I'm sure some of you will have seen these before - the idea is that spiders were given different drugs to see how it affected their web-building...
I'd say caffeine really stands out as the worst

I saw this back a few months ago. And I found it interesting that caffine was the worst looking. That's one thing I have a problem with the "drug education" we tend to give kids and even adults. We don't even really pay attention to caffine or sugar. Something we start pumping into people very early on.
I cut caffine out of my diet a while back. Accept for an occasional coffee or cola I've gone most months without any heavily caffinated drinks or foods for two years. I feel loads better and actually have more energy now.

I'm not surprised. I did the same thing about 10 years ago except for diet coke which I totally cut out about 2 1/2 yrs ago. It was hard as I only tended to drink the cokes when I was working night or late shifts.... reallly just to try and stay awake. Now I almost never have caffeine except for the occasional bit of chocolate or something as it tends to aggrevate the migraines and my concentration. It's not surprising that it affected the spiders webs.

I've not seen that before. It's really incredible the changes, but the worst being caffine really surprised me.
I drink a good few cups of tea a day so I reckon I'm a caffine addict. If I didn't I'd be some nightmare so the world's lucky I'm keeping my addiction topped up, as I'd be on FBI's top 10 most wanted if I didn't

How exactly does a spider smoke a spliff?
