    has anyone tried it?

    it tasted like someone stuck black licorice into a blender or juicer and turned it on high into a drink.

    great buzz off one shot though.

    Good stuff.

    anlgp ↑ ↑ ↓ ↓ ← → ← → B A

    you used to be able to when it had thujone in it i think. but the regulations forced them to take it down. so what you're drinking isn't pure absinthe.

    and alen, get the hell out of here with that crap.

    Absinthe is very bitter. In the old days they used to mix it with wormwood (poison) to cause hallucinations.

    I have an old piece of Absinthe artwork hanging in my kitchen. Its a propaganda illustration that's attempting to show the dangers of the drink.

    I've tried and and it tastes just like black licorice. I didn't drink enough to see the green fairy though... I still would prefer jager though.

    Supposedly thujone may not have any hallucinogenic effects at all.

    Take any spoon you don't mind mutilating; drill 10 1/8" holes in it, in close proximity. Wash it well to remove all metal flakes.

    But remember to drip the water over the sugar a drop at a time; too fast and it gets this nasty green "oil slick" on top.

    Yeah, I bought some a few years ago online and it tastes like licorice perfume. I had a couple of shots and it didn't really do much, so I had a small glass and I was face down and hallucinating. I ended up tossing my lunch over the edge of the couch and promptly passed out for a few hours.

    Make sure to buy the one that has thujone/wormwood, that's the one that makes it trippy. :up:

    If you want true absinthe you have to order it online from overseas. As long as it is for private use it is totally legal. Especially if it comes from France it will have a higher concentration of Wormwood which is the ingredient that can cause hallucinations if you drink enough of it.

    I order it from overseas and after two or three drinks it puts me in a middle state, almost like I can not get drunk, really good but strange feeling. Great if used in moderation which is how I use it.

    A buddy of mine that a gave a bottle too as a gift for his Birthday though, well, lets just say he drank the whole bottle in a few hours and tripped balls for a day and a half.

    I did warn him though.

    wow for a day and a half huh?

    are you sure it's legal I could have sworn it was illegal, even for private use.

    Dead serious, when it has a high concentration of wormwood look out.

    I don't think I've seen a definitive answer, when I ordered it I was under the impression that it was illegal, but I know a few people who order it regularly and one of them is a cop. A google search will give conflicting answers, so....:dunno:

    Myself and my partner have ordered it over a dozen times from overseas and have never had any issues. Like I said, as long as it is for personal consumption you are A O.K., if you are trying to import in in bulk for resale look out.
