Online site 'I-Doser' sells soundtracks which it claims can recreate the effects of drugs such as heroin.
Websites offering so-called digital drugs which claim to replicate the effects of alcohol, marijuana, cocaine and heroin have prompted concerns that they could act as 'gateways' for people to use real versions of the drugs.
Videos of individual users apparently suffering severe reactions after listening to atonal tracks known as 'I-Doses' are currently available on YouTube, while drug authorities in the US state of Oklahoma recently wrote to parents advising them of concerns about their use.
The 'drugs' claim to use a form of therapy known as 'binaural beats', which can alter the moods and behaviour of some users.
