My absinthe has a 110 mg of thujone and after sipping slowly over a few hours a rare buzz is experienced. Almost comparable to mushrooms...feeling a bit weird and laughing at silly shit. I believe the absinthe you brew does not have enough thujone in it. You sound like you know alot about absinthe, just not alot about good absinthe.
@itssuperduper It's quite curious brecause alpha-thujone is metabolized in the liver within half an hour and beta-thujone doesn't do much. After a few glasses of booze, people "feel" whatever they're supposed to feel....
A monster dose of thujone (equals to about half a litre of your wonder-absinthe) dissolved in a single glass was tested on human subjects a few years ago, and they didn't feel a thing. Obviously, they were not drunken enough to imagine those "effects".
@DanielAmayaFinn you need to smoke some weed and chill the fuck out. He was only saying google it...asshole. Normally I dont post comments but your a fuckin dick who deserves a good ass whoopin
@ramas456 All kinds of spirits can cause hallucinations if you're a hardcore alcoholic. Absinthe drinkers didn't have it any more often in the 19th century than others drinking rum, gin, brandy. Absinthe – as a novelty – was just easier to demonize than traditional spirits, so alcohol prohibitionists went for it. They didn't come up with any real evidence, ever.
WOW.. american idiot companies lying. REAL absinthe has not been made legal in the USA. USA absinthe does not have thujone in it. Thujone, and thujone only is what gives absinthe its extra kick. You cant have absinthe with out the thujone. it will taste the same, but not feel the same. You have to buy it from europe. This guy is so full of it, lying salesman. He says he doesnt think thujone is important? haha its only because he cant make any legal that has it in it. snake of a guy.
@MrFriedolays Ever had a trip on thujone? Go eat sage ( = fakloads of thujone) then wonder why you didn't trip ballz. There were PLENTY of 19th century premium absinthes that did not pass the 10 ppm maximum that's allowed in the States (the wonders of distillation, y'know). Know why? Because back then, no-one gave a f*** about thujone content, expect for keeping it relatively low due to its reputation as a poison. Thujone as a "recreational drug" is quite a modern idea.
@gdaman1313 Oh really? I can just google it? Cause for a second there, I thought I was gonna have to fly halfway across the US to meet a guy who knows a guy that knows a European fellow that i'd have to pay to fly to Europe and back with the absinthe smuggled up his ass then fly back across the US with it smuggled up my ass in order to get home and enjoy this very controversial illegal drink. But thanks to you, now I know I can just google it. You smartass piece of shit cock sucker. Thank you
@DanielAmayaFinn really dick? was that stupid rant of yours necessary, if you know that you can find it on the net then why ask such a stupid question , and i wasnt being a smartass i was just telling you it is as easy as just googleing an absinthe maker in which you could order some. thats all asshole
I think absinthe tastes way better with sugar and water. Straight, it's very strong and burns my whole face, haha. My ears burn, my tongue goes numb, it just is not enjoyable for me.
There is nothing wrong with using sugar to help the absinthe go down. Let's face it, it has a really strong flavor and most people prefer to drink it with sugar.
Burning the sugar cube and dropping it into the absinthe evaporates some of the alcohol and helps you feel the wormwood a lot better. This is called the Bohemian Method, and I would imagine that a writers and artists would prefer this method because you get the benefits of the wormwood without getting too drunk to work.
@MissGnosis it's called the bohemian method, but it's bullshit. it's not historically accurate. it was made up by marketers who were trying to sell Czech absinthe in England in the 90s.
@MissGnosis and no, it doesn't 'help you get the benefits of the wormwood', it ruins the taste. unless of course your absinthe tastes like crap in the first place, in which case ruining the taste might be an improvement. :p
I love absinthe. I have never tried to overdo it in order to start tripping. That being said, Absinthe messed me up a coupe of times, and sparked up some crazy thoughts in my head. I don't know what you were expecting. If you were disappointed, you were expecting something else.
@MissGnosis You have to REALLY overdo it to actually hallucinate- the hallucinogenic nature of it isn't generally very easy to get out of the kinds of absinthe commercially available today. I've had A LOT of it before and I've never hallucinated.
i drank this 4 the 1st time expecting to trip out BIG time, i never been more disappointed in my life! i wana trip out like in euro trip wat am i doin wrong? hell i shot 6 of these ABSOLUTELY non thing! this is a huge disappointment
@LAPD27JK You've believed bullsh1t on TV/internet, that's exacly where you are doing wrong:) The trip absinthe can give you is acute alcohol intoxication. You may have fits and everything. Not as fun as crack:P
@LAPD27JK Maybe because you should stop being an idiot and actually read up on some facts before you do something. Also, this speaks volumes to the fact that you're most likely not ready to trip, and you would probably end up hurting yourself or others. People like you are what give drugs a bad name.
The Wormwood Society is an excellent source that offers hundreds of reviews of authentic absinthe from around the globe. Meadow of Love by Delaware Phoenix is an exceptional absinthe (imho) that is available in the US and can be purchased online via catskillcellars . com
If memory serves, it wasn't the wormwood -- it was unskilled distillers producing high levels of methanol in the final product.
I enjoy a glass once every six months, but am tired of hearing that it 'makes you trip' or you need a high thurjone content for it to be 'real'. One of my friends actually bought this 'concentrated absinthe mix' he bought from someone on the net that you add to alcohol. Long story short, it gave him and his friends a seizure and they think that's what absinthe is.
@GeneralMaximus4 I can. It's personal preference. If you have never had absinthe before, then Lucid is a great place to start. Chances are you won't like it, which is fine. If you do, then I would check out the wormwood society forum. There are many people over there that can advise you on others you may like based on your preferences. It's like wine or beer. A person can be perfectly happy with a brand that is not highly rated and not like one the is considered "the best."
But by posting again, you did bother...you silly asshole. But, I must agree with you: my several typos were an error, so I do offer apology for not noticing them and causing confusion. (re:can w/o the errant "V",genre, et al) But in this age of over-reliance of spellcheck and shortcuts, I suppose I was in too much of a hurry to fuck with you and jumped the grammer gun....Again, apologies. Fuckhead.
@Cthulhusmiles Marijuana can't kill you. Alcohol and marijuana both make people do incredibly stupid things, but physiologically marijuana simply isn't toxic enough to cause an overdose or death. It would be more feasible burn so much marijuana in a confined space or container and asphyxiate on the smoke from lack of oxygen than to smoke so many joints it killed you. In that case it would be more like literally drowning in a bucket of whiskey than actually dying of alcohol poisoning.
..And to be clear Swatdolt:Weed cvan cause lethargy which, in large enough fashion could cause one to perish in an accident or other situ that slow reflexes could impede. This is not to say I condemn weed; on the contrary I think it should be enjoyed; albeit in a responsibily...there now you know...oh and you dubshit music is shit. Get an actual genere! ;))
