    "Those who want to get addicted to the “drugs” can purchase tracks that will purportedly bring about the same effects of marijuana, cocaine, opium and peyote. While street drugs rarely come with instruction manuals, potential digital drug users are advised to buy a 40-page guide so that they learn how to properly get high on MP3s."

    This is the dumbest thing I have heard of in my life.

    I'm still trying to figure out how the instructions fill 40 pages... Load the song, listen to it... Maybe they put one letter on each page...?
    There is no genuine justice in any scheme of feeding and coddling the loafer whose only ponderable energies are devoted wholly to reproduction. Nine-tenths of the rights he bellows for are really privileges and he does nothing to deserve them. We not only acquired a vast population of morons, we have inculcated all morons, old or young, with the doctrine that the decent and industrious people of the country are bound to support them for all time.-Menkin

    And now the original article on Wired:

    Sad, honestly.

    Discuss as you may.

    It's reverse psychology. They got meth-heads in the woods here that would make Freddy Kruger cry for his mama.

    Well, I guess these guys are onto something 'new'? It's not like religions around the world haven't known that SOUND can ALTER consciousness in a spiritual sense for thousands of years. Next time anyone attends a 'church' or a synagogue or temple better watch out you don't get addicted to (_______)--don't pray, chant or sing too loudly in rhythm!
