Please see my video response which fixes the audio sync problem.

I'm sorry the audio doesn't sync. I'll try to fix it later.

I've drank 3 bottles of the Lucid and have yet to see any "green Fairies". Though I do live in San Francisco and am sure that green fairies are quite plentiful in the Castro District.

I am drinking some lucid as we speak.

Wouldnt looking at temperance films for a perpective on absinthe be a lot like watching reefer madness to learn about marijuana?

Sorry, don't know how that snuck in there. It uses natural coloring via chlorophyll.

[MeekDrill]

@Jcolinsol Natural Food Coloring ???

[Jcolinsol]

What execrable journalism. There are dozens of fallacies in here. The media sucks.

@MeekDrill

On what principle? It contains Anise, and wormwood. It's distilled. It uses natural food coloring. That's all there is to it.

@iakazul OMG JAJAJA

LUCID IS NOT REAL ABSINTHE

Get the real stuff, Duplais Blanche or Mansinthe or others, but do not drink Lucid

Very interesting. I had heard the rumors about absinthe (can't spell it) thru my love of the late 19th century days, but never really understood. Now I get it. Boy, maybe some brainiac will eventually realize that THZ ain't so bad either. One can always dream I guess.

So, CBS assigned a pregnant woman to a story about alcohol? Hmm... It's like Marlee Matlin if she worked for Rolling Stone.
