I-dosing (mp3s that will make you high as substitute for drugs)
In this age of technology, it’s not surprising that entrepreneurs are trying to create a way to get high online. The result is a phenomenon called “I-dosing,” which attempts to alter consciousness via sound. The Internet craze has teens plugging in their headphones to listen to downloadable MP3s that are said to have effects akin to getting high on actual drugs. There are various tracks designed to elicit the same “high” as specific drugs. Anywhere from five to 30 minutes long, the tracks consist of binaural beats, in which the tone of one frequency is played into the right ear and a slightly different frequency is played in the left ear. While some parents have expressed concern that the trend could lead to future use of other narcotics, researchers say that I-dosing itself is harmless.
In 2010, tech blogs started reporting on kids getting high using mp3s that induce feelings of ecstasy. It’s digital drugs and it was deemed “iDosing,” by News 9 in Oklahoma City, OK. Kids were apparently logging into certain sites and getting hooked up with free “doses” of audio files with names like “Gates of Hades.”
