House is not just a groove. House is a feeling. And when u feel it, you will understand... house music gets you up and makes you high...

I have......it is much better then the crap here. Expect to get drunk very quickly....but don't expect to see actual green fairies flying around.

+1 it's only still legal in less than 20 countries. Spain is not one of them.

I have done mouthfulls of Absinte and I can tell you 1)it burns the throat, 2) it will make for one of the most interesting nights of your life if you do it on Halloween!

not with reall wormwood though.
Absinthe as a drink is making a big come back now, New Orleans even has a distillery now... however it's not the same as the stuff they used to make in the 17 and 1800's.
The hullucinagen wormwood is what makes it illegal... no wormwood and you can sell it in many more countries, ie spain. But with wormwood and there are few countries that allow for such a drink.

ya they do sash. when i was in barca this summer i tried it. i don't know if the one in ibiza was real though cuz it tasted different but nada will tell you soon. bitch come pick it up it's fuckin' turning brown!!

I had ordered a couple of bottles from Europe earlier this year.

Very high thujone content, and 70% alcohol. The thing about thujone is that it makes you feel less drunk than you actually are. So I had to be careful about getting alcohol poissoning while still trying to get the effects of the wormwood.

I loved the stuff. I like higher percentage alcohols, and this was right up there. It felt really clean, and you felt high for the first 20-30 minutes. The actual thujone only has about a 30min max effect on you, after that its the alcohol. After the initial buzz wore off, I was very very drunk, but still in control.

I cannot say enough good things about the stuff, and I just wish they still shipped that particular brand to Canada.
