i don't think it's got hallucinagenic properties.
i've read a bit about the stuff, and alot of people that i've
read reports on don't claim to really get any similar effects
out of it. just some hard ass liquor with some herbs... (WORMWOOD)
and some people have said that they have memory problems
when using it occasionally (more than once a week).
i'll pass and stick with the shit i drink now. at least i can
just run down to the corner store and get it.
Cannabis Vodka - Mild spirit made from cereal alcohol, treated water and sugar with hemp seeds of Beniko species (Cannabis sativa L.). Unique vodka with the distinct taste of Cannabis.
Thujone is a toxic chemical present in wormwood and has a similar molecular geometry with THC, the active chemical in cannabis. SWEET
Anyone tried Ouzo, i downed half a bottle (my mate drinking the other half) in shots, in 5 minutes, after drinking a crate of Carling with him and one other, needless to say, i was fucked, and not too good the next day either:)
Despite the fact that thujone is classified as a convulsant poison, many doctors and scientists consider thujone to be a powerful drug, and psychoactive in relatively low dosages. :)
Anise is another one of the main herbs used in making legitimate Absinthe. It is not toxic, however a strong dose induces drunkenness, trembling, epileptic convulsions, muscle spasms, analgesia and sleep, just like opium.
Fennel, as has anise seed, fennel seed has a potentially psychoactive anethole.
Hyssop, in progressive doses, is believed to have a convulsive property.
Angelica root is grown as a drug in Lapland.
Coriander is mentioned as an aphrodisiac in the Arabic One Thousand and One Nights, and is said, in the same text, to conjure up the Devil when used in combination with fennel.
Calamis contains psychoactive asarones, used as an inebriant by Native Americans.
So we are left wondering if Absinthe, or rather wormwood and its essence thujone in Absinthe, is to blame for its effects.
It sounds great ! So will it make me hallucinate ?
Not after one shot!
Remember, all those poets were not just occasional drinkers ! Vincent Van Gogh drank enormous amounts of Absinthe, and as a result his paintings were characterized by intense yellow hues and halo effects, such as in his still life of an Absinthe glass and water decanter painted in 1886.
So how will I feel after drinking Logan Fils Absinthe made the old way?
Logan Fils absinthe made the old way has all the essences in the same proportions as in old original absinthe, including particularly Grand Wormwood, Genepl, Petite Wormwood, Anise, Fennel and others. These essences together with wine spirit have quite a significant effect on the body, in that you can drink much more of the stuff than other strong spirits and it does not make you feel drunk but ...
As Oscar Wilde once described :
"The first stage is like ordinary drinking, the second when you begin to see monstrous and cruel things, but if you can persevere you will enter in upon the third stage where you see things that you want to see, wonderful curious things."
And this is what probably made famous artists what they were.
That is from the FAQ on absinth.com
So am I man. Does it stop me from drinking? Hell no. All you need is friends. by having friends, this opens you up to friends older brothers/sisters who will buy you booze. (As long as you are over the age of 12. Otherwise, what the fuck are you doin drinkin?!?!?)Quote:

It did give me the worst splitting hangover I have ever experienced though. I think it is just overrated and hyped up since it is not easy to find a good bottle of it. anyone else have a good experience with it?Quote:

yes but is it safe? who has tried it? or would it be better to buy mouthwash.
its no problem for me, you could dilute it in some pop or milk and it would be a normal drink.
