Haven't done it and I don't believe in it.
At any rate if you want to get high why not use normal narcotics? They've been used for hundreds of years guarantying real effects.
hahahaha only $4 eh? Who could pass that up?!
shit I agree... put that crap on schedule 1 asap and bust anyone who tries it.. They're obviously too stupid to function in society!
It does work if you want to relax and are willing to let it work. if you're sceptical it wont work at all. just like religion. either god exists or it doesn't. I tried it long long long ago and it did work mainly cause i was already in a semi-relaxed state.

yeah.. typing "placebo" would have saved you a lot of trouble.

Not really.
Cause if you know it's a placebo it won't work at all.
If you want it to work it still wont work cause you use the term placebo.
If you're unaware of it being a placebo there's a 50/50 chance it'll work.
this on the other hand can work even if you call it a placebo.
You just let it work. Simple as that.
Nah man.. it won't work if you don't expect it to work (though it's hard to know what your subconscious might expect). However, even if you know it has no real physiological effect and still think it might work, it might actually work. That's the very definition of a placebo. That's not to say the placebo effect isn't real.
Music has definitely an effect on a person, it has been proven that classical music helps with relaxing and that it's beneficial to listen to that kind of music if you're studying.
But this seems kinda too fake. I dk, I would never do it, seems kinda silly...

Indeed it has!
Classical music can only go so far, epic music on the other hand...

I have no idea what this is...
And there's no thingie in the poll going "I have no clue what this is".
Thought of adding that option but then everybody would of hit that. So I said google it yourself.
I haven't done it. Not many applications are out there for mac. Got one running on terminal and it was a huge pain in the ass. No headphones and didn't doit, just got it working.
I came across this because I started downloading guided meditations for relaxing and dreaming. Those I swear really helped me sleep and I found I was more relaxing during the day. That just could of been because I slept good.
I don't want to get high off this shit so I have been poking around looking for ones that could help with depression but the emphasis seems to be on getting high.
I don't believe that these really get you high, but I think they could influence a more relaxed state or hyper state.
I do believe that some of these guided meditations using binural beats/brain waves work through repetitive positive inforcement. God knows I hear enough negative shit in my daily life.
Thanks too all the people that have posted so far.
I've seen in a 1000 ways to die show that some guy used to sell i dosing audio files and that a military made sound file he stole killed him, made him bleed out of every hole in his body.
no more real than the late 60's craze of "funky colored posters and images in a black light room getting you high by looking at them"
that "man you got to look IN the picture, not at the picture..its a mind trip" crap.
people will react how the think they are suppose to react, mind over matter. if they go into it believing it will do something, they are expecting something, and the 'mysteriousness" of it being a trigger that causes the mind to react. so its their own mind causing it (if they get a reaction) not the medium itself doing it.
like the people that believe the pyramids have some 'other worldy power" and when near them they can "feel this power". much like people in church can feel the presence of god if they believe in it. they themselves are causing the reaction.
as i like to say "lack of information spurs the imagination". as the people don't know anything about it other than "somehow it makes you trip balls, its a mysterious unknown cause" they go into it with a bias in believing it works.
placebo effect and all that
