I-Doser Is Allegedly Like Drugs For Your Ears, I Am (Un)Surprisingly Very, Very Skeptical

I-Doser is some program you download and it plays music that synchronizes with your brainwaves or something and makes you feel like your own drugs. I could be completely wrong here, because I didn't actually read anything about it, but I'll post some of their captivating marketing bullshit here:

Using proven, scientific, and safe methods of synchronizing your brainwaves, a simulated state can be achieved through the use of our advanced Binaural Methods.

I-Doser for the PC is the most advanced computer application available to achieve a simulated mood or experience through the use of binaural beats. Use I-Doser to play doses purchased through the I-Doser store. Each Dose is scientifically designed to give you the optimal measure of beats Safely and Effectively to induce state.

Now maybe someone can explain that to me. I didn't download the program (despite the two free dose offer), so this isn't a definitive review. However, my tipster (who I have never met but would definitely trust with my life) had this to say about the experience:

i tried "marijuana" and i bashed my head open on a shelf! ahhaha

Well after hearing that I decided that I would at least listen to a few of the I-Doser sample tracks. So I clicked "Sample" button and then selected "Trip". I'm pretty sure it was ripped directly from a Sounds of the Rainforest CD. Then I tried "Orgasm", which was a track of a woman making sounds unlike anything I've ever heard. And no, it's not because I suck in the sack, although I do. It's just because I had a bad experience with an over-talkative ex-girlfriend (read: monster pie-hole, nonstop yap attack) and now date mute chicks exclusively.
