@thedemonnemo "absinthe poisoning is pretty rare" as in NEVER happens? Yeah, there's poor fools that drink wormwood essential oil and end up with seizures and liver failure, but drinking traditional alcohol-distilled absinthe- which we now know (thanks to proper GC-MS analysis) ALWAYS has had a median total (alpha plus beta) thujone content of only 33 mg/L. You'd die of alcohol poisoning way before you could hope to "OD" on thujone in authentic absinthe.

@WildBillTurkey Many foods have trace poisons but most are water soluble and leave the body with urine, sweat, or respiration never reaching toxic levels, however, thujone bonds with alcohol forming an ester which is fat soluble and may take months to leave the system. Additionally, the brain is almost entirely formed of cholesterol molecules, toxins which are esterized and lipidized can pass the blood brain barrier and then damage the brain. But alll the same, absinthe poisoning is pretty rare.

dead man walking drink this because their brain has reached a point of mass ignorance.

@prooc Exactly!

Even if you tried to overdose on thujone you'd get alcohol poisoning before the thujone does anything to you. That's right, college students already die from binge drinking and your complaining about an herb. Absinthe is legal because of the FDA Mike, not the liberals in office. Lets blame everything on the liberals. Right? Who killed the Jews in the Holocaust. Nope, not Hitler. Guess again, it was the Obama administration. lol

Todays absinthe is not the like the old type

Well, the absinthe certainly didn't help Van Gogh's mental state, I can guarantee it.

@WildBillTurkey So the FDA is now the authority on health,lol? Does that mean that aspartame, sucralose, yellow dye number 5 and prozac are good for you too?
Grow up.
