Recently, teenagers around the country are getting high on the Internet, thanks to “digital drugs,” or audio tracks that supposedly bring about the same effects of real-life narcotics. To get a “digital high,” users simply need an Internet connection, a pair of headphones, and a link to an I-Dosing audio/video file. Through the use of particular binaural beats, such as unique pitches and sounds, the I-Dosing videos simulate the effects of real-life narcotics and the I-Dosers “get high.” Personally, I think I-Dosing is a silly phenomenon that produces no real-life effects.
After watching a popular I-Dosing video, “Psychedelic Sound,” I now realize just how ridiculous this phenomenon is. For five minutes, I started at my computer and listened to the unique sounds and pitches, waiting for my “digital high” to begin. Unfortunately, when the video ended, I was not high. Instead, I sat at my computer, completely lucid, and began writing this post. Although the I-Dosing video had absolutely no effect on my mental state, I’m interested to see if someone does get “high” after watching an I-Dosing video.
Hey Kim--I agree with your post. I am also impressed with just how lucid you seem to be. I would also like to see if someone does get high after watching this because I do not believe that you can. Hopefully somebody did and they will be very descriptive in regards to their experience so we can determine what type of feelings can actually come about from this i-dosing phenomenon!
