"Digital Drugs: Is your child getting high on the Internet?"

Nicole Brochu discusses a new form of getting high, iDosing.  Teens are taking hits off of the Internet - getting high off of a drug that gives thrill-seekers various forms of ecstasy.  Brochu relates the article to herself by saying she's too old to be testing out these kiddy drugs online - she'd rather alter her mood with a bottle labeled "Chardonnay."  However, what Brochu is most interested in is the fact that the site is not only offering the digital drugs, it is pushing them, even pushing them to push!  It is broadcasting that pushers make THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS!


Brochu's exigence is that kids are getting addicted to this, and it could cause other addictions, which could be fatal.
She brings up many supports to her argument that these drugs are bad. 

• i-Dosing can become a legal gateway to more serious foolery
•  websites making a ransom of the gullible
• altering your brainwave
• kids may turn to other inexpensive, illegal methods of drugs

Brochu ends her article with a rhetorical question, asking her audience what the digital drugs are going to open doors to. "This binaural business is creating a buzz alright. But my question is, what else is it creating?" She's begging the question: "What else are these drugs going to cause?  An addiction to other illegal drugs?"
