I-Dosing on “digital drugs” is Becoming a New Trend
They put on their headphones, drape a hood over their head and drift off into the world of digital highs. 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. This is the world of i-Dosing, the new craze sweeping the internet in which teenagers used so-called digital drugs to change their brains in the same way as real-life narcotics.
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.

The reactions have been partially sceptical but some songs have become wildly popular, receiving nearly half a million hits on YouTube.
