A hotline is also a particularly adventurous way of consuming powdered drugs.

WARNING!

This is fucking hardcore, OK? We're talking about something that would make Iggy Pop give you a worried, fatherly look while handing you a card for a rehab center and an admonition to "For the love of Christ, get some fucking help, man!". If you actually do this, you're fully responsible for your own health.

To perform a hotline, you'll need a mirror, a razor, some powder drugs, a blowtorch, and a pyrex tube.

Go ahead and cut yourself out a line. You may want to make it a small one for this experiment.

Now, take one end of the pyrex tube, and heat it until it glows a dull red under the blowtorch.

Quickly place the *COOL* end in your nose. (Yes, I've seen this step performed incorrectly before. It looks quite painful.)

Snort. The powder should vaporize upon entering the hot end of the tube, and you will actually blow back out a good amount of smoke.

Congratulations! You're now officially smoking hard drugs THROUGH YOUR NOSE!

Now, go kick yourself repeatedly for actually trying this.
