-25. Yeah, funny until you get pink eye, dude! Then no one will want to hang out with you because you’re that weirdo with red swollen eyes. If you don’t believe that “Beezin” is a real thing, then allow this video to convince you: ([h/t Gawker)](http://gawker.com/teens-supposedly-get-high-by-putting-burts-bees-on-thei-1567027933) Beezin Teens Reportedly Getting High By Rubbing Burt's Bees On Eyelids ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/75596/teens-getting-high-with-burts-bees/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/75596/teens-getting-high-with-burts-bees/"},"headline":"The Cool New Way to Get High Is Apparently To Rub Burt's Bees Lip Balm On Your Eyelids","datePublished":"2014-04-24T15:27:29.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:09:05.004Z","description":"It's called \"Beezin\"","url":"https://time.com/75596/teens-getting-high-with-burts-bees/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Teens","Drugs","Youth","Bizarre","kids"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltac71a24e5b1d17be/69868c44169ab08580278fb3/94570148.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Samantha Grossman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/samantha-grossman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltac71a24e5b1d17be/69868c44169ab08580278fb3/94570148.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Burt's Bees products are displayed at Gramercy Natural Front","caption":"Burt's Bees products are displayed at Gramercy Natural Front","creditText":"Jb Reed / Bloomberg / Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/75596/teens-getting-high-with-burts-bees/","name":"The Cool New Way to Get High Is Apparently To Rub Burt's Bees Lip Balm On Your Eyelids"}}]}] ```
