Teenagers these days are getting their coffee fix from inhaling it, rather than drinking from a cup.
A dangerous new trend that involves smoking the ground up beans has gone viral among teenagers, leading to caffeine overdose side effects that include trouble breathing, dizziness, vomiting, hallucinations and convulsions, ABC News reports.
Websites are popping up that give kids a step-by-step guide on how to roll the beans inside cigarette paper for a homemade caffeine stick to smoke for a quick buzz. Doctors say it’s nothing new, but the trend has spiked in recent weeks.
