anyone tried absinth...
 

...and did you hallucinate?
i had a couple of shots of absinth last weekend plus loads of other booze, but i was just pretty drunk... no hallucinations at all.
They say you could get em if u drink it though. Anyone ever experienced this?

All the time.

Had it a few times, but never hallucinated...

Hmm theres a topic about this every week on gfy.

You wont hallucinate from Absinthe. Its not like it used to be 1 or 2 centuries ago.

The only thing that will happen is that you get totally drunk because of the high alcohol %.

It's not much thujone in it nowadays...

You're going to get sick before reaching that stage. It's a drink to taste and relax. That's all.

What does it taste like?

very bitter taste

Its fucking gross.

Absinthe is a myth. There is no Absinthe on the planet with enough wormwood extract to give an effect. You would have to drink like 30 bottles of the best stuff to get anything. Anyone who says it did something was too shit faced drunk to really be objective.

I almost tried it in Amsterdam, but I was too much of a pussy to try it. Had I known it wasn't a big deal I would have done it.

I have some Absinthe here. Its the legal version I ordered from over-seas, what makes this legal is the fact it contains the SOUTHERN wormwood in it instead of the regular wormwood that causes u those hallucinations. This Absinthe here gives a different kind of intox, but no hallucinations, it makes u feel really relaxed. Absinthe tastes/smells like licorice. :drinkup

it tastes like 'drop shot' (dont know if this is the english term too), only its burning more cuz of the high alcohol %...

... a yea thats the english word for what i tried to say :)

I've had many interesting nights after drinking absinthe. I have labeled it "The Devil's Pimpjuice".

Haha i highly doubt that since drop is a Dutch word.

my favourite absinth: versinth blanche.. white absinth, nice in color, no extra sugar but big in taste :) high fraction of thujon!

try it.. i wont hallucinate, but be enthusiastic about the taste. when you like anis..

i tried it - wow

Tastes like licorice. I had about 4oz of it after having a couple of dry martinis once.
That was enough. Hit me hard and fast.

(it was the good stuff from Spain, or so I was told)

hell yeah,,, the right stuff (King of Spirits Gold) will give you a pretty wild trip :glugglug

There are 100's of versions of the drink "Absinth" and "Absinthe"

Ive had a few versions. Tastes like shit even with the spoon and surgar.

The only trippin I did was making funny faces on nasty the shit is

Try some 32% thujone - you can get it on the net and sorta legal to be shipped to the US (depends on who you ask and the real ppm of thujone compared to the % alcohol) - although customs "could" take it but the buyer is not legally at risk according to the import laws - just the seller. If you can get it - you will find it similar to some of the opiated alcoholic liquors available in some backwoods places in Italy. Then we can talk about hallucinogines :)
But what most people get in the way of Absinthe is about the same as Jaeger as far as effects

Absinth is great with red bull!! :thumbsup

now there is a combination I would not want to taste, Personally I like the Anis taste, but mixing it with red bull, that I dont know about :Oh crap

yeah , I like Absinth , usually I drink King Of Spirits (Gold) , 70% , Thujon - 100 mg/l =))))

well absinth that come on the 80% alchol version can lead to hallucinations .. never tried it yet.

i had absinth at a party a few months ago. I dont know if the guy prepared it right but what ever he did, i was drunk, relaxed, and not full on seeing stuff, but things did look a lil different. I would definitly do it again, hallucinations or not. The guy had it imported, so it was not the stuff you can buy in the U.S. He also got 2 bottles shipped different ways because customs might take em if the found them, so im assumeing they were good stuff. just my 2 cents..

You guys don't hallucinate because the absinthe you buy contains maybe 10mg of Thujone/Wormwood.. Why don't you try one that contains 100, and see the difference..I've had absinthe like 8 times and I only once saw trippy shit which was my first time, which contained 100 mg of thujone. The rest I just got really drunk and did crazy shit.. There are a lot of absinthe websites, but the one with the most variety of absinthe is BuyAbsinthe.com.. I love this drink..And if you guys want to try something new, I call it Dave's Death Mix Extravaganza..Everclear+Absinthe+Red Bull=Death:)

It doesnt taste that bad actually... Strong, but not a bad taste...
I prefer other drinks though..

I know Vincent Van Gogh cut his ear off after drinking absinth. He did make some nice paintings as well after drinking it! :1orglaugh

nice info man, im gonna look into this :thumbsup

:thumbsup

You dont hallucinate any more
but it comes in very different strengths from 40% to a staggering 90%
strongest i have had is 85% but your supposed to burn it with sugar to lose some of the alcohol
tastes like Pernod...Licorice taste but wih more kick
:Oh crap

tried it and it's not bad, try Zivania lol

myth... he had syphilis, which lead to his insanity :2 cents:



absinthe is not really supposed to be hallucinatory... if you are seeing shit, then it was not made properly... the effects that it was praised for were clarity of mind and a lubrication of speech :upsidedow

there is still one place in the cheq where they make the real shit
\

but never tried it

...and further more:

...the whole green fairy thing people think of from movies is BS...

the term green fairy was coined by Alistair Crowley in a poem of the same name that he wrote about Absinthe... it is metaphorical, "chasing the green fairy" is a play on the the term "chasing the dragon" which is a reference to smoking opium; which was at that time the drug of choice for poets and artists

Alistair Crowely was a mystic philosopher, a poet and a Free Mason, who started his own sect of masonry called the Order of the Thelema, which focused on the combination of masonry with Magick and other mystical religions which might eplain dragons and fairies

:pimp

Ouzo with Kava Kava.
Whatever the claims of Absynth are.

Ouzo with Kava Kava will deliver.

I love good Absinthe :thumbsup
