Nick Ashton, founder of I-Doser, described his product as 'a safe, effective, and proven method to achieve a simulated moon or experience in many avenues of life, be it sleep therapy, mood alteration, and many other positive simulations.' The MP3, or doses, are also inexpensive: users can try (among other things) an orgasm for $3.95, LSD for $4.50, steroids for $3, or cocaine for $3.75, without ingesting a single chemical or even leaving the house. This type of sound, known as a binaural beat, could theoretically be used to tune a user's brain activity to what it would have been if that person had taken a specific drug or had some experience, allowing the brain to reach the same altered state on its own.

The thought is that if you play a sound of say 370 hertz in one ear and 378 hertz in the other ear, the brain will perceive the 8 hertz difference and be entertained. When someone is very relaxed, this pattern slows and the person will begin to show activity 8 to 12 hertz.

'Under normal waking conditions, will tend to oscillate at around 12 to 30 cycles per second, or hertz. William Robinson, an assistant professor at the LSU School of Public Health and a PhD in psychology, the overall premise of I-Doser has been around since the late 1800s and is relatively simple. With major press starting to take notice and usage increasing every day, a growing body of anecdotal evidence would seem to point to the program holding an actual ability to create altered states.Īccording to Dr. Though this may sound impossible, I-Doser boasts hundreds of testimonials and trip reports on its website, and a simple web search turns up legions of YouTube videos of loyal users during and after their experiences. By listening to MP3 files purchased from I-Doser's website, users claim to be able to replicate the effects of of drugs, alcohol, and even physical or sexual experiences simply by plugging in a pair of headphones. That's where I-Doser, a completely legal software program comes in. Whether it's from the junior high student eyeing his dad's Jack on the rocks or an otherwise law-abiding citizen wondering what cocaine feels like, it's human nature to want to experiment, especially if there are alternatives offering the same experience with no physical or legal risk. As with anything forbidden, there will always be a level of curiosity that accompanies the existence of controlled substances.