@GeneralMaximus4 Mythe is so bad that it doesn't even meet the basic definition of absinthe. At least it was the case 3 years ago, but that kind of brands tend NOT to evolve.
Lucid is much better (i'd say some 6/10), but it doesn't worth its price. You may want to order some fine American brands like Vieux Carre or Pacifique.
seriously, its all part of nature how to drink absinth, each to theyr own i say, tastes are diffrent, i for instance am drinking absinth for over 1 year (im 19 now) and drink it pure, without fire or anything, except for "cami Gothicsinth" (almost 180 proof) that stuff is pretty dangerus, and i burn it in a smal shotglass, sugar on the spoon, sugar with spoon in the glas, pull out, light it, after the fire is gone, drop the sugar, smash it, stir - and there you go -just my way to drink, and you?
@TheVinnimoesje Oh I bet it was good. I bet it was fabulous. I hope you aren't located in the US at this moment. Because if he brought absinthe to the U.S. it would be against the law. But I am sure the absinthe you had is everything I would ever imagine it to be. I am working on finding a loop hole in the current U.S. law. :) Did you see the green fairy? :) haha
I have had a couple bottles of this, inckuding some imported from France, but if you get a really good Vodka, like Stolichnaya, you'll get the same effect. A good buzz without the headache and without spending $60 plus for a bottle. Unless, of course, you actually drink this stuff just for the taste.
I have been reading that the thujone isn't the "magic" ingredient at all. I drank Lucid which has true ingredients. The US govt was concerned about thujone ok -so there is less thujone. Can anyone who has either drank a vintage absinthe circa 1800's or even European Absinthe to compare experiences? personally I was pleasantly surprised by the happy buzz I had -and I didn't 'feel' drunk in the same way -I felt energetic and more alert than someone who normally drinks that much -I kicked back 3 .
@impdream70 Thujone is well documented to be the magic ingredient. Now, its next to impossible to prove it because people respond differently to drugs and alcohol, but it's so well documented that is why the government has put a limit on the amount of Thujone and apparently it does the trick. From there logic would connect the dots. If you want to drink the real stuff you have to do a bit of research and find out what countries legalies the real stuff lately. previous post said Spain.
@airmikec1 Well documented?? Where? It's a 100-year old myth that have never been proven! It has to be limited only because it's toxic in high doses, and law has to protect even alcoholics who may end up worse if they ingest some high-thujone booze. The other part is hysteria: did you know that France used to limit fenchone and pinocamphone at a toxicologically unreasonable level in order to stop absinthe from re-spreading? Following your logic, fennel and hyssop would be the 'magic plants'.
@nalyib It is well documented, but apparently you don't know how to do research. But that is okay because not everyone is meant to be smart. Someone has to make my burger and fries when I go out. With that said, debating with you would be like junk punching myself. It solves nothing and it only shows an act of stupidity. This is my last reply, because I have better things to do with my life. Besides I have researched this alcohol for the better part of a year.
@airmikec1 Aw it's so easy to tell 'it's vell documented somewhere'. The neglible effect of thujone is very well tested&documented (Rutgers University), as well as pre-ban absinthe's low thujone content (too many times), and I'm also not into making burgers; sorry about that. Besides, I've been researching the roots of absinthism for 1,5 years.
It's also too bad that no source mentions absinthe having instant 'hallucinatory' effects prior to 1915....
@nalyib You're an idiot. I looked up those 2 chemicals you mentioned in your previous comment & I researched each one for 30-45min. They are flavorings & that is it. You know what makes me more qualified than you to claim that Thujone is the ingredient for hallucinatory effect?. I have 3 engineering degrees & research is what I do. Let me guess, you are smarter than me & all the other governments that put a limit on Thujone, right? Just because Rutgers says something, doesn't mean it's true.
@airmikec1 I regret to say you have interpretation problems. These two chemicals are indeed harmless, but they were still severely limited in France. Does it mean they are psychoactive/toxic? NO! It means that anything may be limited for ridiculous reasons.
Ah, did u hear about Wilfred N. Arnold? He's an admired biochemist (most probably having more degrees than you), and he still have made up plenty of bullsh1t about absinthe. He forgot to check a bunch of things and also forgot to experiment.
@nalyib You may call scientific consensus a redneck theory; you're still just a webtroll shouting idiot on others. Would be glad to hear about those well documented documents, which are, I suppose aren't for my redneck eyes. I also thought you had no time to reply. Do you have to wait this much for your burga'?:P
Ah, and I'm certain, too, that I've won this argument. Why not:D Good luck to you too.
@airmikec1 Thanks for that clarification. My next question would be if you could answer it is with regards to the wormwood used in US absinthe and the wormwood used in the Euro stuff if it is in fact different at all or genetically modified(as one forum suggested) namely Grande Wormwood. That said what I am really asking is what methods for lowering Thujone content for US versions of Absinthe -is it some filtering process -or- is it a different strain of Grande wormwood?
Absinthe today is not the same Absinthe that was banned a 100 years ago. The Thujone from wormwood is what allows people to hallucinate. The TTB has said that no domestic or imported Absinthe can contain more than 10ppm of Thujone. So most likely you will not hallucinate, however, the next time you are in Europe a few European countries have legalized real Absinthe again.
@airmikec1 No one ever hallucinated from absinthe or wormwood, tard. It's a myth. You seem to be concerned with documented facts, why not take 5 minutes to look it up. Then come back and apologize for being an idiot. Well, if you consider yourself a real man and not the little troll that you are living in mommy's basement.
@Ugotpwned66: I would be more hurt, but I am more educated than u, I have 3 engineering degrees. Next, I am currently launching a brewery & distillery. Your lack of intelligence makes u not worth talking to, u insulted me many time in 400 characters or less. This shows u are not able to carry an intelligent conversation. If u could, u would have proven me wrong. You're right though, u are smarter than me & to end this pathetic conversation I can live with the fact that I am nothing compared to u
@airmikec1 Do you know me? No you don't. You have no way of knowing my education level. I do know that you are completely wrong. I know that you cannot proof read so your response sounds idiotic. It shows that you are not capable of intelligent conversation and if you want to end it you shouldn't respond. Instead you wanted to sneak your pathetic little jab in there first then pretend to be the bigger person. You really are a loser and anyone who reads your comment will laugh at you. Ha ha!
@Ugotpwned66: I know your education level based on how you speak to people and how you present ideas. You are a hair above retarded. U are the type of person that likes to argue and u think u are right and everyone else is wrong. Pathetic I tell ya, absolutely pathetic. My response was proof read, and I read it again. It's fine the way it is considering I only have 400 characters. Then you chose to insult me more in your last reply. Trust me, people will think u are the loser. :)
