When I was 10, admittedly older than that, my friends and I took corn from a corn field and made a corn cob pipe, and put some stolen parental tobacco in it. Nobody told us you don't simply burn things in raw corn cobs - there's some treatment involved before you can. I don't know if it was the tobacco, or the charring corn cob itself that made us gag most.
