I am not sure which one is my favorite, the spider on caffeine spinning like a top, or the spider on TCH laying back in his hammock all day watching the spider on caffeine.

Either way this video is just too funny.

The results from these types of studies should help convince those still on the fence about the dangers behind legalizing drugs, even marijuana.

Well, that convinced me. /s

Where are the studies with the spiders on alcohol or prescription meds?

That's right, tax dollars is just as addictive to politicians as crack cocaine is...

You can say that again...

The spiders must have ingested an nearly fatal dose of caffeine to have gotten to that level! Normal coffee drinkers have no problem, and in fact, caffeine is thought to protect against Alzheimers and most people do better on logic problems and similar after consuming the amount of caffeine contained in a cup or two of coffee.

So I’d say there’s a bit of skewing in this! But Obama probably wants to criminalize coffee along with salt...if people like it, it’s got to be bad.

If you want some real hahas, check out the YouTube videes on Salvia.

You could probably call it “seeing spiders on drugs.”

The best anecdotal cure for drugs I’ve heard recently, was of some roommates annoyed at their roommate for smoking too much Salvia. They didn’t object too much at first, since it is legal in their State, but then they found out he was going to smoke a bunch when he was already high on LSD. Which is still very illegal. This ticked them off.

So they put on makeup, and waited until he was blitzed, then entered the room as zombies, moaning “braaaiiinnnsss!”

In a panic, he ran right out the front door, head first into the pool, in winter, when the water was very cold. He was able to get out, and by that time, they had wiped most of the makeup off.

“Whud happened to the zombies?”, he asked, still scared.

“The zombies got them!”, they replied.

After sobering up, he stopped doing drugs for a long time.

Hopefully, spiders practice safe sex when on drugs or (and) alcohol.

For those of us who grew up in Canada watching these hinterland short films it is doubly funny.

Alcohol and LSD would be instructive too, but not in a way that would please the drug warriors. (Alcohol is just as damaging to web quality as some of the illegal drugs, and LSD makes the spider make a perfect web twice as big and very ornate compared to normal - whoops, there goes the argument about mental harm.) Sleep deprivation would also be instructive, if you could get a spider to build a web under such conditions.

I don't have anything to do with drugs and recommend everybody on the planet do the same; every drug problem in the world would vanish within five days if the whole world were to do that...

Nonetheless that's never going to happen, hence the "War on Drugs(TM)", instituted under Richard Nixon. This is the single biggest issue I have with Republicans and there is little if anything to choose between demmy and pubby pols on the issue. The "war on drugs" leads to

It is that final item which some would use as a pretext to eviscerate the second amendment, which is the link pin of the entire bill of rights. Consider the following from the former head of U.S. Customs and Border Protection under the Bush administration no less:

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2009/nov/17/weapons-ban-urged-to-rein-in-mexican-drug-war/

The former head of U.S. Customs and Border Protection called Monday for the U.S. to reinstitute the ban on assault weapons and take other measures to rein in the war between Mexico and its drug cartels, saying the violence has the potential to bring down legitimate rule in that country.

Former CBP Commissioner Robert C. Bonner also called for the United States to more aggressively investigate U.S. gun sellers and tighten security along its side of the border, describing the situation as "critical" to the safety of people in both countries, whether they live near the border or not.

Mexico, for its part, needs to reduce official corruption and organize its forces along the lines the U.S. does, such as a specialized border patrol and a customs agency with a broader mandate than monitoring trade, Mr. Bonner said in an exchange of e-mails.

"Border security is especially important to breaking the power and influence of the Mexican-based trafficking organizations," Mr. Bonner said. "Despite vigorous efforts by both governments, huge volumes of illegal drugs still cross from Mexico..."

The problem here clearly is not guns and it is clearly a problem of economics. The drugs one of these idiots would use in a day under rational circumstances would cost a dollar; that would simply present no scope for crime or criminals. Under present circumstances that dollar's worth of drugs is costing the user $300 a day and since that guy is dealing with a 10% fence, he's having to commit $3000 worth of crime to buy that dollar's worth of drugs. In other words, a dollar's worth of chemicals has been converted into $3000 worth of crime, times the number of those idiots out there, times 365 days per year, all through the magic of stupid laws. No nation on Earth could afford that forever.

A rational set of drug laws would:

Do all of that, and the drug problem and 70% of all urban crime will vanish within two years. That would be an optimal solution; but you could simply legalize it all and still be vastly better off than we are now. 150 Years ago, there were no drug laws in America and there were no overwhelming drug problems. How bright do you really need to be to figure that one out?

Medical marijuana is the only thing that successfully treats a spider with restless legs syndrome.
