I-Dosing

Digital drugs are a joke. After watching a ten minute youtube video, I-Dosing Psychedelic Drugs, it became blatantly obvious that there weren't any noticeable changes in my body - I felt sober. Having said that, I really could not understand how I-Dosing is becoming a legitimate concern discussed by parents, educators, psychologists and beyond.

Looking to find out more, I decided to see what else I could find. I came across a short CBS News clip that explored the phenomenon and ultimately dismissed it as a serious problem. The special did, however, suggest I-Dosing could be a gateway drug in that children who I-Dose may want to experience what the real thing feels like.

Either way, it seems like a simple (yet seemingly complex based on the mashed up sights and sounds) way to make money off uninformed, curious individuals. The site, http://www.i-doser.com/, sells mp3 files that "mimic" all different kinds of drugs - heroin, LSD and marijuana to name a few. The site claims to be "The industry leader in binaural brainwave audio doses to powerfully alter your mood." If you're looking to get high, hit them up, legally, on Facebook, Myspace or Twitter! (If they're using social media they must be legit, right?)

For someone unaware of the improbability of getting high off sights and sounds and easily seduced by arbitrary words like "binaural," it might be easy to be duped into purchasing some digital drugs. Moreover, the site brands itself as somewhat counterculture and underground. They also suggest purchasing I-Doser tested headphones in order to maximize the high.

Overall, it seems like a waste of time and a massive scam. Now that I've spent some time venting about how pointless digital drugs are, getting all hot and bothered, I think I'm going to go chill out at Library Mall. Hempfest, Madison's 40th Annual Marijuana Festival, is going down all day - LEGALIZE!
