cook Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 I'm glad I'm not drinking absinthe right now. I drank absinthe once and threw up for 24 hours. Â Now I am also drinking warm water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunglehead Posted August 3, 2005 Author Share Posted August 3, 2005 I've seen Absinthe in the liquor store down here in Orygun. It's 46 dollars a bottle, and I don't know if it has the ingredient that makes you want to hatchet your loved ones (i.e. wormwood), but it's there.

deadbeatchrist Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Absinthe is not legal to sell in the US. It is legal, however, to import. Though I have heard that customs will take it from you if they find it... kind of a slap on the wrist thing for bringing hallucenogens into the country.

fenderfour Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 The issue with Absinthe is the wormwood that is used to make it. It is considered poisonous in the US. Most of the hallucinagenic effects from absinthe are largely anecdotal. Â http://www.feeverte.net/ Â You can get one of the cheapest brands at the Duty Free shop at the CA border.

catbirdseat Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 (edited) The presumed active ingredient in wormwood's oils, alpha-thujone, has a similar molecular structure to menthol, a-pinene, eucalyptol, camphor and other monoterpenes. Formerly believed to have a THC (cannabinoid) structure-activity relationship and mechanism, a-thujone is now known to modulate only an entirely different receptor site, the GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) system. GABA moderates the firing of neural synapses; a-thujone mildly antagonizes such inhibition.
