Funny shit.
I was expecting this to be similar to the propaganda DARE feeds American middle students, where they show the effects of a few psychoactive substances on the web patterns of a spider...

Maybe DARE used that but the research of psychoactive substances on the webs of spiders was done before there was any such thing as DARE.
The way you guys deal with drug problems

Seriously America has the most foolish way of dealing with drug crime. "We're having a problem with this so lets create a situation where there will be a group of people who stand to make a profit by convincing more people to use drugs" It's like prohibition all over again: who gained the most from that? Why the mob of course. Want to hurt drug lords? Then drive the price of their product into the ground by supplying it to addicts cheaply with the advantage that if the government supplies the cheap drugs to them then they don't have the same motive to expand the market.If you take that approach it's a matter of simply not pushing the drugs to new users.
I've heard that during prohibition that foreign alcohol producers were one of the groups that lobbied to keep prohibition[citation needed] because consumption didn't drop, it increased and import taxes just disappeared.

And this works differently... where? Europe and Japan have banned pretty much the same drugs as the US. The law enforcement unions aren't quite as strong yet, I suppose, but that's only because other unions are squeezing a lot of money out of tax payers.

Is this spider really called a "wood spider"? When I lived in London they called it a "garden spider"; in The Netherlands they're called a "cross spider".

I took me until about halfway through before I realized this was a takeoff ... it adheres nicely to the original format of HWW.
If libertarians are so opposed to effective government, why don't they all move to Somalia?
