not only safe but a lot of fun here !
you need a sharp heavy knife , CAREFULLY chop the husk off untill you get to the nut . (really not necessary) just expose the top ( at the stem ) you'll see the small eye's,usually three,poke two ,with a smaller utensil, and stick a straw in one to drink, I LIKE TO POUR SOME RUM / OR GIN IN MINE THEN SHAKE FOR A NICE DRINK !!

should be...i've seen it done many o' times...

Sure, should be fine. Now if that tree grew in NYC or NJ........I would definitely NOT consume it.

yes i think so anywayz
