Digital Drugs Become Popular with Teenagers
A Warning to Parents
Digital drugs are not something new. They first appeared about 7 years ago and they have become quitepopular with young people in the USA and many other countries in the world.
If you have never heard of digital drugs or i-dosing, you should know that even though they are called “drugs”they do not require physical consumption of any kind and they are not substances like cocaine, heroin,marijuana and the like. However, what scientists, parents and educators are afraid of is that they can havedrug-like effects on users, especially the young ones.

Based on the principle of sound production through binaural beats and isochronic tones, digital drugs usethese sounds to pulsate differently in order to stimulate both the left and the right parts of the brain and alterits brainwaves. Young people can easily access such sounds on several websites, download them either forfree or by paying a small amount of money and listen to them using a good pair of headphones while they arecomfortably sitting or lying down.
As the brain receives one tone through the left headphone and another tone through the right one, itcombines the two different tones into a third tone which is only perceived by the brain, not the ears.

What Can Be Done?
Since digital drugs are not illegal and they are free for everyone to download, the only way parents canapproach the problem is by informing young people about the potential dangers of such use. They should alsobe vigilant of their children’s change in behavior and of the material they download from the internet.
On the other hand, teachers can organize talks with their students or invite a specialist to school to give morefacts to students about this digital threat.
