-- Posted by Elephantis at 7:23 pm on Dec. 29, 2008 My friend brought home European absinthe, i loved it. It's a different drunk and not that hard to take down (if you dilute it and shit). Have you ever tried absinthe? -- Posted by StereoRock9 at 7:24 pm on Dec. 29, 2008 i want to, was it red or green? -- Posted by J U S T at 7:24 pm on Dec. 29, 2008 I want some really bad. -- Posted by furbylicious at 7:24 pm on Dec. 29, 2008 Yes. But I find being drunk boring, so I wasn't that into it. -- Posted by MakingaDifference001 at 7:24 pm on Dec. 29, 2008 no, but it sounds interesting -- Posted by Dass at 7:25 pm on Dec. 29, 2008 hows it diff? -- Posted by runthespread at 7:25 pm on Dec. 29, 2008 Yeah, you gotta add sugar and water and stuff to make it digestable. It tastes like licorice. -- Posted by Jay91 at 7:25 pm on Dec. 29, 2008 its pretty illegal in the states. how did he bring it ? -- Posted by bloodyXkisses at 7:26 pm on Dec. 29, 2008 nope -- Posted by malignant melanoma at 7:26 pm on Dec. 29, 2008 Ever since I saw Nine Inch Nails "the Perfect Drug" music video, I have. -- Posted by Elephantis at 7:26 pm on Dec. 29, 2008 Quote: from Stereorock9 at 7:24 pm on Dec. 29, 2008 i want to, was it red or green? green -- Posted by LoveKay at 7:32 pm on Dec. 29, 2008 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. -- Posted by OkayKelsey at 7:34 pm on Dec. 29, 2008 yes that night i slept in the garden -- Posted by cum funnel at 7:34 pm on Dec. 29, 2008 Quote: from LoveKay at 7:32 pm on Dec. 29, 2008 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.

I've never liked it much to be honest. And Yes, I've had the 'real' shit, in Spain, Rome, and Amsterdam. -- Posted by heatherette at 5:37 am on Dec. 30, 2008 Quote: from LoveKay at 10:46 pm on Dec. 29, 2008 Quote: from Pixel Dust at 8:34 pm on Dec. 29, 2008 Quote: from LoveKay at 7:32 pm on Dec. 29, 2008 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.

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. -- Posted by Narfled the Garthok at 6:38 am on Dec. 30, 2008 Quote: from heatherette at 5:37 am on Dec. 30, 2008 Quote: from LoveKay at 10:46 pm on Dec. 29, 2008 Quote: from Pixel Dust at 8:34 pm on Dec. 29, 2008 Quote: from LoveKay at 7:32 pm on Dec. 29, 2008 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.

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?? -- Posted by samurai608 at 1:47 pm on Dec. 31, 2008 It's legal to buy and drink absinthe in the united states, it's been this way since 2007..... -- Posted by dingle at 2:22 pm on Dec. 31, 2008 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. -- Posted by LoveKay at 2:23 pm on Dec. 31, 2008 Quote: from heatherette at 6:37 am on Dec. 30, 2008 Quote: from LoveKay at 10:46 pm on Dec. 29, 2008 Quote: from Pixel Dust at 8:34 pm on Dec. 29, 2008 Quote: from LoveKay at 7:32 pm on Dec. 29, 2008 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 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. -- Posted by LoveKay at 2:37 pm on Dec. 31, 2008 Quote: from charolastra at 12:32 pm on Dec. 30, 2008 Quote: from LoveKay at 10:46 pm on Dec. 29, 2008 Quote: from Pixel Dust at 8:34 pm on Dec. 29, 2008 Quote: from LoveKay at 7:32 pm on Dec. 29, 2008 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.

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. -- Posted by roflfuckyou at 8:19 pm on Dec. 31, 2008 I have, but now I cant remember if it was the real stuff or not..
