DigitalShadow Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 Anyone heard of these? My coworker said he heard a news report talking about the dangers of these "Digital Drugs." Supposedly they are audio files that when played simulate the effects of drugs like marijuana. Sounds more like classic placebo effect to me though. I'm highly skeptical that these audio files do anything, let alone what they claim to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DigitalShadow Posted August 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 I can see it on the local news now... "Is there a drug dealer secretly lurking in your living room? Tune in at 10 to find out!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absurd.Digital THC.The closet thing to drug effects you can get without using drugs are the release of endorphans and adrenalin through things like (gasp) exercise.Unless your into sleep deprivation.

This seemingly harmless activity can cause a chain reaction in your child's body to release an assortment of mind altering chemicals! What's worse is that some schools even have an entire class devoted to introducing your child to this dangerous practice. Are your kids safe? Call your school now and let them know how you feel about forcing your child to "exercise." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pam Posted August 2, 2008 Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 But what about that story a few years back about kids in Japan having seizures over watching shows on tv...anime or Pokemon or something along that line. Couldn't it be kind of the same idea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't it be kind of the same idea?It works on a similar principle, but there is a big difference between inducing a seizure and simulating the effect of drugs.
