Get messed up with I-Doser
Anyone who has been on the Internet for any amount of time has undoubtedly stumbled across something that sounds like a scam. Nigerian bankers, p-p-p-powerbooks, get rich quick schemes, there seems to be no end to suspicious products and services online.When we first heard about I-Doser, we were understandably skeptical. The makers of this program sell "doses" for it, which are basically scripts that help the program generate a series of binaural beats to simulate various effects in the user. Some of the doses include Alcohol, Cocaine, Heroin, and "designer doses" such as Hand of God.
The free download of I-Doser includes the alcohol dose as a free demo, so we fired it up, almost expecting it to be a screamer or RickRoll. Instead, our ears were assaulted with the ordered chaos that is binaural beats. We patiently listened to the entire dose, stood up, and proceeded to sit back down rather sloppily. Amazingly enough, the dose did what it claimed!
Whether or not this program is powered by the placebo effect or real science is certainly debatable, but with a free trial and no known risks, this is a download worth trying. If nothing else, it's sure to make alcohol and drug deprived teens happy. I-Doser is only available for Windows, but it runs just fine in WINE (it even rhymes!).

Haha, I just tried the Ecstacy file. I wasn't able to listen to the entire thing, but after about 10 minutes I started seeing things o.O My friend showed me it, and I must say that it is unbelievable, the effect. I greatly recommend it ^_^

It gave me a headache when I did it. I wasn't in an optimum environment though. I'll have to give it another try sometime.

I just gave it a go with the cocaine dose and I have to say it does a decent job. Obviously it wasn't precise (not that I would know *cough cough*) but pretty amazing for just a sound file. To get optimum results you need to sit in the dark and listen to the entire track, which could be tough for the impatient.
I'm not sure what purpose this will serve in the real world but one application may be to help loved ones of addicted people a chance to safely "experience" what their addicted peer goes through a little.
