Here are my experiences and a few questions I have about I-Doser.

I had been aware of i-Doser for a good while now, but the only thing I had heard was that Gates of Hades was scary as hell, and I only heard that from my friend. I never thought about trying it for myself until recently, when I downloaded the program then my friend gave me his collection he got from wherever. I believe that he gave me the entire collection, including MP3's & DRG's. Here is my experience so far.

These are the ones I tried in order, along with experiences. Normally, I used Skullcandy Hesh headphones to do doses.

MarijuanaQH (DRG) - The first dose I tried. I was in mostly complete darkness and closed my eyes and relaxed. I was surprised, I actually had slight effects for about 30 seconds. Slight numbness and a drowned sense of awareness. Sadly, the effects didn't last very long and I was pretty disappointed.

HashQH (DRG) - No effect whatsoever. ://

Nitrous (MP3) - This one I tried the next day while I was in the car on the way home (mom was driving), I turned it on my iPod and I was using Skullcandy Ink'D earbuds. I felt slightly out of it as it finished, but I wasn't very satisfied with the effects. They weren't very strong at all.

Hand of God (DRG) - The next day, I attempted Hand of God. This was the first one that I felt very noticeable effects on. I experienced a spinning feeling, coldness, slight paranoia, but a strange sense of relaxation. I also felt numbness, some sort of paralysis. I stopped 15 minutes in the dose, because it freaked me out. xD

Lucid Dream (MP3) - I tried this one with Ink'D earbuds, and to no effect. Nothing really differed in my sleep period. ://

Hand of God (DRG) - I made all the way through this time, and it was intense. I thought I heard whispers and such, and I felt like I was being pushed around intensely by invisible hands. It was fun, scary, and slightly relaxing. It was definitely an intense feeling.

Trip (MP3) - Ink'D earbuds and got through 15 minutes with nothing to show for it. I'm going to try this again in a minute with Hesh headphones and the DRG dose.

Lucid Dream (MP3) - Tried it with headphones, but only made it 11 minutes through, because of some weird shit that happened in my house. I heard the sound of a lightbulb breaking and felt a pain in the back of my neck, so I ripped the headphones off and looked around, my heart was beating faster than ever, and all of my lights were off. I sleep in my living room, since I don't feel like sharing my room with my brother, and normally I have the dining room light on low, and my Christmas tree lights never get turned off, so it was weird. I all the light switches showed that they were turned on. Really, I have no clue what happened. Scared the shit out of me though.

That's pretty much the end of my experiences. I have a few questions, though.

1. From my experience, earbuds don't do anything, but headphones work really well. Is that true?

2. Do you need to have your eyes closed, or can you have them open, or even be doing something while listening?

3. Does the Marijuana one give you full feeling of the pretty green bud, or is it more emotional and enlightening rather than physical?

Thanks, guys.

1. Earbuds work for some people but I'd suggest headphones to get the full effect.

2. Having your eyes closed and relaxing puts you in a sleepy mood which makes the dose more effective because you aren't focusing on other things and being distracted. You should just lie down on your bed and do it and doing other things while listening to the dose will probably kill the effect. You can do stuff after the dose though and still have the effects.

3. The Marijuana dose doesn't perfect weed 100% nor does any drug dose, it's just named that because it's similar to it. It makes you more relaxed and things can be more funny n stuff but I'd suggest doing hash.
It could even make you move slower and it feels good. lol.

I've only done the Content one, but it gave me some weird effects. I listened to it with earbuds, but only got a little over half-way through because it scared the shit out of me.
I had my eyes closed and was completely focused. I started getting the feeling that there was someone on my left right next to my face staring at me, when I opened my eyes there was nothing there. I was paranoid, but kept listening, I wanted the full effect, I was kinda hoping it would stop freaking me out and do what it was supposed to. Bad idea, I guess.
I was probably 11 minutes into it, when I heard my grandmom. I mean, seriously, in the same place the thing I felt was. The voice said, "Megan! If you ever say that again..." I opened my eyes real big and pulled out the earbuds. She wasn't there, of course.
Maybe I'm like, super sensitive to this sort of thing? Or maybe I'm just going crazy, who knows. Actually, I had the idea that the earbuds might have projected the tones differently and turned it into something demonic...
I'll try it again with headphones. Maybe that'll fix it. I mean, they're supposed to work better.

I'd say you should always use headphones to get a good effect. I've used earbuds and headphones and the earbuds rarely ever worked. Anything you've tried with earbuds, but not headphones, I'd try again. Do you know if your headphones are good for binary beats? You could look online and find out. I bought a pair of headphones that were good for binary beats to replace the ones I was using, and that helped the doses a lot.
You really need to focus on the dose and nothing else for it to work. That's why lying down in a dark room helps people so much. If you go to "Options" then "Visualizations" then "panel" or "full screen" you can see these waves showing the dose working, so if you can't stand staying still for some reason, you could try watching that. I do that when I'm doing a QH of something sometimes.
You mentioned you got them from your friend, sometimes I've heard that if you don't buy the dose directly from your own computer, you get it some other way, it can lose some of what it needs to work, so if that's what you did you might want to try downloading one off your own computer and see if it works.
Another thing you can do is download "Condition" and listen to that before you do the dose you want and it'll increase the chance of working and intensity by 10% or more.
Good luck!
