Chasing the Dragon

I started chasing the dragon a couple weeks ago (chasing the white smoke left off from heroin when burned on foil) and not only do I love the high, but I also absolutely love the actual act of 'chasing the dragon'.

Is there any other substances or anything i can chase the dragon with thats less harmful and less addictive than BTH? Just so i can chase something for fun?

Probably not im guessing but would be cool
 
If you're looking for something you can vaporize just because you like the act of doing it, I'm sure there must be something. Like what about something like a herb or resin? I can't really think of anything off the top of my head that would be exactly like the process for smoking heroin (you shouldn't be actually burning the heroin, just heating it so it vaporizes), but there have got to be some less-harmful non-dependence-causing substances that you can at least do something similar with.

Or maybe you would be into personal vaporizers (PVs) that use e-liquid? You can get non-nicotine e-liquids in a huge variety of flavours. It's not the same as chasing the dragon but it is fun process. Although a good PV is considerably more expensive than foil, e-liquids are vastly cheaper and vastly less harmful/dangerous/addictive than heroin.

This is sort of what i was looking for. An herb or something like that that would vaporize similar to heroin on foil. Does anyone know of anything? Ill look into the pvs too
 
What about cannabis "wax". I dont really know much about it but a lot of my peers use it. I think its a hash resin that the vaporize? correct me if im wrong. I really dont like weed too much, but this would sure be a much safer option to do once in a while than using heroin.

Would "wax" vaporize on foil similarly to black tar?
 
LOL, be careful! Are you already dependent on heroin? If not, get out now while you still can! We need to find something better for you to smoke fast! :)
It sounds like you are already developing an addiction to the act of chasing the dragon.

Yeah, I actually think "ear wax hash" would probably work. It's quite strong though, so if you're not a big cannabis fan you might want to stick to small amounts, but at least it's way better for you than heroin.

Another thing I thought of that I've never used so I don't know how well it would work is pure frankincense resin. It has calming effects and is the same stuff in the incense that churches use - it's becoming more popular to smoke it or eat it since some studies on its psychoactive effects came out. I'll try to think of more things for you.

There are a bunch of herbs you can smoke, but I don't really know if there are any you can actually vaporize, nor would they leave trails you can chase like heroin. But if you're interested there are many herbal smoking mixtures.

No, I am not dependent on heroin, I am actually much more addicted to the act of chasing the dragon than the high itself.

Thank you for the help! Frankincense sounds interesting, i LOVE the smell of that stuff! Just imagine--im done taking a shit and instead of using febreze to freshen the air i just chase the dragon with some frankincense and my bathroom now has a heavenly smell to it...literally! :D
 
Caffeine would work I think, as that's what heroin gets cut with to make it run well.
 
It would have to be pure caffeine powder, but I doubt you could keep tht up for long. Caffeines effects are pretty horrible at higher doses. The frankincense resin sounds like the best option. Honestly compulsive smoking of substances off foil is not healthy, no matter what the drug. Your not only chasing the dragon, you are chasing the high. It's jst not something that sounds sustainable with a healthy lifestyle. Your choice though.

Get some hash oil, chase that dragon and you never have to worry about addiction or OD. plus you can get real high
 
You can smoke weed off foil exactly like tar, except the chasing part. Just let the weed sit on foil, lighter under, not too close, weed will vaporize giving the unique vape smell/high

Pretty effecient
 
while true, the OP said they enjoy the whole process of chasing the dragon, running it down the foil, etc. So vaping plain weed off foil would not be the replacement they are looking for. At least that's what I think, we can wait till the OP responds.

well regarding the weed thing, if the "chase" is really all you care about you could slide a ball of hash down the foil instead of a ball of dope
 
^^ Yeah, but the foil is the crux of the matter.
Dude, you have to read the thread from the beginning to really understand the importancy of the FOIL.
