Video of the Week: Spiders on Drugs

I was forwarded a video by a friend which was titled “Spiders on Drugs”. Right away I recalled experiments that were run (I think) in the 60’s (like most other psychoactive drug experiments) where web-spinning spiders were given drugs like THC, LSD, caffeine, etc. and then the pattern of the webs were examined.

It turned out that that the drug impacted the shape of the webs.

I thought this was what this video was about, but this is an entirely new take on the experiment. This is also the funniest thing I have seen in some time. It is also a great spoof on Environment Canada videos!

Enjoy!
