PSA: Public Service Announcement (yeah right :lol:)
I'm bored at work, and decided to do a random google search. I don't know why, but decided to type in "digital". One of the suggestions that popped up was "digital drugs". I got interested and clicked it. What I found blew my mind...

Best explanation I found of this sutff in 5min. of searching.

Turns out that a while ago (maybe three to four months tops), raves and rants about these binaural beats/sounds were a possible gateway drug. Is it true? I doubt it. The branches of this stuff root back to 1839, when they used sound waves to enhance a person's mood, help with pain, etc., by "altering brain waves". I think it's possible to achieve these proclaimed effects with a little bit of booze and a roofie while listening to this stuff. I don't know... I know they've also treated some insomniacs with aural treatment, maybe time to see if my insomnia can kick the music's ass???
What do you guys think about this stuff? Do you really think they can master sound waves to make you feel like your dropping some acid, rolling, and cracked out? I doubt it. Maybe you guys tried it out of sheer curiosity, expecting it to be a hoax? you guys think this could be the next gateway drug, and I should stock up on these files so I can sell them on the street corner? Let me hear your thoughts guys!
