A while back we gave you the heads-up that wormwood absinthe was coming to town. We are giddy (read: blotto from absinthe) to report that the green fairy has touched down at certain liquor stores. “Lucid Absinthe has come in and is on the shelf, ready to go,” is the good word, via e-mail, from LeNell’s.
CHEERS

I didnt think its tasted that bad. We had a bottle from my friend who plays in czech a lot, and he put sugar on it and lit it on fire.
I didnt have any hallucinations. but some people were delusional!!
(not a liquor to be fucked with, seriously.)

its pretty bitter/licorice by itself, hence you need the accessories: a spoon, sugar cube, cold water.
most absinthe sold doesnt contain enough thujon to produce hallucinations in everyone, but some people may be particularly sensitive to it.
it does have a high alcohol content though, so its pretty much guaranteed to fuck you up one way or another :P

Hence the reason I can never have it....well not hallucinations but then again I don't remember much from that night so maybe

yeah some imported stuff once in college that didnt have much wormwood in it. originally you would drop some laudanum in the shot which would react with the wormwood and cause hallucinations i think. but laudanum's basically a poison. these days the stuff is usually just strong liquor

To his defense, Trump didn't even really look like a bum.

we didnt put ours in a spoon, but the heat and the sugar definately made ti go down quite smooth (as compared to the original flavor )!!
I am so scared of fire being that close to me so it took a bit of convincing from my peer-pressuring friends LOL