@airmikec1 Coming here every know and then, telling people how educated you are, but never showing any argument for your so-last-century theory is a tinge more pathetic, I'm afraid.
I'm also afraid you choose to call me an idiot last time when you couldn't follow my arguments (I was told it was an insult in some cultures.) I understand, however, that your degrees won't make you happy (or any more educated in the topic, for that matter), so feel free to continue trolling anyway.
@nalyib: I want to say this is the smartest thing anyone has said yet. I was hoping logic would prevail, thats why I didnt give proof. My education gives me credibility. I work with lots of scientists that are plant biologists. Finally, lots of other scientists (PhD's not pathetic backyard people that don't have a clue) have already examined worm wood & claim that Thujone is the psychedelic toxin. Research papers/journals on this subject can be seen at (Scopus) or (Web of Science). Now Go Away!
@airmikec1 No,it wasn't that logical actually. You came telling that thujone is "the" magical ingredient, while you won't find any reference to direct "psychedelic" effects in pre-1915 documents. All they had on display was the hallucinations of end-stage alcoholics and convulsions of overdosed guinea-pigs. You're trying to answer the wrong question. Btw, will those papers show that thujone in absinthe is anywhere near to pass NOEL,or that thujone is indeed psychedelic and not only psychoactive?
@nalyib: First off. I AM NO LONGER REPLYING TO MESSAGES AFTER THIS 1. Initial conversation had a logical path. If you can't follow logic, that isn't my problem. Psychedelic/Psychoactive who cares you get the same desired affect. I am answering the right question, without Thujone then you just have alcohol and people typically don't hallucinate over alcohol. Unfortunately Benoit Noel, seems to believe people do hallucinate due to alcohol. If so, I will make vodka and put an Absinthe label on it.
@airmikec1 I know you're "no longer replying", you've said it before. Seems we're getting closer. People typically don't hallucinate over alcohol, that's right! And there are NO case reports about healthy men hallucinating over ABSINTHE (as known in the 19th century) either! Only some "aw-i-have-many-degrees" gods of science (including you) found it unnecessary to read pre-ban papers properly, hence failed to realise that there were NO effects reported that would imply and "magical ingredient".
@nalyib: In closing on this subject. Absinthe is primarily made with wormwood & a few other ingredients. The rest of the ingredients are well known, well studied, & know what their affect is. Now wormwood has Thujone. It has also been well studied and majority of people believe it does affect the mental state. You are in the minority. If you don't think wormwood causes these affects, I bet you don't understand how Marijuana, cocaine, and heroin works. U need to get an Engr. or Science Degree.
@airmikec1 I understand how psychedelics work. Thujone is a GABA-antagonist, with which it doesn't appear to be the créme of them, and EVEN if it did, how is the pre-ban average of 25 mg thujone supposed to pass NOEL while 400,000–600,000 mg of ethanol is carrying it? Oops, I guess that's a question not to be asked. As for degrees, top-scientist collegues and articles that cannot be read witout institutional access: are you serious constantly referring to things that cannot be verified?
@Ugotpwned66: I know your education level based on how you speak to people and how you present ideas. You are a hair above retarded. U are the type of person that likes to argue and u think u are right and everyone else is wrong. Pathetic I tell ya, absolutely pathetic. My response was proof read, and I read it again. It's fine the way it is considering I only have 400 characters. Then you chose to insult me more in your last reply. Trust me, people will think u are the loser. :)
I drank this. And i just got very drunk. I didn't seen any strange things like green things or flying pigs. Some people says you see it if you drink Absinthe
One night my friend and I drank 5 shots of absinthe in 1 go, (on top of a few pints) after that I vaguely remember being pushed through oncoming traffic in a shopping trolly and then trying to punt beer bottles off a stage in some club, I have no idea what happened after that, the next day I woke up in my shower and had flooded my apartment.
As an experienced drinker, as well as a hardcore skeptic (I'm an athiest lol), I never thought that Absinthe would make me 'trip'. However, I must say that Absinthe is now my favourite drink simply because it's the best 'drunk' I've ever experienced. Far from thinking that Thujone would do all sorts of things, I drank it for the first time and told myself it was nothing more than a tasty high-proof alcohol. But honestly, it's the best, most lucid, most functional drunk I've ever had.
@ProjectVIN so its not just me! I had 4 shots of 70%, the buzz feels clean and extremely pleasant. Got me drunk, (had a couple of beers aswell), could still function well though. the down side was that even in small quantities I do feel it in the morning. Maybe not the best stuff for the liver lol. I got through a 20 cl bottle in a day wants but can't remember much after that.
@SwatbotDubstep Yeah it cant moron. Having a drink of absinthe will not harm you. Now drinking it in doses as to the point of alcohol poisining and dieing from that is a differen't story and I never feel bad for those people.
@SwatbotDubstep Weed does not kill you nor does Absinthe, unless of course, you are a stupid abuser of either and cannot curb your addictive personality. Oh, and if you do not care for the government, fuck off and find a new place to live....dumbshit.
@Cthulhusmiles Backwards ass moron. You just said "neither kills you", then you said they can if you don't control yourself. Here's the thing, even if you didn't control yourself, weed still wouldn't kill you. As for the government, there is no government that can please everyone. It's not like I can go to another planet.
@SwatbotDubstep Your right I did say neither kills you UNLESS you cannot curb your addictive personality. so how does that make me a "backwards ass moran"? Maybe if you slow down, little brain, and re-read the statement (or read it aloud if that helps) you might think before you choose to retort. Or maybe not. It could be that your too slow to pick up on it. As for the government, if no government pleases you, might I suggest suicide? I hear weed and absinthe can kill...go to it, winner!! ;)
@Cthulhusmiles Wow, you're too stupid argue with. You don't seem to understand what I what I said what-so-fucking-ever, so I'm not going to bother. Oh, for future reference, don't insult someone's intelligence when you don't even know how to spell/argue correctly.
Absinthe tastes a lot like black licorice mixed with a strong mint taste. Imagine the taste of Yager, but without the smell or taste of human shit. (Not that I've tasted human shit...lately.)
only difference is it's concentrated as in the one i'm drinking is 68% or something... Le Fee parisienne. Apparently the first since the ban in 1915, Anyhow, everything in moderation and I wouldn't recommend anis type drinks to people uninitiated especially with blackcurrent around white carpets.... long story but you get the idea :s
What kipptumor claims is completely false. Real absinthe is absolutely sold in the U.S. and many countries in Europe have the same 10ppm of thujone requirement. This is the authentic absinthe, however absinthe just went threw almost a century of demonizing just like beer once did and this myths are still believed by a few ignorant people. The artificially colored and high thujone content bragging "absinthes" are actually the fakes.
