Effect of psychoactive drugs on animals

Drugs administered to a spider affect its ability to build a web.[1] Webs produced under the influence of small doses of LSD (omitted in this image) show increased regularity.[2]
Caffeine has a significant effect on spiders, which is reflected in the construction of their webs.[1]

Psychoactive drugs, such as caffeine, amphetamine, mescaline, lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), cannabis, chloral hydrate, theophylline, IBMX and others, can have strong effects on certain animals. It is believed that plants developed caffeine as a chemical defense against insects.[3]
