One of the most common methods of illicit heroin use is via intravenous injection (colloquially termed "shooting up"). Recreational users may also administer the drug by snorting, or smoking by inhaling its vapors when heated, i.e. "chasing the dragon."

One of the earliest uses of meth was during World War II when the German military dispensed it under the trade name Pervitin. It was widely distributed across rank and division, from elite forces to tank crews and aircraft personnel.

Cocaine powder is also dissolved in water and used intravenously ("slammed"). In this form, it has a high melting point, so it cannot be smoked. Those who choose to smoke cocaine utilize a method known as freebasing.

The makeshift equipment of an average clandestine meth lab would fit in a small cardboard box or cooler. Meth labs have been set up in kitchens, bath tubs, sheds, back yards, ice houses and vehicles.
