@therealmcdickson lol, its hot hallucinogenic,and it wasn't said that it is.. its psychoactive
-
@nalyib ...hence why I put 'hallucinogenic' in quotations.
-
lol you only get hallucinations if it isn't made correctly, mainly when they add copper mixtures for color. and absinthe isn't the crazy alcohol content everybody says i drink the stuff straight. you want something crazy go get some moonshine
-
@LizofLamont thujone distills out of the wormwood. And the chemical affects of thujone are convulsions, not halucinations.
-
@LizofLamont It's not thujone that made it 'hallucinogenic'. No absinthe drinkers were ever reported to have hallucinations except for end-stage alcoholics in asylums. The idea was that absinthe drinking drives you mental sooner than other alcohol, but its real goal was to ban the most fashionable alcoholic drink (chronic alcoholism raged like plague back then).
Thujone-free in US means < 10 ppm. Many of the old absinthes had only as little as that, and they had 25 ppm on average.
-
@LizofLamont The levels of thujone are strictly regulated in the US, I believe.
-
it was actually lifted in 2002.

This vid was made in '06, but in '07 the ban in the US was lifted. Also, it isn't wormwood that made it 'hallucinogenic', but the chemical known as thujone. Absinthes sold in the US are thujone-free, as far as I know.
People like you are the reason absinthe was banned. There is not one shred of medical evidence that supports your/(anyone's) claim that wormwood is a hallucinogenic compound. Don't believe me?Prove me wrong. You can drink a case of the stuff and not suffer anything more than a wicked drunk and worse hangover. Videos of this nature are misleading, filled with error and contribute to absinthe's villainy.
