abcs Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 the chemical composition of wormwood is similar to that of THC. That said i have read that it does not translate into any psychoactive effects. Its a fun procedure tho. The whole pour some absinthe on some suger and set it to fire. Fresh if you are entertaining guests and shit like that. The reason behind its unavailability in America i'm pretty sure has to do with the FDA. Some of the ingredients are not recognized by the FDA as safe for human consumption... You could always try your hand at some homemade hookup. the herbs are openly available, the recipe is on the internet. Once you have it all mixed and let it soak for a time you could try your hand at distilling. Ive youtubed the shit before. I dont remember the whole process but I think it involves boiling the raw spirit cooling it and what drips out the tube is the finished product. Couple things to consider. Boiling Everclear is about as good an idea as boiling gasoline. You are way better off just coming off the 100 something for a bottle from Europe. But if you like a good project have at it. Everything i've outlined here probably cost too much but it can be done Or you could just do everything short of the distillation... its not absinthe but its liquor soaked in the absinthe herbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnomeToys Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 Thujone is a ketone and a monoterpene that exists in two stereoisomeric forms: (+)-3-thujone or α-thujone and (−)-3-thujone or β-thujone. It has a menthol odor. Even though it is best known for being a chemical in absinthe, recent tests show absinthe contains only small quantities of thujone, and may or may not be responsible for absinthe's reported psychedelic effects. Thujone acts on GABA and 5-HT3 receptors[1] in the brain. In many countries the amount of thujone allowed in food or drink products is regulated[citation needed]. Regarding 5HT-3 receptors: When the receptor is activated to open the ion channel by agonists, the following effects are observed: * CNS: anxiety[13] * PNS: neuronal excitation (in autonomic, nociceptive neurons), emesis[13] Sounds like a lot of fun. I've never talked to anyone who drank real absinthe who was in any way tripping from it, but it's amazing what kind of responses you can provoke in someone by telling them something will happen when they take a drug.

rob steal Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 i was drinking a bunch of the alameda absinthe a few years ago and had the czech stuff more recently in australia. http://articles.sfgate.com/2007-12-05/news/17273166_1_lance-winters-anise-and-fennel-bottle the whole wormwood bit is a bunch of nonsense as the thujone is in parts per billion. thujone in mass quantities "is bad stuff," but small amounts are found in a number of herbs, ingredients and materials, including sage and cedar, and are considered fairly harmless. More notable is absinthe's high alcohol content, typically 120 proof or more, about 50 percent higher than vodka and whiskey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tabloid- Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 take into consideration when Van Gogh was drinking this shit, he was drinking 20- 30 glasses a day of UNREGULATED absinthe (basically moon shine). It gained popularity during a wine shortage (infected grape vines). It's more likely that the hallucinagenic effects were coming from mixing opium with massive quantities of alcohol, not from wormwood. So take a vicodin and sip some Eduoard 72 ( the French make the best quality absinthe ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KILZ FILLZ Posted December 26, 2009 Author Share Posted December 26, 2009 Homie, i think your confused Pernod is not absinthe. its an annaseed based spirt and taste a fuck load better then absinthe. that shit is like drinking fucking mouth wash, if you want to trip out just got and buy a tab of acid and save the stomach pump for later idiot. oh word? sounds like you sure know what youre talking about.... :lol: http://www.pernod.net/histoire/absinthe/index.htm In 1805, Henri-Louis Pernod founded the company "Pernod Fils" in Pontarlier, in the Doubs region of France, and soon developed sales of absinthe. Success was certain. Known as the "green fairy", absinthe became the favourite drink of artists seeking new tastes. The painters Manet and Degas and the poets Verlaine and Musset immortalised it in their works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