@Ugotpwned66 "In 2007 the French Lucid brand became the first genuine absinthe to receive a COLA (Certificate of Label Approval) for importation into the United States since 1912" You should probably get your facts right before accusing someone of false information.
Buy an 8th of shrooms, eat them. You will hallucinate, it won't cost $60 and you'll get what you paid for. Even REAL absinthe wont make you trip like a a bag of boomers. You'll get DRUNK, but it wont make you trip.
Anything labeled "absinthe" in the U.S. is fake - period. Whether bought in a store or ordered online from another exotic land, the U.S. will only allow "absinthe" with 10 parts of Thujone PER MILLION into the country. So whatever THIS stuff is, it is not authentic absinthe.
Any absinthe bought in the U.S.(and almost everywhere else) is not real, it's just strong green alcohol. Thujone is the drug that will fuck you up and it breaks down over time, meaning all those hundred year old bottles they tested had a fraction of the thujone they really used to. Real absinthe has 100 mg (thereabouts) of thujone and will have green herbish shit at the bottom (notice this absinthe doesn't), you can mail order the real deal I'm told. Have fun!
@carpediem51392 Absolutely wrong. There are terrible absinthes out there and some are trying to make a buck off the trend and the lifting of the ban in the U.S. but there is definitely real absinthe in the U.S. The crap sold in Europe that brags about thujone content and has artificial colors to make it brighter green are not real. Lucid is real and approved in the U.S. Mansinthe, La Clandestine, and Kubler is the same formula used in Europe is approved in the U.S.
@jps9901 where would i be able to get some of this lucid stuff? its my friends birthday in couple weeks i want to bring out a special kind of drink for his 19th.
@RatBone09 I wouldn't recommend it. Most younger folks don't seem to like it. It tastes like medicine to them and the flavor and aroma is quite strong. Also not a good idea to contribute to a minor if you're in the U.S. However it is available at many liquor stores, but you run the risk of just having it sit there as everyone goes for the other alcohol.
@jps9901 i want to buy it for the fact of how drunk, or intoxicated you can get, me and my friends like to try random drinks to try them, but how is this lucid stuff though?
@RatBone09 Well it doesn't sound like you are old enough to buy it. Good thing since the last thing anyone needs is you and your friends running around drunk out of your minds. Like I said, it will probably sit there while everyone goes for the cheap alcohol. I'll bet you won't like it and the gallon of $10 vodka will get you just as drunk.
i have to say i think absinthe is one of the most foul tasting drinks as i hate the taste of aniseed, every one said it was hallucinogenic but i never felt it.
@xPOSSUM45x Last time i tried it i had the Hapsburg absinthe and that was sumthng like 84.9% alcohol, tasted kinda like anaseed / mouthwash from what i can remember
Anyone that doesn't believe this guy should read a book or do some research. The absinthe of today in both the US and Europe is nothing like that of 100 or 200 years ago. The process and the "additives" are completely different. All it does is give you a good drunk, like most alcohol. If you're actually seeing stuff on this, you either have a head injure, have been slipped something, are on a drug or are a weak drinker. TIA.
Lance and the producers, I tended bar at a party about a month ago, and throughout the night repeatedly had to convince people that "no, you don't need to set the sugar cube on fire", we actually compared the two, thanks to having done some research which included watching some of your videos, a healthy number of people walked away from that night appreciating Absinthe and asking me over and over what I did differently than everyone else that theirs was so good. I just wanted to say THANK YOU.
Look at my video The Effects of Absinthe and see what this does for it, its hilarious if you are the spectator other wise your falling off shelves and your pants are falling down with you .... check my video out thumbs up if you like it
Lol this video is retarded, American Absinthe is not the real deal, American abisinthe does not have wormwood, it is illegal to have wormwood absinthe in the US and in Australia (where I live). But..... my friend's 18th tomoz he got it imported from France, that shit's the real deal :) GONNA GET FUCKED UP!!!!!!!!
@KingTrebla Wormwood isn't illegal, pretty sure it never has been anywhere in the world. The way it's made in America isn't any different than European Absinthe. Or at least there's no reason to change it, never tried this guy's stuff. I did however drink quite a few different kinds in a local bar that specializes in it, never experienced anything other than your usual drunkeness.
@paulunga well, there are restrictions on the thujone levels... if there wasnt you would have assface college boys doing shots on fire and later having convulsions...
@KingTrebla No, moron. It's never contained hallucinogens. Any "effects" are pure placebo and suggestion. You're probably one of these dipshits who thinks that peyote is inside of tequila worms. You're taking an urban myth literally. This video contains accurate information, which is rarity on youtube.. It's the 21st century. Accurate facts and information are merely one click away. You're either willfully ignorant or too dense to separate the facts from fiction. Study basic biochemistry
@ritter89 wow..... how mature of you sir, "study basic biochemistry" I'm not going to study a subject I have no interest in at all because some yt user who took a reply to heart for whatever reason told me too.
And no, im not willfully ignorant or dense, I simply was educated what seems to be incorrect. so please do yourself a favour and stop trolling people on youtube and insulting them. It's called maturity, i'm 16, you're probably older yet your maturity is to a lesser extent.
Anyone who reads your original comment, and thinks your "mature" is just as stupid as you are. Why would you even come on an absinthe video and start stating facts when you clearly know nothing about absinthe? If your not motivated enough to learn a subject, then don't try to teach that subject.
@KingTrebla I,m pretty sure the Koruna Absinthe here in Australia has Wormwood in it cos it is seen on the bottom of the bottle.(The herbs stuff).Maybe that the only one here.Not to sure.Cheers
I would say that it's all up to every persons very own sense of taste! :) I'm just one of those who don't like to blend a perfectly good absinthe with other stuff when the taste is good as it is! ^^
Let me get this straight ...people lined up around the block because they thought they were about to get a psychedelic ...? if that is the case - then I guess there is some hope for this country
taking shots of this is the best way to drink it a shot is like a punch in the face but the added water and sugur is like a man tickling your balls its just wrong id rather be punched in the face
Cannabis is a depressant, that doesn't mean it makes you depressed. Just because wormwood is called convulsive doesn't mean that's its immediate affect.
What an alcoholic this guy is. He won't put a sugar cube on the spoon!? So why have the fucking spoon!? Sugar cubes go on the spoon. End of story!!!! I bet he wouldn't put ice with a single malt Scotch either. He's just a piss artist.
My absinthe has a 110 mg of thujone and after sipping slowly over a few hours a rare buzz is experienced. Almost comparable to mushrooms...feeling a bit weird and laughing at silly shit. I believe the absinthe you brew does not have enough thujone in it. You sound like you know alot about absinthe, just not alot about good absinthe.

