puff the magic dragon

A song from the 70's based on an older folk song about opium. It was said that when you smoked opium, you'd enter a world of dragons and demons. Conversely when you drunk absinthe you would travel to a land of happiness and green fairies.

Also the origin of chasing the dragon, a modern phrase one uses while smoking a line of heroin on a tin foil fold, as they burn the length, one would enhale through a straw, along the line, thereby chasing the smoke.

Hey Matt, do you know what puff the magic dragon song was about

No Dan, What is it about?

Opium smoking.

I gotta chase the magic dragon man!

Puff the Magic Dragon

I was also used during Viet Nam to name the C-130 Spector(sp?), It was basically a C-130 Gunship that would basicall fly in a holding pattern and lay down a devistating blanket of lead on the enemy.

We were pinned down by a Viet Cong Division until Puff the Magic Dragon was caled in to thin'em out.

1. the title song of a children's movie. A child with no friends meets the dragon and gets a new friend. This all takes place in a magical town... which the dragon can't leave because if adults see him ... he will be forced to go away. The child is passed over as having an imaginary friend.
2.A reference to smoking pot. as seen in the movie "meet the parents".
