Download an MP3, and feel the effect of any street drug you fancy

Mind-altering drugs, without the side-effects? Count us in, as long as we don't have to meet some shady character down a smelly back-alley.

Companies such as i-Doser are springing up across the internet, who claim to use "proven, scientific and safe methods of synchronising your brainwaves" to bring on feelings of certain drugs. All through the use of binaural beats, buried within MP3s and CDs.

People have been playing with differences within the pulses of binaural beats - or, sound waves - since the 1930s, with many reports claiming that you can manipulate your brain to bring on specific moods. Users of noise-cancelling headphones can quite often feel the effects of the sound waves, often reporting a light-headedness or dizziness with specific models.

Instead of forking out £200 for a pair of Bose cans, i-Doser claims you can get a similar experience from their MP3s, which offers certain sounds that mimic feelings brought on by your average street drugs.

For £9.34, i-Doser will sell you the Recreational Simulations 1 MP3 pack, which contains four "doses" in MP3 format, each provoking the feeling of a different street drug. Effects often gained from the use of marijuana, cocaine, opium and peyote are promised in these doses, with each audio track containing their "advanced binaural beats that will synchronise your brainwaves to the same state as the recreational dose".

Of course, some may protest and say that they're merely psychosomatic, and that if users want to feel the effect of marijuana, they'll conjure the feelings up. Still, there's only one way to find out, but don't blame us when you're stuck in a k-hole in London's seediest gay bar.