@ramas456 All kinds of spirits can cause hallucinations if you're a hardcore alcoholic. Absinthe drinkers didn't have it any more often in the 19th century than others drinking rum, gin, brandy. Absinthe – as a novelty – was just easier to demonize than traditional spirits, so alcohol prohibitionists went for it. They didn't come up with any real evidence, ever.

WOW.. american idiot companies lying. REAL absinthe has not been made legal in the USA. USA absinthe does not have thujone in it. Thujone, and thujone only is what gives absinthe its extra kick. You cant have absinthe with out the thujone. it will taste the same, but not feel the same. You have to buy it from europe. This guy is so full of it, lying salesman. He says he doesnt think thujone is important? haha its only because he cant make any legal that has it in it. snake of a guy.

@MrFriedolays Ever had a trip on thujone? Go eat sage ( = fakloads of thujone) then wonder why you didn't trip ballz. There were PLENTY of 19th century premium absinthes that did not pass the 10 ppm maximum that's allowed in the States (the wonders of distillation, y'know). Know why? Because back then, no-one gave a f*** about thujone content, expect for keeping it relatively low due to its reputation as a poison. Thujone as a "recreational drug" is quite a modern idea.

wrong. Most European and even American Absinthes sold now, are on average 62-72% by volume. Never, seen a real absinthe less than 60%
the only difference in absinthe today, is it's much cleaner. The stuff 200 years ago was ROTGUT, and produced very cheaply most of the time.

