I-Dosing: How teenagers are getting ‘digitally high’ from music they download from internet<\/h1>\n

They put on their headphones, drape a hood over their head and drift off into the world of \u2018digital highs\u2019.<\/p>\n

Videos posted on YouTube show a young girl freaking out and leaping up in fear, a teenager shaking violently and a young boy in extreme distress.<\/p>\n

This is the world of \u2018i-Dosing\u2019, the new craze sweeping the internet in which teenagers used so-called \u2018digital drugs\u2019 to change their brains in the same way as real-life narcotics.<\/p>\n

\"Reaction:<\/p>\n

Reaction: A teenage boy looks in a state of distress as he listens to an ‘I-Dose’<\/p>\n

They believe the repetitive drone-like music will give them a \u2018high\u2019 that takes them out of reality, only legally available and downloadable on the Internet.<\/p>\n

The craze has so far been popular among teenagers in the U.S. but given how easily available the videos are, it is just a matter of time before it catches on in Britain.<\/p>\n

Those who come up with the \u2018doses\u2019 claim different tracks mimic different sensations you can feel by taking drugs such as Ecstasy or smoking cannabis.<\/p>\n

The reactions have been partially sceptical but some songs have become wildly popular, receiving nearly half a million hits on YouTube.<\/p>\n

Under one called \u2018Shroom\u2019, Berecz wrote: \u2018just listened to this… at the beginning I began to see some blinking light (while eyes closed), then the pitch went up and I began to feel that Im sinking into my chair…as the pitch went down I began to feel confident, and very relaxed, and I dont want to stand up from my chair and I dont want to say any words…\u2019<\/p>\n

Not everyone is taking i-Dosing seriously – some YouTube videos show young adults \u2018i-Dosing\u2019 on Neil Diamond and mocking the whole phenomenon.<\/p>\n
