Absinthe?

Re: Absinthe?

Absinthe in the dogs doo da's. Been trollied on it many times! Although you can get varying qualities of the stuff, ranging from 50% - 75% ABV. Tried some really good stuff from the Czech Republic once, boy i knew about it (or not as the case was!)

Got a bottle of Fruko Schulz at the minute (which is also from CZR) @ 60% booze, pretty good stuff. Always nice if you prepare it correctly with the caramelized sugar

^^^ yeah you can't drink it straight. Or at least it's not meant to be drunk that way.

Re: Absinthe?

even though it is not sold here in the states, it is legal to buy it from over seas. it is also legal to be in your possetion. it's just illegal to sell here.

i have been meaning to order some real soon. i think i'm going to go for the king of spirits gold. supposedly has the highest thujon content.

Tabu is also from that region, supposed to be the shiznit..

I've done it, prepared in the appropiate way (burn some suger over it, let it caramelize and then drop it into the Absithe, so it turns troubled white instead of clear), together with whiskey and tequila that night, all of them preceded by a few beers. Nothing. All these stories about hallucinations...BS man. If you like it, drink it, otherwise just get a good bottle of other booze....

Re: Absinthe?

think i ordered from one that they put up, but didn't get the bottles that they recommended (not that maxim is journalistic perfection), and it only seemed like green booze...

no hallucinations at all. i figured i just got a bunk bottle, taking advantage of curious people in countries where there's a ban on it. i'd had high hopes since it came labeled through customs as 'anise oil' or some similar, cryptic, half-truth that might exploit a legal loophole with the stuff.

on the other hand, everyone i've known to grow shrooms has had excellent results.

Re: Absinthe?

the absinthe that produces any psychedelic effect at all has a much higher concentration of wormwood than most modern absinthe. you can drink a whole bottle of todays stuff and not get anything other than blindingly drunk.

back in the day when people like van gogh were drinking it...different story. part of the reason he went crazy was wormwood...

Re: Absinthe?

^^^ crazy? that's a bit harsh. he only hacked off his ear and mailed it to a woman while he was on it . . . silly artists...

Re: Absinthe?

I didn't get any visuals off it. All I got was seriously drunk and then a serious hangover the next day.

If you want to try a different drink to get drunk, then try absinthe. If your looking to hallucinate, there are more effective ways to go about it.

Re: Absinthe?

two things it will do.

a. kill my cold/flu
b. kill me.

both are fine with me as long as i feel better.

Re: Absinthe?

Thanks for the maxim article link. Very cool links to some sights. I'm definately going to order a bottle. I was still a little curious about those kits. They say that they can produce a insane amount of thujone.

Re: Absinthe?

My mate bought me back a bottle from Prague. It was green and 70%. I drank over half the bottle one night straight, and ended up very drunk, but didn't feel anything in the way of hallucinations or even feel them coming on slightly.

It wouldn't be legal if they had a fun amount of wormwood in it, it's that simple.

Damn I didn't feel too good the next morning.
