Wired Magazine online reports of a concern in Oklahoma on teens getting high from MP3 digital audible tones. This was first reported from Oklahoma News 9.
Music tracks purchased from online dealers are believed to offer the same affects as marijuana, cocaine, peyote or opium. The report explains that the sounds are bi neural or two-tone technology designed to alter brain waves and mental conditions. Oklahoma officials are more concerned that it could lead teens into looking for an even greater high and actually try real drugs. "Kids are going to flock to these sites just to see what it is about and it can lead them to other places,” Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs spokesman Mark Woodward informed News 9.
One track is available on YouTube titled, Gates of Hades (Listen at your own discretion.) I listened to the first few minutes through my computer speakers to the sounds of vibrating tones suddenly varying high and low. I would think such possible effects could be due to being enveloped in the sounds (when wearing headphones) while the mind wonders what's going on around them, possibly causing paranoia or other mental reactions.
This subject reminds me of the classic psychological moment in A Clockwork Orange when Alex played by Malcolm McDowell is being rehabilitated. That's something I don't want to experience.
