Hot railing is a method of consuming methamphetamine that involves heating a glass tube until it becomes red-hot, placing one end of the tube into a line or tiny pile of meth crystals, and inhaling the resulting vapor through the other end of the tube. Hot railing is believed to offer a more effective and potent transport of the drug to the bloodstream than more conventional means of administration, including smoking or snorting, resulting in a quicker and more intense high. However, hot railing is highly dangerous and carries specific risks, including serious burns and injuries, and the possibility of developing meth psychosis, cardiovascular strain, dental issues, and cognitive impairments.
