The wood spider is the most accomplished of web building species. Recently, scientists
gave these tiny creatures a variety of psychoactive drugs to observe their affects on web building.
when given a minute dose of LSD, the spider's web took on an unfamiliar minimalist structure.
When given caffein, The web structure was not affected, but the spiders behavior was.
Given THC, the active ingredient in marijuana, the spider didn't build a web.
It built a hammock where it lay all day and watch the caffein spider go. When given alcohol,
the spider built a web, found a mate, and raised over a hundred young, but the mate
got a restraining order and now the spider can't go within a hundred centimeters of the
web. The crack *** spider figured building webs was "for suckas," waited 'til the caffein
spider was exhausted, then came up behind it and 'popped a cap in it's ***." Nice web,
Mr. Crack-spider. When winter came, the marijuana spider had no place to live. It ended up in
the crack web as the crack spider's ***. For more information on the crack spider's
***, contact the Canadian Wildlife Service in Ottawa.
