In the 1960s, Dr. Peter Witt gave drugs to spiders and observed their effects on web building.

Comments, anyone?

Yeah I seen that before, and it's a pretty inacurate test. How much of the said drug did he inject into the spider? Was it comparable to the volume in which would be ingested for a human? Is a Spider's system similar to our own?

Quite honestly, we can eat shrooms and trip out.... you give a cat or dog shrooms and they die..... it's not really an accurate result.

Yes it's known these things affect how your mind works while you are under the indfluence, but are they trying to imply that this is what you will be like for the rest of your life? Are they trying to imply you will suck at your job on drugs? Well duh.... that's why it's usually recreational.... which is why the spider screwed up each time.... he's being put to work when he should just be chillin

My comment would be along the line of Praxius's's's post.

Bad science with bad intention.

My question...Why do these bastards always get the poduim?

Money talks.

a useless "study" the effect of drugs on a spiders brain is in no way comparable to the effects of drugs on a human's brain.

Looks pretty similar to me.

Similar if you have never experienced the effects yourself first hand.
