Sad Bird :(

[img:539070]

. . .

Check this artist as he draws on LSD. Quite fascinating.

The effect of various drugs on a spider's ability to spin webs. If I wasn't so lazy, I'd look up the paper myself and see the relative dosages given to the spider. The caffeine web is the most messed up one of all ... so I've (honestly) decided to quit drinking Coke from now on. I'm going to give it up at home (I'll have it when I go out occassionally) ... but I'm really kinda freaked out.

Currently feeling: scared

My question is whether the artist became hooked on LSD after that first trip? There should have been followup to this experiement. In the last example, he sounded very depressed in the end - the crash after the high. It is at this point that a user will seek to use again, to recapture that euphoria. Leaves me to wonder whether this subject ended up hooked on drugs.

Well, LSD is only psychologically addictive, so I would guess not ;) Or maybe he thought his art was real good while he was tripping ... then that would be a problem.

I'd seen the spiderwebs before (and temporarily flipped out, being a Mt. Dew fiend) but not those drawings. Wow. Those are disturbing.

You know you aren't a spirder right? You don't spin webs do you?

You should see how the spiders webs look when he goes out every night and plays poker....
