Logging on to get high.
Teenagers around the world are getting high on the internet, thanks to MP3s that induce a state of ecstasy. And it could be a gateway drug leading teens to real-world narcotics.
At least, that is what several news networks are reporting about a phenomenon called 'i-dosing', which involves finding an online dealer who can hook you up with 'digital drugs' that get you high through your headphones.
And officials are taking it very seriously.
I-dosing involves donning headphones and listening to 'music' — largely a droning noise — which the sites peddling the sounds promise will get you high. Teens are listening to such tracks as 'Gates of Hades', which is available on YouTube gratis (yes, the first one is always free).
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.

Notice the Satanic inclinations of the Brainwave Entertainment videos... bad news.
