Anything you find in the US will be fake.

But you can get it shipped from England right?

Corona · 06-15-2004, 01:18 AM

You can get a nuke shipped in if you want.

Can you do it without breaking any laws?

You can do a google search but I'm pretty sure that it, like anythng else that enables a person to have a good time, is a controlled substance.

A bottle or two of Mad Dog will have the same effect

Corona · 06-15-2004, 01:26 AM

I found this at http://www.erowid.org/ask/ask.cgi?ID=2693

So, the situation, as I understand it:

1. It is illegal to sell thujone containing absinthe in the US for human consumption.

2. It is illegal for someone outside the US to sell thujone containing absinthe to someone inside the US.

3. It is not illegal to purchase thujone containing absinthe for personal use in the US.

4. It is not illegal to purchase thujone containing absinthe for personal use from outside the United States

5. Thujone containing absinthe can be seized by US customs (if it appears to be for human consumption).

Kind of like downloading music. Download away, but you're sent to hell if you upload!

Corona · 06-15-2004, 01:33 AM

My take on it is that it is OK to purchase ouside of the US and and have it imported.

Unless customs decides that it is not OK and they keep it.

The worst case looks to be that customs will keep it but doesn't look like there would be any legal problems with the attempt unlike getting caught with something like pot or coke.

Then again, I am not a lawyer.

chupacabra · 06-15-2004, 01:39 AM

uh, sorry, but what is it..?

beemk · 06-15-2004, 01:41 AM

its illegal, its REALLY strong liquor. strongest ive ever drank. i think its 170 proof.

If you really want the real thing, then "King of Spirits GOLD" is the only one I know about, se http://www.absintshop.com/products/absinth/kinggold/

The Absinthe sold over the counter in England, like Hills Absinthe is not the real ting. It do not contain more then 10 mg/l thujon. Original absinthe was 50-200 mg/l thujon. But as the fake is 65 to 75% alcohol you will get drunk, but not intoxicated on thujon.

Also se http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absinthe

jm_247live · 06-18-2004, 09:41 PM

This stuff sounds interesting I'd like to try it

Sly_RJ · 06-18-2004, 09:43 PM

I know some people that had it sent in from Amsterdam I think. At the time there was a certain way you could package it that customs wouldn't care too much about. I can't exactly remember how it was packaged.

Do a search online and I'm sure you'll find plenty of small sites from Europe that will send it over.

$200 for a bottle of liquor?? Shit. It better do some amazing shit. It better make me want to cut off my ear or something.

Corona · 06-19-2004, 12:35 AM

It still think you can get the same effect with a couple of pints of Mad Dog fortified wine.

And you will still have $194 left over.

Jinx · 06-19-2004, 01:14 AM

If you look around there are do-it-yourself kits that you can buy and make your own. They're pretty cheap, and you don't have to worry about customs that way.

Rich · 06-19-2004, 01:19 AM

They sell that shit at the liquor stores here, I was thinking about picking up a bottle. Anyone ever tried it? I don't know if it's the good stuff or not, it's only about $70/bottle so probably not.

I don't think that would give you any of the effects you get from real absinth. The kind at the liquor store just sounds like an expensive imitation is all...
