A song by the vocal group Peter, Paul, and Mary from the 1960s. Widely believed to be about smoking marijuana, sources claim it was really just meant to be a song about a magic dragon.
Either way, it became imprinted in the minds of many little kids sitting around campfires.
Ex. "I was in the mall and I heard this little kid singing "Puff the Magic Dragon" over and over again... man was it annoying!"

Get the puff the magic dragon mug.
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.

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".
