Digital Drugs

I was recently reading on a tech blog, and a reference to something called iDosing was in an article that I was reading. At first I thought it was some new Apple Product, so I looked up what it was, and as it turns out it had nothing to do with Apple or a new product added to the iProduct line. It was a reference to a new way that teens are taking in drugs, digitally.

To iDose you listen to long mp3 tracks that are sold through an iDealer that can be found online. It is believed that certain sounds and music combination can have similar reactions to your body as Cocaine, Meth, Exctacy, and many other hard-core drugs. Instead of consuming the actual drug, teens can consume the drug in the form of sound & music.

It's in schools located in Oklahoma. Kids are bringing their iDrugs with them on their iPods, and teachers are taking the issue very seriously. A letter was sent out to all parents in specific school districs that are prone to the iDrug usage notifying them of the recent iDrug craze and the dangers of it.

It is interesting to note the prices of these digital drugs, they actually range anywhere from $2 to hundreads of dollars. Many websites selling the iDrugs have sprung up over the last few months claiming to sell high-quality drug facts, some of which have even created a new audio file for intaking the digital drugs, .drg.

Along with the drugs is also a large guide on how to use them. The guide can be purchased from this link https://sites.fastspring.com/idoser/instant/guide for $12.95 and will teach you all that you need to know on the new trend. I share this link only as a refrence to the manual and the price of it, and by no means am I reccomending that you purchase or read it.

There is much debate right now on wheither iDosing can actually get someone high or have strong affects on the human body. My personal opion is that it's just a new scam meant to make money off of a digital product that has a high profit margin. I do not believe that it is something that parents need to worry about, but they should probably teach their kids how dumb it is to spend $1,000 on an mp3 track that promises to get you high like marijuana.
