I read about a service called I-Doser that was featured in my school paper. It's a site where you purchase tracks out of their database. The unique aspect is that these tracks are all binaural beats, which (without getting into the science behind it) are said to be able to affect the brain's state of consciousness. Each track is named after the drug that it is supposed to replicate, and one called "Crystal Meth" is said to have caused hallucinations and sweats, similar to the actual drug. I have never actually tried these, but there is a lot of interesting information on the FAQ at the site. They even make the bold claim that people have broken their addiction to recreational drugs by substituting these tracks, though I don't see how these would help a physical addiction. Once again, check out the FAQ for some info.

Hmmm....what if you buy it and you get hooked? I can see it now: "Britney back in rehab after suffering from binaural beat addiction".

Well, the reason I brought it up is because of all the potential implications could have. I mean, assuming it works as they say it does, its essentially an undetectable drug. Could you be pulled over for a DUI? They do have a track that is supposed to make your brain function as though it is drunk. So far nobody I have talked to has ever heard of these, but I have seen more than a few online testimonies about the power of the binaural beats.

I guess the addiction to this could probably result in psychosomatic illness, or is this too far fetched? :)
I bet House would find out the cause...

House would just tell us to shut up. :(
