Digital Drugs?

[DigitalShadow]

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.

This could be a boost to Microsoft's X-Box sales.

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!"

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.

I'm waiting for a hard hitting report on the latest danger to our kids:

They're calling it "exercise." 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."

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?

Is this kinda like when you're watching tv and an ad for coffee comes on?

So that's why I get the shakes and start thinking I'm smelling brewed coffee? Now THAT explains it.

It works on a similar principle, but there is a big difference between inducing a seizure and simulating the effect of drugs.
