Pretty weird... I heard of this a while ago but brushed it off. Has anybody ever tried this?

I listened to one and it didn't really make me feel any different. At one point the tone changed abruptly and it was kind of shocking, but that's it.

I know. Just another stupidity that the young will fall for and think they are cutting edge.

Maybe I should put up some internet news that a mouthful of raw sewage will "make you cosmically aware'. I bet some idiots would go for it.

Yeah, this is stupid.

However, the dumber part is the Bureau of Narcotics official who thinks that this is a gateway drug.

Seriously? Yeah, kids are going to listen to this and then the next thing you know, they're in an alley turning tricks for crack. I don't think so.

I've listened to the tracks before, but I've never felt any effects. Anything a person feels is probably psychosomatic.

Guys. Binaurial stimulation is part of a practice known as sensory deprivation. Blindfold yourself, lay down and try to move as little as possible while listening to the track. Turn off all the lights in your place and make sure the only thing you can hear is the track.

The human brain simply cannot process nothing. It always has to be doing something. It's why we dream. You'll begin to get visual hallucinations... but the effect is only -just- more vivid than your normal imagination. Try it. It's not fake.

Oh wow, changing peoples mindset via music, what a shockingly original concept!


/sarcasm



Edit - And with that statment, it is some sort of irony that Pink Floyds "Breathe" comes on the radio.

I had a friend do it a while back and he said it worked, but while I trust the guy I really don't put much belief in this sort of thing and have no desire to do it myself to find out.

It works, thats what music does, invoke an emotional response in the listener.

I was at a large festival last summer and one of the most packed booths was the oxygen bar. People paying $10-20 to sit on a stool and take a few tokes off a tube supposedly supplying them oxygen. Ridiculous.

We got people roped into paying $5 or more for a bottle of water, we got people paying big money to have rocks and dirt dumped in their yard for landscaping, and the latest racket is to make people pay for air.

I've heard of people paying up to $200 for a single I-Dose track (one called "Hand of God" I think).

ABSURD!

Do they not realise how many hits of acid you can get for $200?

Then you can listen to your own music and have just as much fun (probably a lot more)

I've tried it, for free. Nothing special. It's all a bunch of bull. I've tried a few of them too. They make you feel "funny" but the marijuana one does not equate to the actual drug. (I'm not saying I've ever tried it *wink wink*)

If you want to try it, go ahead, I think I still have some of the tracks sitting around, and if not I can get them. Just PM me if you want them.

This doesn't even work. I tried it. It feels weird for a few minutes, and as soon as you turn it off it goes away.

Makes you fall asleep real quick, however.

Seeing as how you can get iDoser (and all the files it comes with) from every single torrent site ever, that's just dumber.
