Would you believe us if we told you that there’s this new drug out there that was completely free and completely legal? Probably not…and hell…we wouldn’t believe ourselves either! Apparently, there’s this new form of drug that’s making the rounds with people and especially among the teens. You don’t inject it, you don’t swallow it, you don’t snort it…you can’t even smoke it! But apparently this new drug will get you high as a kite. You’re probably thinking, “Wow…Potpotato! Where can I get me some of that shit so I can blow my mind sky high!”. Well stoner and stonerettes, this new form of drug is called iDosing…and to get high…you listen to it!
Your probably now thinking…”WTF Potpotato…I thought you were gonna say something like taking whiffs of horse shit vapours or something.”. Well it’s true guys apparently you can get high off of listening to music…but in our opinion we just call it listening to noise. Check out the clip below called “Gates of Hades”. To do it right, get it on your favorite mp3 player, lay down with a set of headphones, play the track, close your eyes and relax. Too afraid to do it?…don’t worry….Potpotato has put his life on the line for you guys to tell you what he thinks…but before he does that let’s give you some info about iDosing.
First off, although the name may suggest, iDosing has nothing to do with the iPod. These i-whatever names seriously need to stop. Anyways…iDosing was first revealed when kids at Mustang High School in Oklahoma were busted “wasted” on “monotonous, layered sounds in a dark room”. Now we don’t know the condition they were in when they were caught “wasted”, but I’d assume it’s probably like this guy iDosing in the video below.
To us this just looks like a dude doing the best “stranger” of his life. What’s “The Stranger” you ask? According to urban dictionary its “To lay on one’s arm so as to deny the passage of blood and ultimately loose feeling in the limb, followed by the act of masturbation with said limb.” Still don’t get it? Maybe the video below will help.
Ok…enough of the stranger stuff…back to business. So how does this iDosing work? Well, from what we can gather…which is not much (hey what do you expect from potheads…lots of hard work?)…the sounds are suppose to simulate binaural brainwaves. Well what the hell is that suppose to mean? Well what it basically means is, it simulates brainwaves through sounds. So to take it further, what iDosing is actually doing is simulating moods and injecting it into your head through sound. What we kinda figure is it’s trying to alter your brainwaves to match waves of the sound that’s being injected into your head. For example, if you download an iDose track that simulates an adrenaline rush…you should get that feeling when you listen to the track. You guys can learn more about it here…be warned though…NOT SAFE FOR STONERS!
So does it work? Well, when our buddy Potpotato did it…he claimed it worked…but then again…he also smoked a nice fat OG Kush blunt before he tried iDosing himself. Since we can’t really rely on Potpotato’s words (what a pothead!) and we’re not willing to put our lives on the line we found this nice little poll from the I-Doser.com forum.
Looks to be pretty even between the lines of “Hell yea…I’m stoned like a mofo!” to “WTF? People listen to this crap?!?”. In the end, we can’t really say that it would work for us…but apparently it worked for our buddy Potpotato. Judging from the videos…it doesn’t even look like a good high. But if you guys would like to try it out yourselves you can check out more iDose samples from I-Doser.com. But we here at Potpotato.com will prefer to stick to our good old non-digital high. In the meantime check out some other vids of people iDosing and iDosing tracks below…Smoke weed everday!
P.S. We’re definitely not responsible for any injuries you might incur from listening to these iDose tracks!
wow I already have heard about this and have tried it before and never worked, after reading this got curious again and tried gate of hades…. oh jeez i got terrified, this is for real damn i was like the guy in the video, damn I am still nervous lol… if u try it do that till the end, the official one is 30 min long… god damn, awesome lol I am no longer a sceptic lol
HYPNOSIS1. EXACTLY WHAT IS HYPNOSIS?
Hypnosis is a state of altered consciousness that occurs normally in every person just before he enters into a sleep state. In therapeutic hypnosis we prolong this brief interlude so that we can work within its bounds.
2. CAN EVERYBODY BE HYPNOTIZED?
Yes, because it is a normal state that everybody passes through before going to sleep. However, it is possible to resist hypnosis like it is possible to resist going to sleep. But even if one resists hypnosis, with practice the resistance can be overcome.
3. WHAT IS THE VALUE OF HYPNOSIS?
There is no magic in hypnosis. There are some conditions in which it is useful and others in which no great benefit is derived. It is employed in medicine to reduce tension and pain, which accompany various physical problems, and to aid certain rehabilitative procedures. In psychiatric practice it is helpful in short-term therapy, and also, in some cases, in long term treatment where obstinate resistance has been encountered.
4. WHO CAN DO HYPNOSIS?
Only a qualified professional person should decide whether one needs hypnosis or could benefit from it. The professional person requires special training in the techniques and uses of hypnosis before he can be considered qualified, and should be certified in Hypnotherapy.
5. WHY DO SOME PEOPLE HAVE DOUBTS ABOUT HYPNOSIS?
Hypnosis is a much-misunderstood phenomenon. For centuries it has been affiliated with spiritualism, witchcraft and various kinds of mumbo jumbo. The exaggerated claims made for it by undisciplined persons have turned some people against it. Some doctors and psychiatrists too doubt the value of hypnosis, because Freud gave it up eighty years ago, and because they themselves have not had much experience with its modern uses.
6. CAN’T HYPNOSIS BE DANGEROUS?
The hypnotic state is no more dangerous than a sleep state. But unskilled operators may give subjects foolish suggestions, such as one often witnesses in stage hypnosis, where the trance is exploited for entertainment purposes. A delicately balanced and sensitive person exposed to unwise and humiliating suggestions may respond with anxiety. On the whole, there are no dangers in hypnosis when practiced by ethical and qualified practitioners.
7. I AM AFRAID I CAN’T BE HYPNOTIZED.
All people go through a state akin to hypnosis before falling asleep. There is no reason why you should not be able to enter a hypnotic state.
8. WHAT DOES IT FEEL LIKE TO BE HYPNOTIZED?
The answer to this is extremely important because it may determine whether or not you can benefit from hypnosis. Some people give up hypnosis after a few sessions because they are disappointed in their reactions, believing that they are not suitable subjects. The average person has the idea that he will go through something different, new and spectacular in the hypnotic state. Often he equates being hypnotized with being anaesthetized, or being asleep, or being unconscious. When in hypnosis he finds that his mind is active; that he can hear every sound in the room; that he can resist suggestions if he so desires; that his attention keeps wandering, his thoughts racing around; that he has not fallen asleep, and that he remembers everything that has happened when he opens his eyes. He believes himself to have failed. He imagines then that he is a poor subject, and he is apt to abandon hypnotic treatment. The experience of being hypnotized is no different from the experience of relaxing and of starting to fall asleep. Because this experience is so familiar to you, and because you may expect something startlingly different in hypnosis, you may get discouraged when a trance is induced. Remember that you are not anaesthetized, you are not unconscious, and you are not asleep. Your mind is active, your thoughts are under your control, you perceive all stimuli, and you are in complete communication with the therapist. The only unique thing you may experience is a feeling of heaviness in your arms, and tingling in your hands and fingers. If you are habitually a deep sleeper, you may doze momentarily. If you are a light sleeper, you may have a feeling you are completely awake.
Xept this aint anything new. I think i still have the software and music (nois) on some old CD laying around here. Can´t remember exactly when “we” talked about it first but at least 4-5 years ago.
