The Spider Web Conspiracy - Drawing of spider webs spun under the influence of various psychoactive drugs. The web spun by Araneus diadematus, the common house spider, is altered when the spider is exposed to chemicals. When juxtaposed with the drawing of a normal web, four drawings of spider webs spun by spiders exposed to marijuana, benzedrine*, chloral hydrate**, and caffeine demonstrate varying degrees of malformation. The results are obvious, even without the use of a sophisticated graphic analyzer. Compared with the webs spun normally or under the influence of marijuana, benzedrine, or chloral hydrate, the one spun after the administration of caffeine is clearly the most deformed. Each of the other webs exhibits an evident "hub and spokes" pattern, presumably the most fundamental aspect of the web paradigm. The caffeine web has lost any trace of this design and is almost completely disrupted. The structure of the web spun by the spider under the influence of marijuana is pretty close to the conventional one, but is unfinished. The Benzedrine web is meticulous in places but has huge gaps. The chloral hydrate web is a stray collection of strands. The illuminating example is caffeine. Anyone who has ever had a tip from an excitable stockbroker go south, or had the rearview mirror fall off his brand new car when he slammed the door and discovered it was made on the night shift, or examined the film of his baby's christening and found streaks of light in place of his child's beaming face will be struck by the slipshod, disorderly, ill-planned, chaotic, and slaphappy structure laid down by the spider intoxicated by caffeine. New Yorker, June 5, p. 34 Excerpt taken from The world of caffeine copyright 2001 by Bennet Alan Weinberg and Bonnie K. Bealer *benzedrine (racemic amphetamine sulfate) n. vasoconstrictor drug, also called amphetamine, which relieves hay fever, catarrh, etc., and, taken internally, increases physical and mental activity and causes wakefulness. **Chloral Hydrate First synthesized in 1832, chloral hydrate was the first depressant developed for the specific purpose of inducing sleep. Currently marketed as syrups or soft gelatin capsules, chloral hydrate takes effect in a relatively short time (about 30 minutes) and will induce sleep in an hour. In Victorian England, a solution of chloral and alcohol constituted the infamous "knockout drops" or "Mickey Finn."
