I-Dosing

I've listened to the tracks before, but I've never felt any effects. Anything a person feels is probably psychosomatic.
me too--it's not nearly as much of a problem as people think it is lol
The only thing it did for me was once I fell asleep listening to one and I had a nightmare (which I guess isn't uncommon) but no, you don't get high.

I'd like to see the news reports of kids getting a high feeling while doing homework--you'd have kids doing homework like you wouldn't believe! I'll probably use that one on my kid when I have one
 
music CAN elicit altered states of consciousness in conjunction with meditiative practice. i don't see how this is new at all - haven't they ever heard of tangerine dream?

get yourself some softsynths to play with and you can get way higher making your own music than any of the "iDose" tracks i heard... automatically
 
I'll post the same thing here as I did on a friends facebook:

wow, I can't believe people are getting upset over TONES. That is amazing to me. I've used some of the idoser files and frankly I don't think it's real. Sure, brain waves present during sleep, drug trips, etc. are measured in the 2,4, 10 Hz frequencies ranges, and yes two tones a few Hz apart will create beat frequency in those ranges... but what on earth do those two things have to do with each? There's no proof that hearing those tones is in any way related to corresponding brain activity. I think it's a fallacy.
 
I think it is a gateway drug. After I tried it, I felt like having a beer :confused:

Yeah, its a slippery slope.

At first you are just listening to the radio, then you get hooked on music and you need the stuff, watch out, as this will lead you to start drinking.

And everyone knows how well Cigs go with beer, so you'll get hooked on them. Since your smoking something already now you will probably get hooked on weed (because thats soo addictive).

Next thing you know you wake up in a dumpster with needles all over the place.




Music, not even once!
