头足类动物和章鱼特别是非常聪明的生物，但从解剖学上讲，它们是非常与人类和所有脊椎动物不同。这导致一些“科学家”想知道如果这些生物暴露于MDMA，也称为Molly或摇头丸，会发生什么。
非法药物MDMA因其社交影响和引起人们的极端外向行为而受欢迎。这说服研究人员想知道章鱼的完全不同的解剖结构会受到它的影响，以及它是否会改变这些头足类动物的正常反社会行为。
鸦片战争豚鼠被保存在一个浴with a solution of ecstasy and then observed to see how they would behave towards of their kind. The cephalopod test subjects were then given the choice of moving towards another octopus, towards a toy, or towards an empty space. Wouldn’t you know it, the滚动章鱼实际上与其他章鱼相比，章鱼花了更多的时间与未与MDMA持续的测试动物相比。
While we don’t believe that there’s enough MDMA in ocean waters to change their behaviors but it would be super interesting if a link could be made between the behavior of ecstatic octopi and the communities and octopus cities documented around Austalian waters. We can’t help but wonder who had the crazy idea of giving party drugs to marine invertebrates, or how this research was approved, but at least now we know the effects of MDMA on our spineless overlords.
