Mmm, manufactured outrage. Gotta love the “gateway drug” argument. I can see this being an awesome sci-fi plot though. ---

It’s called “music” and people have been using it for _years_. ---

I’m pretty sure the music therapy my daughter does is related to this somehow. She listens to modified music CDs twice a day for an hour and it’s been amazingly successful for her language development. She’s advanced almost a full year since her last speech re-eval in February. Of course she doesn’t get stoned on it. . . ---

Yeah, this and truck stop “K2” are keeping me happy. Really. Okay , not really. ---

I figured this would be one of those hypnosis videos that are really, really popular. They have nothing to do with the binaural system, though. It’s just plain old hypnosis. ---

Um…Wasn’t this a plot of a Japanese comic?? I can’t remember the name of it and if it weren’t packed away, I’d go look for it.
