Digital Subliminal Drug Simulants: Good or bad idea?

[JackOfHearts]

You didn't reply to my question Shannon. I have always wondered why you didn't create a sub that can make the user able to control his metabolism at will. Shift state at will, lower your heartbeat at will for example. A sub that make you able to use hypnosis, confident in the fact that you can control every stimuli in your body. To remove all pain for example when you have an horrible headache, all of this at will.

Maybe it's profitable for you?

Well, after getting some thoughts on the matter, here is what I concluded.

In my thought experiment, I considered what would happen if - as doubtless would be the case - someone stupid got their hands on the program. Said moron would of course be under a reasonable age, and would get the brilliant idea that it would be funny to play the program in school, in class, on the school bus, etc. The effects would be noticed, and this would quickly turn into a media scandal, causing the company to be pretty much shut down by the same backlash that created a slew of laws against this sort of thing, without ever really understanding what they were attempting to legislate out of existence.

The end result: yet more illegal "drugs", usable in more situations, by a wider range of people/ages, and no benefit at all besides someone deciding that they like the fact that they can get high at will. Oh, and IML would be a memory, and there would be more laws against subliminals.

Benefit: 1%
Detriment: 99%

So... I have concluded that this is not going to happen.

Why don't you create a sub that make the user able to switch state at will?
This way this kind of problem won't happen. Then with each new sub you introduce a new state like heroin for example.
