Could you imagine yourself getting “high” without consuming any piece of drug at all? A very odd underground practice has been held
through a couple of years among the young American people and caught the
attention of parents, teachers and politics.
This praxis is called “I-Dosing” which consists
of downloading or getting a record from an online dealer who can hook you up
with “digital drugs” that can get you high through headphones of quality.
Regarding I-Dosing, people can get induced into a state of ecstasy trough “music” (a large droning noise). This phenomenon has been massified among thousands of American adolescents but the most “addicted” state, regarding figures from SAMSHA (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration), is Oklahoma.
According
to the spokesman of the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs of Oklahoma,
Mark Woodward, he says that kids are going to flock to these sites to see what
it is about and it can led them to other dangerous sites. Some schools of the
forename state have taken strong decisions in order to prevent their children from
getting addicted to this practice as the ban of Ipod’s in classes.
For the ones who wants to get those drugs
supplement which may produce the same effects of marihuana, peyote or cocaine, can
find them easily on Internet. The potential digital drug users are advised to
buy a 40-page guide so they learn how to get high properly.
What about you? Would you prove this new way of getting high? And if you are a drug consumer, would you go for the digital version of marihuana effects?

WOW, I had no idea about this. It is interesting the way people find new ways for avoiding laws and harm themselves, but the worrying aspect is that this type of drug is even reachable by children as now a day almost everyone has a computer and internet access in their homes.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was in high school, I heard of it and I was really curious about if it would work, so I tried it, but nothing happened. I guess I didn't have good-quality headphones.
ReplyDeleteIt is worrying if children are getting addicted to this kind of "digital" drug, because, as Constanza said, almost everyone has access to internet nowadays. It would be good to ban the sites where you can download this new way of getting "high". It is also parent's responsibilty to teach their children the detrimental effects of drugs, and prevent them from using them.
