Coffee smoking becoming popular among teens

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.

Oh man, I got to try this!

1. I recall the same thing with nutmeg.

Probably best avoided.

2. For the nasty taste, if nothing else.

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

3. I hope they only use the cheap beans...

(and leave the good stuff to those of us who actually LIKE to drink it)...

Seriously bad idea, though...

6. They're reporting hallucinations?

That sounds like the reason you'd do this.
