zero Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 I had an entomology teacher who showed us the Life photo series similar to this (cocaine, meth, caffeine, LSD). I presume it's the same way- they feed them spiders injected with the chemical. The results were amusing- the LSD spider web was perfect which seemed like strong evidence to me. She would insist it was too perfect because the spider was so absorbed making it that it lost sight of the tension in it's lines and sensitivity to predators (also sounds familiar).

adambrot Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 That's pretty funny! Actually, I've been a fan of the spider web on drugs story for a while, as this seems to be a parody of what was actually a real experiment in the 60s in order to determine the neurological effects of plant metabolites on animals. It was conducted by Peter Witt of the N Carolina Dept of Mental Health and published in Behavioural Science (vol 16) in 1971. Here are some pictures of spider webs built on the various psychoactive substances: normal web: caffeine: mescaline: LSD: Marijuana: Speed: Sleeping pills: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
