The affects of ABSINTHE?!
Answers: hi, i'm just wonderring what the affects of absinthe are like? and is it true that it makes you hillusinate? thanks
I have two bottles in the kitchen right now. I don't know who said it takes alot to get a buzz...the real stuff is 150 proof. I split 350 ml with my fiancee and we were not seeing visuals...it felt more like getting hammered on some liquid pain pills. There was a curious green 'haze' on everything and I didn't feel as I was inside my body, more like looking at myself from the outside. It is legal to have it here, the type with the wormwood, which is the only type you want, just illegal to sell it. I get it mailed to my house from the check republic. check this site out, it will tell you everything you want to know about HOW to get the real deal.
Absinthe is a distilled, highly alcoholic (45%-75% ABV), anise-flavored spirit derived from herbs, including the flowers and leaves of the Artemisia absinthium plant, also called “wormwood.” Absinthe is typically of a natural green color but is also produced in both clear and artificially colored forms. Although it is sometimes mistakenly called a liqueur, absinthe is not bottled with added sugar and is therefore classified as a spirit.[1] Absinthe is uncommon among spirits in that it is bottled at a high proof but is historically diluted with water when it is drunk.
Absinthe originated in Switzerland. However, it is better known for its popularity as an alcoholic drink in late 19th- and early 20th-century France, particularly among Parisian artists and writers. Due in part to its association with bohemian culture, absinthe was opposed by social conservatives and prohibitionists. It was portrayed as a dangerously addictive, psychoactive drug. The chemical thujone, present in small quantities, was blamed for its alleged harmful effects. By 1915 absinthe had been banned in most European nations and the United States. Although absinthe was vilified, no evidence has shown it to be any more dangerous than ordinary liquor. Its psychoactive properties have been much exaggerated.
A revival of absinthe began in the 1990s, when countries in the European Union began to reauthorize its manufacture and sale. As of February 2008, nearly 200 brands of absinthe were being produced in a dozen countries, most notably France, Switzerland, Spain, and the Czech Republic.[2]
It's really powerful stuff! I had a swig one time (probably not even the equivalent of half a shot) and got a buzz going.
I'm not sure if it makes you hallucinate, I've never had that much. But I suppose if you drank enough, you'd get really drunk.
It will definitely hit different than other alcohol. I got paranoid and seeing shadows moving out of the corner of my eye with 3 shots and it takes a lot to get drunk. I doubt you will see a green fairy, but its some trippy ****, ill say that much.
I think you have to light it on fire to make it glow and make you hallucinate..
Only the Absinthe thats made in Europe and contains wormwood, which is illegal in the USA. It's the wormwood that causes the lsd effect. The Absinthe that you buy here is just another liquor and will only get you drunk.
Different people who have had the real one say thats its sickening. The effects exagerated.
My advice? Don't drink!
drunk.. coz the absinthe now uses different ingredients. it doesnt have the same effects that it used to have before it was banned. in modern days, they does not use worm wood in it.
you waste a lot of money. if you want booze get it. if you want hallucinogenics buy acid. spend 80 bucks on a bottle to do both but doesn't do either very good. then you have spent 60 bucks to much.
