Can I smoke out of a pipe made of copper?

I can probably find the answer somewhere already but I just wanted to make sure that one can safely smoke DMT out of copper.

If you are applying a flame directly to the copper, I definitely wouldn't do this. If it gets hot enough some form of copper toxicity is possible especially with as hot as some torch lighters get. I wouldn't risk it. If the flame is not directly applied to it, it may be okay. Using a copper scrubby in various devices for vaporization is pretty common. I used one for a bit but the slight possibility of me being wrong about he health effects has caused be to stop using it. I personally wouldn't risk it either way, but it's up to you.

afaik, copper has chemicals that are released when heated up with open flame and is considered as a bad choice to build a smoking device.

Despite the issue of possible copper toxicity, I have heard of someone getting copper shavings in their lungs and being in excruciating agony constantly, and doctors being unable to help in any way.
I wouldn't risk it, there are plenty of other safe materials for smoking devices to be constructed from.
Be safe.

Copper has many applications but I agree with above posters regarding its use for smoking out of. A plentiful of safer devices and choices are available.

Thank you for the responce. Copper tubbing just seamed like the simplest material to make a pipe out of.

Yes. However, this is generally believed to be okay because it doesn't get hot enough since it isn't getting a direct flame.
