Teens who want to get high the digital way (also called i-Dosing) are listening to certain songs with binaural tones while lying down with their eyes closed. The tones supposedly alter their brain waves and give them an estatic feeling that's being compared to reactions from illicit drugs - everything from marijuana to cocaine.
Don't take my word for it, though. Listen to the i-Dosing track Gates of Hades and experience it for yourself. To me, it's somewhere between calming, dizzying and boring. Not to sound square, but you can get a bigger emotional reaction from me by playing the right Cat Stevens song.
Some parents are worried that i-Dosing is a gateway drug, which I think is silly. If you're the type of person who, in 20 yeras, will think it's a great idea to try heroin, then you'll probably be game to try digital drugs now. But there's no reason why it should work the other way around. And besides, binaural tones like these have been used as an anti-anxiety treatment for years.
What do you think? Are digital drugs going to be the next big thing to invade your high school and destroy your innocence?
A teen who loves music is always going to listen to music no matter what. “Digital Drugs” is something today’s society comes up with and just makes a big deal about LISTENING TO MUSIC! Seriously everyone it is just music! It’s not the next “drug”. It’s life. It’s the soundtrack to your first kiss, I’m sure you listened to something after this event. I’m trying to say that music is always going to be there and you can’t deny a person music, what if they are destined to be something great in the music business but when they were 15 you took it away because you as a parent or adult was afraid it would cause him harm? Now instead of fulfilling greatness he has to settle for the life you created, not the life HE would have created. Music is a friend when no one else listens, it’s comforting. Not a “threat”. So really? Stop making a big deal out of nothing. It’s getting old media. Just saying.
So if a song causes you to feel emotions and feelings it’s a drug?! Guess all the good music should be banned…
I-dosing is a safe way to answer kids curiositys about drugs,it can’t be that bad..
This is just a new extension of “trance beats” which do a similar thing, but in a different route. Either way, It isn’t dangerous, unless they happen to not be able to hear a fire alarm going off over the sound, but in that case, it woldn’t matter if it was a binaural code, or regular music.
Uh, wow. This is probably retarded as hearing my grandma say that she thinks my boyfriend might be doing drugs because he got grounded for bad grades and has long hair. (He has dark circles under his eyes, but that’s genetic)
And my boyfriend’s one of the most anti-drug people I know, and also extremely perceptive and aware. Uh, sorry, but most drug addicts aren’t particularly perceptive or aware of anything.
