I-Dosing: Can You Get High Off Digital Drugs?

Recently, stories about "i-dosing" have been trending all over the Internet.

Wired described this buzz phrase involving "headphones and listening to 'music'--largely a droning noise--(and) sites peddling the sounds promise will get you high. Teens are listening to such tracks as 'Gates of Hades,' which is available on YouTube gratis (yes, the first one is always free)."

At a small price, there are also sites like i-doser.com/ and i-dose.us, which sell these mp3s claiming to simulate certain moods and drugs. But these sounds, otherwise known to experts as binaural beats, are nothing new. They were an effect discovered by Heinrich Wilhelm Dove in 1839.