I think absinthe tastes way better with sugar and water. Straight, it's very strong and burns my whole face, haha. My ears burn, my tongue goes numb, it just is not enjoyable for me.
xxxchaotixxx 2 months ago
There is nothing wrong with using sugar to help the absinthe go down. Let's face it, it has a really strong flavor and most people prefer to drink it with sugar.
Burning the sugar cube and dropping it into the absinthe evaporates some of the alcohol and helps you feel the wormwood a lot better. This is called the Bohemian Method, and I would imagine that a writers and artists would prefer this method because you get the benefits of the wormwood without getting too drunk to work.

If memory serves, it wasn't the wormwood -- it was unskilled distillers producing high levels of methanol in the final product.
I enjoy a glass once every six months, but am tired of hearing that it 'makes you trip' or you need a high thurjone content for it to be 'real'. One of my friends actually bought this 'concentrated absinthe mix' he bought from someone on the net that you add to alcohol. Long story short, it gave him and his friends a seizure and they think that's what absinthe is.

@GeneralMaximus4 I can. It's personal preference. If you have never had absinthe before, then Lucid is a great place to start. Chances are you won't like it, which is fine. If you do, then I would check out the wormwood society forum. There are many people over there that can advise you on others you may like based on your preferences. It's like wine or beer. A person can be perfectly happy with a brand that is not highly rated and not like one the is considered "the best."

@Cthulhusmiles Marijuana can't kill you. Alcohol and marijuana both make people do incredibly stupid things, but physiologically marijuana simply isn't toxic enough to cause an overdose or death. It would be more feasible burn so much marijuana in a confined space or container and asphyxiate on the smoke from lack of oxygen than to smoke so many joints it killed you. In that case it would be more like literally drowning in a bucket of whiskey than actually dying of alcohol poisoning.

I have been reading that the thujone isn't the "magic" ingredient at all. I drank Lucid which has true ingredients. The US govt was concerned about thujone ok -so there is less thujone. Can anyone who has either drank a vintage absinthe circa 1800's or even European Absinthe to compare experiences? personally I was pleasantly surprised by the happy buzz I had -and I didn't 'feel' drunk in the same way -I felt energetic and more alert than someone who normally drinks that much -I kicked back 3 .
impdream70 7 months ago
@impdream70 Thujone is well documented to be the magic ingredient. Now, its next to impossible to prove it because people respond differently to drugs and alcohol, but it's so well documented that is why the government has put a limit on the amount of Thujone and apparently it does the trick. From there logic would connect the dots. If you want to drink the real stuff you have to do a bit of research and find out what countries legalies the real stuff lately. previous post said Spain.
airmikec1 7 months ago
@airmikec1 Well documented?? Where? It's a 100-year old myth that have never been proven! It has to be limited only because it's toxic in high doses, and law has to protect even alcoholics who may end up worse if they ingest some high-thujone booze. The other part is hysteria: did you know that France used to limit fenchone and pinocamphone at a toxicologically unreasonable level in order to stop absinthe from re-spreading? Following your logic, fennel and hyssop would be the 'magic plants'.

