For some reason I ordered a bag of wormwood what do I do with it. I just tried smoking it and got no effect. It tasted kind of minty and harsh though better than cigars and most cigarettes
-------------------- can anyone get me some Lsd

Well... I have let it soak it 190 proof ethanol, this results in an overly bitter tincture that is essentially worthless unless your tastebuds/stomach are superman.
I have soaked it in jack daniels with moderate success, its drinkable but bitter as all fucking hell and herby enough to kill a hippie.
I have extracted it many different ways into many different things (oils, hash, tinctures, wax...) and its all pretty much useless, I dont really think you can get high on this shit.
I find it tastes lovely as an oil or hash nd may potentiate weed and maybe a few other things but it could be placebo out of hope.. Mostly, I dont know if Ive ever got a real buzz of it, and thats having smoked 3ml of oil in one sitting made with over an ounce of material.
Its good as an admixture if you like the flavour when burnt, but as a drink or anything its god awful.
Use it to kill worms, but dont, thats mean.

Wormwood can be toxic and there is no "high" to speak of from smoking it or brewing tea. There are some uses in herbal medicine but most people will tell you the risks outweigh the benefits. Thujone as a psychedelic is bunk, I haven't seen a single successful, credible bio-assay, so don't buy the hype and give your liver and kidneys a break by discontinuing use. If you want to try thujone in a safe quantity, drink some quality absinthe, you'll notice that it simply gets you drunk and there is no such thing as the "green fairy." You might, however find that it is a tasty beverage on a hot day. My favorite American abinthes are Pacific Distillery's Pacifique, and Delaware Phoenix Distillery's Walton Waters.

from what i understand thujone closely resembles a cannabanoid and the effects are supposedly just an enhancement of the senses such as taste feel touch and sigth hence why it was popular with artists and shit

Make absinthe, take your time with it, its psychoactive but also dangerous

I did an ethanol extraction and got the oil, which was then smeared onto a cigarette and smoked. The 'high' was weird but very noticeable, similar to mild cannabis, but difficult to explain exactly. The smell was very nice as well. Mind you, that was more than 10 years ago, I don't remember all the details, and I would never do that again, knowing what I now know about thujone.

I know a few places here where it is naturalized, so I harvest a bit every season. I usually just burn it as smudge though because I find its "psychoactive" effects to be subtle and unremarkable.
I used to mix it with weed to potentiate the high and that seemed to work for me pretty well back when I was stoned all the time.
You could make some absinthe with it, there are plenty of recipes out there and most of the other herbs needed can be bought just about anywhere. Just don't expect a wild and crazy psychedelic experience, all that hype is bullshit. Absinthe just gets me drunk, but it gets me drunk in a way that no other alcohol can.

sorry man not much. If u make a tincture out of it you could rub some on a babies thumb to get him/her to stop sucking it. Psychoactive..... not really.

Yes it is. Just not 'psychedelic'.

This thread has been closed.
Reason: Make absinthe. Many recipes online.
Unfortunately, without extraction and optimally distillation, wormwood is potentially unsafe so I am locking this thread.
