Coffee smoking becoming popular among teens
Krista Hostetler
Mar. 27, 2014
Las Vegas, NV (KTNV) -- Teens are getting their caffeine fix in a way never thought of before. They're smoking it.
Coffee smoking is a dangerous new trend that's going viral among teens.
We've heard of people eating coffee beans, but smoking them is a whole other thing.
There are websites popping up online that will teach kids step-by-step on how to roll their own caffeine stick.
"We're about to legalize marijuana all over the United States. I think we can live with a few bean heads."
But the side effects can be dangerous. People have reported trouble breathing, dizziness, vomiting and even hallucinations.

Nutmeg smoke leaves a taste worse than a Bali Hai hangover. I can extrapolate coffee...

(and leave the good stuff to those of us who actually LIKE to drink it)...
Seriously bad idea, though...
