liquor stores sell absinthe knock-offs for like $100 bucks for 750ml. It doesnt even have any active ingredients, its just strong.

erm, they didn't legalize it, there's just a brand called "lucid" out.

go to Lucid's Website... It says it meets US laws for the amount of wormwood in it, and that samples of classical absinthe show it didn't have a high concentration of wormwood.

weed puts holes in your brain and kills probably around 100k people a year. Now alcohol is totally harmless and kills zero.

It was competing with the Wine industry in France.  Once they paid some pseudo-scientist to do a bogus animal study that concluded that thujone was hallucinogenic - which it's not.  And bad math estimated that absinthe contained a significant amount of thujone - which it doesn't.  America followed suit, because we love banning shit.

This article pretty much covers it. I think I'll stick to beer and bourbon personally. I think the mystique of Absinthe has given rise to the placebo effect for many, especially with the newly legalized U.S. made stuff that can only contain 10 parts per million of thujone. And I can do without that horrid liquorice flavor.

Ahh, the flavor is my favorite part! I like other herbal bitters (like Jagermeister and Angostura) already. I tried Absinthe in Victoria, and it came from a pretty bottle written in Swiss, not Czech. It was used in a bourbon cocktail called the "Green Fairy". I felt so amazingly clear-headed. It's the perfect drunk!

Edit:

Apparently a traditional "Green Fairy" is different from what I had.

1 oz absinthe herbal liqueur
1 oz water
juice of 1 lemons
2 tsp egg white
1 dash Angostura® bitters

Shake thoroughly with ice and strain into a cocktail glass.

I was served something that looked more like an Old Fashioned with a jigger of absinthe substituting for the sugar and garnishes. At the Temple Bar in Victoria BC, down by the hotels.

real absinthe is definitely different. it's not like you're gonna be hallucinating but you'll definitely feel something other than the alcohol. but only in small doses, if you drink too much you'll just be drunk.
