Get the Hash House Harriers (H3) mug.A house or apartment where crack cocaine users smoke crack, socialize, and pool resources to get deals on crack. Involves a fairly stable cast of characters with new people usually being introduced by somebody known to the house. Should be nearby to a trap house or crack spot, which are places where crack is sold for profit. Crack houses provide an easy introduction for the crack scene newcomer who may not know where the crack spots are, or who is unknown to dealers, as people at the crack house will facilitate obtaining crack as necessary.
Use of the crack house generally involves paying a house fee (crack or cash) to the person or couple whose house it is. Crack houses are preferred by people who can't smoke at home or who like to smoke in a social setting. Females in the crack house may approach men to offer sexual services in exchange for shared crack, and such arrangements are viewed as normal in most crack houses, with sex sometimes occurring in side rooms and other times in public areas of the house.
