Why, we’d probably cook it over a stove, then freebase it from a pipe. Wow! What a rush! Fun at parties! In this alternate reality, there’d be old ’50s films with names like “Coffee Madness!” and we’d all be wearing hemp instead of cotton.
Want to know what that would be like, but all you have is a pipe, some coffee grounds and ammonia? You’re in luck!

PS. I tagged this ‘NSFW’ but it’s probably not safe to try this at home, either.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
I would simply die in a corner somewhere if coffee were outlawed. My word fuel would be gone.
Umm, wouldn’t it just be easier to brew and drink and nice strong cup of java? A kinder gentle buzz than smoking it? Plus the whole ammonia thing is kind of gross.
Yay! Now I have something to try after work.
Luuuvin the blog, G-rant.

I should have called the fictional film “Java Madness!” I was wracking my brain last night for coffee slang, but I guess I was tired.
And yes, the ammonia part really turned me off, too. Best line in the video, though, is when the narrator says, “Think of the money you could make from coast-to-coast, in every schoolyard — it’s legal!”
