I buddy sent it to be from the UK. He says it's the real deal. I haven't busted into it, but I opened it and it smell like black licorish. What's the deal with this stuff. I googled it and it seems like something I need to give to one of my hippy friends.

Bad mojo, that absinth is.

My liver hurts just looking at it.

Absinthe is a really toxic beverage. It's about 75% alcohol, infused with wormwood which contains psychoactive alkaloids.

Basically, it'll fuck you up real good. Very strong.

I've had Pernod, which is the legal, watered down version of absinthe. I was really sick for a few days after drinking about half a bottle.

The writing isn't in English. My buddy who sent it to me said it was pretty bad stuff.
I think ULEX is who made it

Send it to me, I'll have Wave take video as I drink it up.

I had it in the Czech Republic, there's too much hype about it, but it does get you fucked up and leaves you with some strange dreams at night.

You better drink it properly. Pour some in some water and suger to make it a creamy green color. Then consume all you want. The stuffs not all its cracked out to be, but its still pretty good.

The Neutral Observer tried a small drink of Absinthe a while ago. The hype is that it really messes you up, and causes you to become more creative or have new insights or something.

It doesn't. It makes you so damned retarded you don't realize how retarded you're acting, and you think every word that comes out of your mouth is pure brilliance. Plus, thujone triggers epilepsy in high doses. The stuff made in Czech is horrible; impure and containing toxic heavy metals and other various nasty things. In addition, thujone content varies in each bottle, as there is no such thing as quality control in the Czech distillaries that make this stuff. That means there is no way to accurately predict the dose of thujone you get from a drink. Plus, it's 100+ proof and tastes like crap.

When I was in Junior High, I would drink 190 proof Everclear with orange Tang.

Damm did I use to get $#cked up.

Different strokes for different folks. The Neutral Observer doesn't stray very far from beer normally.

I did a little search and that stuff is really expensive. A bottle of the stuff doesn’t have to be very big to be over $ 200.00 and ULEX Absinth is not sold anywhere in the good old USA.

I also noticed that cannabis vodka is sold in other countries too.

WAIT RIGHT THERE DONT DRINK IT

I'm only a half-days drive from you , I'll be over later this week.

I guess I'm in the backwoods, as I've never even heard of this stuff. Sounds a little too weird for me.

I wonder how this would show on a piss test for employment.

I don't think thujone shows up on a piss test.

In Japan they use that stuff to make a drink called Purple Haze. Better than NyQuil!!!

Absynthe is FUBAR.

I knew a guy from Europe that was hooked on the stuff. Artist type.

He described using a kind of Absynthe that is made the "old way" and cannot even be sold in Europe because it has too much mojo. According to him, an Absynthe drinker goes through stages: First, what feels like a regular drunk. Second, a sort of "bad trip" stage where you apparently see all manner of fucked up shit. Third, some sort of "hyper experiential" stage, which is supposedly what Van Gough and lots of other artists experienced when producing some of their better work.

'Course Van Gough cut off his own fucking ear after drinking the stuff, so your milage may vary.

Check out Robert Service' poem, "The Absinth Drinkers".

If you've never heard of him, he wasn't your average poet. Wrote some really cool stuff about gold mining in the Yukon.

I've had the stuff, it aint acid but it'll get you pretty pie-eyed in no time at all. Problem is it isn't legal in the US. You might as well toss a bag of grass into the box if you're shipping it, though I'm not sure they train sniffer dogs on Absinthe..

Posted: 5/11/2004 12:37:03 PM EDT

[#40]

wait, you don't have to ship it anywhere,

Im right here in OK,

I would be glad to give you the bottle back afterwards,
(empty of course)

never tried it, but its on the list of things to do before i die.

Isn't that the stuff the people drank in the movie "European Vacation" ?

Called the green fairy or some shit..

I have some its not that bad just really heavly alcholic www.erowid.org/chemicals/absinthe/absinthe.shtml

From personal expericance most of what people say about it is becouse of the rumor mill becouse of it being so hard to get. You just get a little lucid and lounge out and have some midly trippy dreams. Its overrated IMHO. I still have about half a bottle left of the stuff my parents brought me from the UK. mines 60% alc. by volume. Its really bitter by it self. hence the whole diluting it 6 to 1 with water pouring the water over a lump of sugar and a slotted spoon.

Back in 19XX I drank a bottle or more of it at my bachelor party ..................... it almost killed me, kidneys shut down, face swelled up...... took me days to recover. Enjoy.

A good friend of mine drank nine shots of that shit a few years back in Hiroshima, Japan.

All he can remember is slapping the shit out of a couple of Nip bar maids, said they kept whispering crazy shit about sex with iguanas in his ear. Pretty soon he's running down the street being chased by a couple of circus clowns yelling some nonsensical bullshit about being the JPs. He had to dive into a binjou ditch and try to swim to freedom.

Next day he woke up naked in a strange house, covered in blood (not his own) and curled up with a bloody axe. The sheets, the axe and himself were all covered with blood, bits of bone, broken teeth and loose human hairs.

He had to steal clothes off a clothes line and walk barefoot back to base, about 40 klicks.

He says he'd never do it again, on account of he lost a good dive watch somewhere that night.
