Digital Drugs: The new way teens are getting high
CHARLES, LA (KPLC-TV/WMC-TV) - It's a new trend most adults have not heard of, but it is appearing in some parts of the country: teenagers trying to get a high using nothing more than sounds.
To get these so-called 'digital drugs,' you don't need a street dealer. You don't even need a prescription. All you need to gain access to digital drugs is a computer, a credit card and a pair of headphones.
These sound files are sold by a company known as I-Doser. Starting with just a couple of dollars, anyone can download these sounds, which I-Doser says will alter people's moods, making them feel uplifted, even more confident.
But other sounds promise to make listeners feel like they're on drugs, from cocaine to crystal meth and speed, and everything in between.
These digital sounds are nothing more than binaural beats, which have been around for a long time. Binaural beats are created when two different sounds are played at slightly different frequencies in each ear. The differing frequencies create a pulse sensation, or beats, which some people believe give them the illusion they're on drugs. Binaural beats were created in the 1830's, and have been used in the military and by doctors to help patients with hearing problems.
