Lucid Absinthe v. Kubler Absinthe...Which is Better?!


Question: Both brands of supposed genuine absinthe are now available in the US. Lucid with a slightly higher alcohol content. But do both contain thujone? According to the research I've done, they must have less than 10ppm of it. But do both brands actually even have it in them? Which one is better? What are the differences?

Lucid was designed by TA Breaux the worlds leading absinthe expert so I always recommend it.

However, here are the facts.

1. Absinthe has never caused hallucinations. The whole myth was started as a smear campaign by the French wine industry when Absinthe sales and a grape shortage was about to drive them out of business. It was then picked up by the Temperance movement and perpetuated for the past 130 years. This has been proven by chemical testing on vintage absinthe form the late 1800's

2. Thujene does have some psychotropic effects but you would be dead from alcohol poisoning long before you say anything.

3. If you don't like anise (black liquorice) you won't like absinthe.

4. Great video all about it.
