Teens in Oklahoma and other states are experimenting with what they say is a new way to get high: listening to online music and tones that they say can cause a drug-like state of euphoria.
The youths plug into what they call ‘i-dosers’ by putting on headphones and downloading music and tones that create a supposed drug-like euphoria, according to some school officials.
The technology is designed to combine a tone in each ear to create a binaural beat designed to alter brainwaves.
iDosing. Could give a whole new meaning to DWi. Makes on wonder how the police will conduct a roadside ‘sobriety’ test for DWi? Seems to be a normal state for some kids I’ve seen lately.
Perhaps it’s just me, but I cannot give much credence to this.
This sounds like that time that someone told me that I’d get high if I put a whole tin of nutmeg into a glass of water and drank it all in one gulp.
Yeah, that didn’t work either.
I think that “high” is the wrong word. Mellow, calm, sedate all seem to be more the state of mind. Possibly there may be increased sleepiness with the enhanced relaxation. Unless they have epilepsy, I don’t see this as a particularly harmful thing.
4, it is harmful precisely because it is a “drug,” and “drug-mindedness- is a lasting and inherent evil because it encourages dependency on “drugs” of any sort to alter the mind for the sake of pleasure. L
Hi Larry,
I think I understand where you are coming from, but if someone were to call “Air on the G String” a drug because they feel good after listening to it…well, that doesn’t make it a drug. Music is not pharmikia. Listening to various tones is just that; listening. If that’s the worst thing kids get into; well it sure beats Twisted Sister.
Looking at soothing colors or listening to soothing music or tones just doesn’t seem to be all that big a deal to me.
