I think the term "trippy" was used to denote things like absinthe and mezcal by prudes that never seriously tripped and got wasted off these things.

If you drink yourself a delirium, it's trippy.
That's what the myth comes from, the wine lobby saw Absinthe take over the market so they conducted a "scientific" study that looked solely at the most deranged alcoholics, gassed animals with more wormwood oil than is present in a crate of Absinthe and then applied those findings to your average Joe who drank one glass of absinthe per day as an aperitiv.
Murder! Insanity! Death!
It's not a hallucinogen. Like you say Yawn, it's got it's own specific kind of drunkennness.
What's remarkable about Absinthe is it's flavor, the way in which it is prepared, it's colorful history and its actual beneficial effects on digesting a meal.

OoD
*please note : I "read stuff" all the time that does not exist.
i think it was actually wiccan's thread that i read, i vagely remember that video he is talking about because i was making fun of it.
so yah they took the good stuff out(thujone) or theirs hardly any in it.
and yes absinthe sopposedly made lots of people sick in the old days(heavy metals) but this is how true absinthe was made
seriously people like you really piss me off.

No they figured out thujone isnt the good stuff and is potentially dangerous and that it was just alcohol that had psychoactive effects.
They thought it was the reason for the mythic "trippy" effects because they thought that it worked off of cannabinoid recepters, but it doesnt.
once they realized it was just alcohol they wanted to make money off it.

yah but thats not why he wrote what he did.
second, ive heard mixed reports about the effects of absinthe, so if/when i make some ill know from personal experience. the effects are in the eyes of the beholder, and how all them tests were done im sure could be skeptical.
im sure the crap bottle in the usa only has like 10 mg of wormwood in it and then dyed with green...they leave out all the other "good stuff" as well. some of which are classified as psychoactive if memory serves me right (##$#%)
whats interesting is how the article says they seen thujone is dangerous? and now they make it legal lol ok

whether its legal or not, you still dont trip off it! the bottles they sell at the store will probably have the lowest thujone content available too

It might taste ok, and its fun to drink it the traditional way, but it doesnt do much more than get you drunk. Has anyone seen green faries? anyone? speak up!
