Steal 'em? Piracy and theft are two different things:

I can just imagine what newest program to prevent kids from doing immoral stuff could look like:
"Swap your MP3 for brand new semi - automatic shotgun. Drugs are boring. Have fun killing animals ........ and people, when you finally go postal..."

I could freak out by watching this video -.-

People talking about something without ANY knowledge!!

GET A LIFE YOUR LIARS!

I hope someone stop sharing lies on TV and other media -.-!!

Been there done that ... It's basically rip off. The opium mp3 is exactly the same as something else I don't remember, think it was n2o. Anyways, for some people it does something but not more than a placebo-effect of course.. Do not waste your time and look for some real deal brainwave music.

This ‘iDoser’ thing is just a very crude brainwave entrainment thing, where modulating binaural beats ‘ramp’ your brainwave frequency, typically, down, stimulating more alpha brainwaves, thus inducing an ‘altered’ state of consciousness, which is, however, more like that of meditation than the drugs they are marketing it as.

I’ve downloaded this before, having long been interested in brainwave entrainment and meditation, but as far as these things go, this is one of the more primitive. It is just sine-waves of slightly different frequencies in either ear, causing a psychic acoustic wobbling effect, but while other products do their best to embed this ‘active ingredient’ in e.g. music or speech, here it is just the dry sine-waves, which you need to listen to for up to an hour to get the ‘effect.’

Unpleasant and doubtful many kids will have the patience to invest that kind of time, if they might as well take up meditation. (gotta love how iDoser uses a ‘drg’ extension for its data files, which, if you’re a sucker who actually pays for this stuff, never become your property, but which you have to re-purchase after a few ‘uses,’ just like the real thing. Clever, eh?)

Any hype now is due to obnoxious American Youtube trolls posting video’s pretending to be tripping out, and their moronic parents showing ‘concern’ by contacting their congressman, trash media, and so on, rather than, for once, doing some independent investigation.

We cannot take this risk. MP3 players must be prohibited, or else all the children will become anti-american drug-addicted liberal terrorists. Wonder if these concerned parents even know the difference between heroin and psilocybin. Probably all their model children will learn to drink their brains out with whisky (just like "normal" people do) instead of taking a dangerous, evil, satanic dose of good ol' LSD.

i must admit, i hadnt heard of these till i read this article, and yesterday i spent a lot of time researching them. i also downloaded 100+ 'doses' with the intention of trying some out.
i will try a few and see what its like, but i must admit i'm actually a bit scared. through my reading i read of a few cases where people have gone all screwed up after extensive use (fair enough, that makes sense. i wont do that.) and there is a limited amount of research into these. especially considering the brain is designed to work on a certain frequency, reprogramming it too often cant be great...
still, i am very excited to try them.

even if i would be less anxious about trying a real drug.

i intend on sampling a few pure frequencies then experimenting with 'doses' intended to reproduce the effects of drugs i have already tried. and if they are anything like the real thing (i'm skeptical) i will try the headphone versions of drugs i wouldnt try for real, as a 'safe' alternative.
but i would seriously feel less worried trying real drugs... (and u dont have to lie down in the dark for half an hour!)

I tried this a few days ago. At first I was a bit sceptical about the effect, because of the hype and the whole "unrealistic get high with MP3"-Thing.
I felt something, but it was not even close to a real drug experience. The "trip" lasted only for like one minute and I don't think you can get these hallucinations they advertise with on their website. Besides, I got some serious headache.

So, I just decided to stay with mother natures drugs. Can't do much wrong, and they work fur sure.

Worried parents want a violently enforced ban on...certain compilations of sound frequencies? Western "civilization" for you...

lucvanm - 2010-07-22 14:15:44

There's no such thing as a "gateway drug". It's a type of person that wants to experiment with drugs. If you raise your child well, there's absolutely nothing to worry about. But no, these half-retarded parents and politicians are too stupid to get ANYTHING done without brute force. Try to ban their problems away. Pathetic. Meet the inferior members of our species.

i have been listening this i-doser stuff for months when i was younger. believe me....the media's trippin again

Anders - 2010-07-25 22:21:32

Haha!! It's awesome that the time on the phone they use says 4:20 this is better than Brass Eye!!

Shadowdancer - 2010-07-26 00:51:07

Haha, I found bwgen years ago.
"i-doser" is a ripoff from bwgen, they do the same thing essentially.
Wich equals to nothing at all, it's a hoax 100% and the only effect you'd ever get is a slight headache and sore ears.

this video reminds me so much of the southpark episode "catpee" xD
