i-Dosing: ‘Digital drug’ craze sparks safety alert

A DISTURBING new trend has seen teenagers using “digital drugs”.

So-called i-Dosing sees users listening to audio files which are claimed to induce drug-like effects.

The “doses” consist of extended binaural tones that are claimed to synchronise with brainwaves to create a simulated mood or experience. Videos have appeared on YouTube showing young people reacting badly to the experience.
