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!