airmikec1 7 months ago
@airmikec1 Aw it's so easy to tell 'it's vell documented somewhere'. The neglible effect of thujone is very well tested&documented (Rutgers University), as well as pre-ban absinthe's low thujone content (too many times), and I'm also not into making burgers; sorry about that. Besides, I've been researching the roots of absinthism for 1,5 years.
It's also too bad that no source mentions absinthe having instant 'hallucinatory' effects prior to 1915....

@nalyib You're an idiot. I looked up those 2 chemicals you mentioned in your previous comment & I researched each one for 30-45min. They are flavorings & that is it. You know what makes me more qualified than you to claim that Thujone is the ingredient for hallucinatory effect?. I have 3 engineering degrees & research is what I do. Let me guess, you are smarter than me & all the other governments that put a limit on Thujone, right? Just because Rutgers says something, doesn't mean it's true.
airmikec1 7 months ago
@airmikec1 I regret to say you have interpretation problems. These two chemicals are indeed harmless, but they were still severely limited in France. Does it mean they are psychoactive/toxic? NO! It means that anything may be limited for ridiculous reasons.
Ah, did u hear about Wilfred N. Arnold? He's an admired biochemist (most probably having more degrees than you), and he still have made up plenty of bullsh1t about absinthe. He forgot to check a bunch of things and also forgot to experiment.

My next question would be if you could answer it is with regards to the wormwood used in US absinthe and the wormwood used in the Euro stuff if it is in fact different at all or genetically modified(as one forum suggested) namely Grande Wormwood. That said what I am really asking is what methods for lowering Thujone content for US versions of Absinthe -is it some filtering process -or- is it a different strain of Grande wormwood?
impdream70 7 months ago
Absinthe today is not the same Absinthe that was banned a 100 years ago. The Thujone from wormwood is what allows people to hallucinate. The TTB has said that no domestic or imported Absinthe can contain more than 10ppm of Thujone. So most likely you will not hallucinate, however, the next time you are in Europe a few European countries have legalized real Absinthe again.

airmikec1 4 months ago
@airmikec1 No,it wasn't that logical actually. You came telling that thujone is "the" magical ingredient, while you won't find any reference to direct "psychedelic" effects in pre-1915 documents. All they had on display was the hallucinations of end-stage alcoholics and convulsions of overdosed guinea-pigs. You're trying to answer the wrong question. Btw, will those papers show that thujone in absinthe is anywhere near to pass NOEL,or that thujone is indeed psychedelic and not only psychoactive?
nalyib 4 months ago
@nalyib: First off. I AM NO LONGER REPLYING TO MESSAGES AFTER THIS 1. Initial conversation had a logical path. If you can't follow logic, that isn't my problem. Psychedelic/Psychoactive who cares you get the same desired affect. I am answering the right question, without Thujone then you just have alcohol and people typically don't hallucinate over alcohol. Unfortunately Benoit Noel, seems to believe people do hallucinate due to alcohol. If so, I will make vodka and put an Absinthe label on it.
airmikec1 4 months ago
@airmikec1 I know you're "no longer replying", you've said it before. Seems we're getting closer. People typically don't hallucinate over alcohol, that's right! And there are NO case reports about healthy men hallucinating over ABSINTHE (as known in the 19th century) either! Only some "aw-i-have-many-degrees" gods of science (including you) found it unnecessary to read pre-ban papers properly, hence failed to realise that there were NO effects reported that would imply and "magical ingredient".
nalyib 4 months ago
@nalyib: In closing on this subject. Absinthe is primarily made with wormwood & a few other ingredients. The rest of the ingredients are well known, well studied, & know what their affect is. Now wormwood has Thujone. It has also been well studied and majority of people believe it does affect the mental state. You are in the minority. If you don't think wormwood causes these affects, I bet you don't understand how Marijuana, cocaine, and heroin works. U need to get an Engr. or Science Degree.
airmikec1 4 months ago
@airmikec1 I understand how psychedelics work. Thujone is a GABA-antagonist, with which it doesn't appear to be the créme of them, and EVEN if it did, how is the pre-ban average of 25 mg thujone supposed to pass NOEL while 400,000–600,000 mg of ethanol is carrying it? Oops, I guess that's a question not to be asked. As for degrees, top-scientist collegues and articles that cannot be read witout institutional access: are you serious constantly referring to things that cannot be verified?

As an experienced drinker, as well as a hardcore skeptic (I'm an athiest lol), I never thought that Absinthe would make me 'trip'.

What kipptumor claims is completely false. Real absinthe is absolutely sold in the U.S. and many countries in Europe have the same 10ppm of thujone requirement. This is the authentic absinthe, however absinthe just went threw almost a century of demonizing just like beer once did and this myths are still believed by a few ignorant people. The artificially colored and high thujone content bragging "absinthes" are actually the fakes.

