This method can also be used to
freebase cocaine or
meth, or to smoke
opium or
hash. Basically any drug that can be imbibed through inhalation can be placed on a
non-flammable substance such as a thin piece of
glass or
aluminum foil as described by
dead, lit from underneath and chased in this way. I have heard stories of
crackheads clumsily chasing the dragon off aluminum foil when they don't have access to the typical
glass pipe.
I had been told that chasing the dragon had originated in
Hong Kong for use with opium.
