Jenny is right. It's short for 'Free-basing".
Definition: 1. To purify (cocaine) by dissolving it in a heated solvent and separating and drying the precipitate.
2. To use (cocaine purified in this way) by burning it and inhaling the fumes.

it's slang for freebasing cocaine, As the name implies, "freebase" is the base form of cocaine, as opposed to the salt form of cocaine hydrochloride. Whereas cocaine hydrochloride is extremely soluble in water, cocaine base is insoluble in water and is therefore not suitable for drinking, snorting or injecting. Cocaine hydrochloride is not well-suited for smoking because the temperature at which it vaporizes is very high, and close to the temperature at which it burns; however, freebase cocaine base vaporizes at a low temperature, which makes it suitable for inhalation.
