Personally, I found the product description a little unbelievable, and not sure how accurate the "doses" would be in inducing certain feelings in different people.

"Unbelievable" is a very apt description. Entrainment tracks cannot duplicate the feelings associated with drugs, and why would anyone seeking clarity of mind and spirit want to? The essence of meditation is to foster a greater sense of presence. "Recreational drugs" are an escape from awareness.
Some native cultures used pharmaceuticals as a means of entering what they believe is the realm of the Spirit, for purposes of seeking spiritual knowledge and assistance. Such practices were tightly controlled and steeped in a full cultural context with the entire community for support. It wasn't for pleasure or recreation. Even then, many native cultures firmly denounced these practices and maintain they are not only unnecessary but detrimental to the process of spiritual development.
This i-Doser company lists track names like "Cocaine" for which they say, "Warning, this one comes close! We have marked it VERY STRONG for a reason, and you will soon find out why."
And, "LSD", for which they write, "LSD / Recreational (Very Strong) / 30 Minutes / LSD is the best known and most researched psychedelic. It is the standard against which all other psychedelics are compared. It is active at extremely low doses, and we have captured its essence in binaural form." [This statement leads me to believe they are using only binaural waves in their tracks.]
Their marketing language suggests they are targeting people as customers who are looking for a means to use and abuse drugs without the cost or possible legal problems.
Ylmz, I'll be very forward here and say I wouldn't touch a company that tried to sell me products like this with a ten foot cattle prod. They won't do anything even remotely like the sellers would like you to believe and even if they could get you stoned or drunk that's hardly a condition to be sought after.
The Lifeflow products are extremely effective and, as Giles pointed out, with those other ones you have no idea what you're getting because the manufacturer tells you nothing at all about them. Michael's tracks are clearly labeled with their exact frequency of entrainment. He has said up front that all tracks begin and end at the target frequency and that he uses only single frequencies and not random combinations so the track will not be creating interference for itself. Each track combines all three audio wave forms, binaural, monaural and isochronic, meaning you get the full benefits of all known waves, not just binaurals. There are no hidden surprises in these tracks. You are told exactly what you are getting, no guessing or wondering required. I'm not sure how you would top that as far as full disclosure goes. Good luck finding another product that offers you so much information about its inner workings.
If it was me, and this is just my personal opinion, if I have something so well constructed as Lifeflow, about which I know pretty much everything I need to know, and it works for me, I wouldn't waste a great deal of time chasing down other products about which I know so little. If I felt the need for more entrainment experience I would simply use the LF tracks more often or for longer periods.
However, I do believe there are some other good products to be found with a bit of careful searching. And if you run across one it can't hurt to use it as well. But something that claims it will mimic the effects of recreational drugs..... Don't waste your money or your time.
