Acid may become the new way singers get their perfect pitch. in order to get "perfect pitch", singers must take a drug that consists of Valproate or valproic acid. This drug is normally used as a mood-stabilizer, but now they are saying it helps tremendously with identifying pitch. This drug also has another interesting use. It could be used for helping people learn a second language. I think that this discovery is really cool, but I also think it could be a little harmful. If people are taking a drug to help identify pitch or help them learn a second language, some might go overboard and take too many. Valproate has side-effects including headache, joint pains, loss in appetite. It is not that dangerous, but taking too many could potentially cause death. If we keep this drug dose down to a minimum, this could be very successful. I know I would love to learn a second language.
