chase the dragon

(1) "Chasing the dragon" is a method of smoking opium (opium is often referred to as a dragon in asian cultures). The opium is heated on some kind of metal and a fine line of smoke evolves from the heated drug. This smoke is now to be "chased" (meaning breathed in), often through a small tube, like a straw.
(2) Also used to describe a similar method of smoking other drugs (heroine, crack, etc)

In many cultures it is common to chase the dragon every day.

1. Slang phrase that refers to smoking cannabis buds from a bong or bong derivative, but can be used simply to refer to smoking marijuana in general. **Not to be confused with "chasing the dragon" (opium substances)**

2. It can be used also to refer to that elusive first beautiful Marijuana euphoria one has experienced in their 1st MJ smoke that constantly eludes one thereafter and one continues to "chase the green dragon" but never catches it.