Buy an 8th of shrooms, eat them. You will hallucinate, it won't cost $60 and you'll get what you paid for. Even REAL absinthe wont make you trip like a a bag of boomers. You'll get DRUNK, but it wont make you trip.

Anything labeled "absinthe" in the U.S. is fake - period. Whether bought in a store or ordered online from another exotic land, the U.S. will only allow "absinthe" with 10 parts of Thujone PER MILLION into the country. So whatever THIS stuff is, it is not authentic absinthe.

Any absinthe bought in the U.S.(and almost everywhere else) is not real, it's just strong green alcohol. Thujone is the drug that will fuck you up and it breaks down over time, meaning all those hundred year old bottles they tested had a fraction of the thujone they really used to. Real absinthe has 100 mg (thereabouts) of thujone and will have green herbish shit at the bottom (notice this absinthe doesn't), you can mail order the real deal I'm told. Have fun!

@carpediem51392 Absolutely wrong. There are terrible absinthes out there and some are trying to make a buck off the trend and the lifting of the ban in the U.S. but there is definitely real absinthe in the U.S. The crap sold in Europe that brags about thujone content and has artificial colors to make it brighter green are not real. Lucid is real and approved in the U.S. Mansinthe, La Clandestine, and Kubler is the same formula used in Europe is approved in the U.S.

@jps9901 where would i be able to get some of this lucid stuff? its my friends birthday in couple weeks i want to bring out a special kind of drink for his 19th.
RatBone09 1 year ago
@RatBone09 I wouldn't recommend it. Most younger folks don't seem to like it. It tastes like medicine to them and the flavor and aroma is quite strong. Also not a good idea to contribute to a minor if you're in the U.S. However it is available at many liquor stores, but you run the risk of just having it sit there as everyone goes for the other alcohol.
jps9901 1 year ago
@jps9901 i want to buy it for the fact of how drunk, or intoxicated you can get, me and my friends like to try random drinks to try them, but how is this lucid stuff though?
RatBone09 1 year ago
@RatBone09 Well it doesn't sound like you are old enough to buy it. Good thing since the last thing anyone needs is you and your friends running around drunk out of your minds. Like I said, it will probably sit there while everyone goes for the cheap alcohol. I'll bet you won't like it and the gallon of $10 vodka will get you just as drunk.

i have to say i think absinthe is one of the most foul tasting drinks as i hate the taste of aniseed, every one said it was hallucinogenic but i never felt it.

Anyone that doesn't believe this guy should read a book or do some research. The absinthe of today in both the US and Europe is nothing like that of 100 or 200 years ago. The process and the "additives" are completely different. All it does is give you a good drunk, like most alcohol. If you're actually seeing stuff on this, you either have a head injure, have been slipped something, are on a drug or are a weak drinker. TIA.

Lance and the producers, I tended bar at a party about a month ago, and throughout the night repeatedly had to convince people that "no, you don't need to set the sugar cube on fire", we actually compared the two, thanks to having done some research which included watching some of your videos, a healthy number of people walked away from that night appreciating Absinthe and asking me over and over what I did differently than everyone else that theirs was so good. I just wanted to say THANK YOU.

Lol this video is retarded, American Absinthe is not the real deal, American abisinthe does not have wormwood, it is illegal to have wormwood absinthe in the US and in Australia (where I live). But..... my friend's 18th tomoz he got it imported from France, that shit's the real deal :) GONNA GET FUCKED UP!!!!!!!!
KingTrebla 1 year ago
@KingTrebla Wormwood isn't illegal, pretty sure it never has been anywhere in the world. The way it's made in America isn't any different than European Absinthe. Or at least there's no reason to change it, never tried this guy's stuff. I did however drink quite a few different kinds in a local bar that specializes in it, never experienced anything other than your usual drunkeness.

@paulunga well, there are restrictions on the thujone levels... if there wasnt you would have assface college boys doing shots on fire and later having convulsions...
furvert101 1 year ago
@KingTrebla No, moron. It's never contained hallucinogens. Any "effects" are pure placebo and suggestion. You're probably one of these dipshits who thinks that peyote is inside of tequila worms. You're taking an urban myth literally. This video contains accurate information, which is rarity on youtube.. It's the 21st century. Accurate facts and information are merely one click away. You're either willfully ignorant or too dense to separate the facts from fiction. Study basic biochemistry
ritter89 1 year ago
@ritter89 wow..... how mature of you sir, "study basic biochemistry" I'm not going to study a subject I have no interest in at all because some yt user who took a reply to heart for whatever reason told me too.
And no, im not willfully ignorant or dense, I simply was educated what seems to be incorrect. so please do yourself a favour and stop trolling people on youtube and insulting them. It's called maturity, i'm 16, you're probably older yet your maturity is to a lesser extent.

@KingTrebla
Anyone who reads your original comment, and thinks your "mature" is just as stupid as you are. Why would you even come on an absinthe video and start stating facts when you clearly know nothing about absinthe? If your not motivated enough to learn a subject, then don't try to teach that subject.

Cannabis is a depressant, that doesn't mean it makes you depressed. Just because wormwood is called convulsive doesn't mean that's its immediate affect.
