Yeah, its not all what its cracked up to be.
When hundreds of ppl were drinking it at bars in social settings and able to distunguish upon those subtle changes in consciousness and vision.. it woulda bn great!
imo, you get nothing more from absinthe after 2 pleasant, ritually perfromed sugar cube cocktails.. than you do after the whole bottle. all youl get is more drunk, and less able to notice the effects.
Expect simply an interesting yet subtle visual distortion and a mild 'glow' that promotes creativity.

Quote:
in 2007 some products labelled as "absinthe" were approved for sale in the United Stated. The situation is somewhat complex, but the short version is that the agency that now regulates alcohol in the U.S. (the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau) defines "thujone free" (an FDA requirement for any food made with Absinthe's defining herb wormwood) as meaning less than 10 parts-per-million (10mg/L) thujone. It is an ongoing debate whether "thujone free" absinthe should be considered authentic, with the common understanding being that traditional absinthe contained higher levels of thujone but current manufacturers arguing that vintage absinthe had similarly low levels of thujone. Whatever the truth of their arguments, the modern low-thujone absinthes are being widely publicized as the first legal absinthes in the U.S. since the 1912 ban.

yeah! I read about that in the magazine and saw the bottles,
looks like cheap listerine shit that's marketed towards people who want the real thing,
though I don't know about that thujone, after reading the article, I went onto the absinthe thing on erowid, checkd out the thujone vault, eh! seems a bit unhealthy for weakfx

Absinthe is nothing but hype. Ive experimented with thujone extract in the past and got nothing but a light cannabis-like high. And the potent stuff tastes like shit. Speaking of which, check this out, lol http://www.mansinthe.com/

It's high proof booze and placebo effect. So enjoy getting drunk, I guess. And thujone's bullshit- for one thing, absinthe as it was distilled at the turn of the century had no more thujone than the stuff they sell today. The supposed psychoactive effects were pure propaganda, the predecessor of "Reefer Madness". Hell, they even had a sensationalistic story about a Swiss alcohol butchering his family after drinking Absinthe(and other booze, but guess which got blamed). How little things change...

Yeah, I read a recent article that supposedly debunked the special effects of absinthe--its power was apparently due to the higher proof and not to any hallucinogenic effects.
That being said, I've had Czech absinthe that gave a very lucid drunk feel--best way I'd describe it would be I felt clear-headed enough to do math homework but with enough raging self-confidence to take on a team of pirate ninjas.
Probably placebo effect, but was hella fun anyway.

It's likely that the reported hallucinogenic effects were from poorly distilled absinthe containing abnormally high levels of thujone.

Absinthe is one of those subjects that makes me mad because I hear about people that try it and then they make up ridiculous BS stories about how things were different from them than a regular drunk. You didn't hallucinate shit now shut up! The truth is there really isn't any true Absinthe anymore because there is never enough thujone in the bottle to make a difference.
The amount of thujone in the bottles you find now is so minimal that you would need to drink multiple bottles of it before you would feel its effects.. except you would be dead from alcohol poisoning.

it's very ture there are no hallucinogenic effects what so ever i think its a happier drunk and it has less of hung over effect becase of the high proof.....
But thats about all for the cost of the bottle it's not worth it. unless you want to get fucked up nice and quick. or just to say you have been there done that.
