Hey - wasn't sure if this should be in this vaping discussion or in ODD
Anyway, years of forum trolling has only informed me that chasing the dragon serves as a benefit because it "produces more smoke," through means, it seems to be generally accepted, of "distributing heat more evenly amongst your dope." That doesn't really make sense to me. If you're heating your dope below its burning point it shouldn't matter how much you're letting it move around a piece of foil, you should get the same amount of material.
Regardless, (and this is kind of embarassing because I can't find a link to the study) higher plasma concentrations of heroin have been recorded after chasing the dragon as opposed to, apparently, normal methods of heating.
Does this make sense? Is it more likely that the average heroin smokers just burn the shit out of their dope and that chasers simply burn it less? Could a similar effect be noted simply by reducing flame size/temperature and taking a longer time to smoke your heroin?
