Americans are concerned about digital drugs

Americans are concerned - children all over the country "get high" on the Internet with the help of special music files that cause a state of ecstasy when listening. Many seriously believe this can encourage adolescents to use real drugs.

For example, one of the American news channels reports a phenomenon called “i-dosing”, which is to find an “online dealer”, with which you can join the “digital drugs” and get high on the headphones. And US officials take it seriously.
"Children gather in groups on these sites, driven by interest in new sensations, and this may lead them to other, more dangerous places," said Mark Woodward, a representative of the Oklahoma Drug Control Bureau, to a local television station.

To get an “iDose”, you need to put on headphones and listen to “music”, consisting mainly of various noises and hum. Sites that sell these sounds promise sensations akin to the euphoria of taking real drugs. Teens listen to tracks like “Gates of Hell” , which can be freely found on YouTube (as with regular drugs, the first dose is often free).

Those who want to join such “drugs” can purchase tracks that supposedly give the same effect as from the use of marijuana, cocaine, opium or peyote. But unlike drugs sold on the streets that do not require instruction, it is recommended to buy a 40-page guide for their digital counterparts, which explains how to get high with mp3.

In one of the schools, Oklahoma also does not consider the threat frivolous and send letters to parents warning of a new fashion. Teachers went so far as to ban iPods and other players at school, in the hope of preventing students from “making friends” with digital drugs.

In this video you can look at the behavior of a very ordinary teenager, after listening to mp3 drugs.

I wonder if future presidential candidates will deny the use of “digital drugs”, whether it is time to declare war or cyber war cyber narcotics, as the police find out, adolescent accepts “iDose” or just listen to music and whether the iPod will be a tool to get a dose in the future, can you get an overdose When mixing conventional and digital drugs, what happens to those who sell dirty mp3?

Perhaps the most frightening thing that will happen is that teenagers will switch to something “more difficult”, for example, to performances by Steve Reich, Fillip Glass and Janet Cardiff or even to “The Killing Machine” ? Here are a few “hard” things to which experiments with “digital drugs” can lead.
