Don't quote me on this, but as far as I know you can buy it and have it shipped to you. It's classified as a "poison" in the US, and not any type of controlled substance. It's just not something they sell in liqour stores over here.

the first time I drank some absinthe....I heard someone at my party say the word "creative" and I wrote it about 30 times on the dry erase board on the wall in my living room...

the next time I did about 3 shots and went out downtown with some friends.....at around 1pm I decided to walk home....4 FUCKING MILES......I got home around the same time as my neighbors were pullin up in their car at 2:30pm....

they were like what the fuck is wrong with you?

Absinthe is said to have made Van Gogh hack off his ear and give it to a hooker as a gift......weird shit.

I was with you until you got to this part...no absinthe for me

BoNgHiTtA · 12-15-2003, 12:28 PM

Ok I ordered some. It seems that it is shipped from the Czyk republic to you, and the only legal way to receive it is to have it imported. Then you can not redistribute it.

At least thats what they told me.

Ill let you all know in a few weeks after i have some

From that site I posted above? How long did they say it'd take?

BoNgHiTtA · 12-15-2003, 12:30 PM

They said 3-4 weeks.

i hear ya....after that last incident I decided that I would only consume that green shit in the safety of my own home with at most a few close friends....

Libertine · 12-15-2003, 12:36 PM

Just make your own. The recipe is really quite simple, with a bottle 100 proof wodka and some stuff you can get at nearly every health food store, it's a piece of cake

Bottle of wodka and half an ounce of dried wormwoord. Put the wormwood in the wodka in a sealed container with as little air as possible, let it soak for 5 days in a dark, cool place.
Filter the wormwood out, and now put in half a tablespoon of angelica root, half a teaspoon of hyssop, a quarter teaspoon of coriander, a pinch of cardamon and a pinch of caraway. Once again, put it in a sealed container and let it sit for another 4 days in a dark and cool place.

Then, get it out, filter it and voila... you have absinthe

yeah i believe in the US its ok to own it but not sell it or make. however you CAN make it so long as you steep it instead of distill it. if you distill it, it's illegal.

Yeah, but is wormwood something you'll find at a health food store? Or do you have to grow it?

Any that we've had made this way has been swill.

We've bought from absintheonline.com, eabsinthe.com, and spiritscorner.com (the site isn't in english, but if you click the union jack flag, you can get an english version of the site)

We've had 3-4 different kinds of absinthe shipped here. They have taken from 1 week to 3 months to get here to the states. All have arrived with something other than "absinthe" on the shipping label. Usually it says "spirits", "3 bottle sampler" or "1 bottle".

The quality out there varies widely. There are lots of people selling green piss water on Ebay in older bottles so watch out. My sweetie has his favorites and is becoming quite the expert, but everyone likes something different. You can see the FAQ on feeverte.net for more info.

MrMonkeyFingers · 12-17-2003, 01:53 AM

I bought mine HERE and it took about 3 weeks to a month because it came from Germany. The shipping was the same cost as the bottle, it was about 80 bucks.... but it knocked me on my ass... about 143 proof I think

GonePhishing · 12-17-2003, 01:57 AM

Hey, I would check this out at erowid. It seems to be pretty good about checking out the absinthe.

I've heard and read that it's not the real deal. But I couldn't tell you based on personal experienece.

yes I did....it was the first time I had ever heard of the shit and in a spontaneous act I ordered some from a german company on ebay.

I found the absinthebuyersguide.com and other sites later when I actually did some research.
