A new craze that supposedly allows you to get high, simply by listening to mp3 tracks in your headphones is sweeping across the internet.

Known as 'i-Dosing', it involves donning headphones and listening to “music” — largely a droning noise — which the sites peddling the sounds promise will get you high. Teens are listening to such tracks as 'Gates of Hades'.

Predictably, the craze is already generating hysteria in parent and policing groups.

“Kids are going to flock to these sites just to see what it is about and it can lead them to other places,” Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs spokesman Mark Woodward said.


Allegedly these tracks - when listened to in isolation and at high volume - bring about the same effects of marijuana, cocaine, opium and peyote, although these claims have yet to be substantiated

Here’s a video of someone getting a healthy i-Dose.
