I have on multiple occasions. I've never liked it much to be honest. And Yes, I've had the 'real' shit, in Spain, Rome, and Amsterdam.

Asking Americans if they have tried Absynthe is ridiculous, considering America does not sell the real shit, but only an imitation of it because it contains hallucinogens. You will not find it anywhere in the U.S.
 

 it's illegal in a lot of places in europe too  
 doesn't mean people haven't had it


I know this, but most people who have drank something with the same name, they think it is the same thing. The U,S. sells the legal form of Absynthe, but it isn't the real thing, however, most people who drink it think it's the real thing... so they think they've had it.

Take your shitty foreign attitude and shove it up your ass.


Absynthe is absynthe. It fucks people up totally different than any other alcohol no matter what is or is not in it, so I don't think anyone really cares.

funny thing is, it has minimal, if any, psychoactive properties (aside from what alcohol does normally). even your 'real' shit.

I've had the 'real green one' in Spain, and fuck it's disgusting.
Although that is possibly only because I hate licorice...
What I want to know is.. the green one is called 'Cannabis' Absinthe, but does it actually contain Cannabis??

It actually is legal in the US.  The main psycoactive ingredient (thujone) has to be under a certain level to be sold in the US.  It contains half to a third the amount of "real" stuff, but is still real.

You are just jealous you can't have the real shit =P

Anybody who knows the difference between the real shit and the legal stuff knows that the fake Absynthe is shit compared to the real thing.

It has a hallucinogen drug in it, which is believed that, compared with regular alcohol, can cause convulsive seizures if ingested in large amounts...  However, the less the amount of thujone, the less amount of negative side effects.

This is why the United States is so anal about the amount of thujone in their absinthe. People think it is the real shit since it has been legalized in 2007. But it can only contain less than 10ppm thujone... which then this absinthe is considered to be thujone-free!

So therefore, no it is not the same thing to all you other people out there.
