we were predrinking before the club and i was feeling fine when about an hour later i was hit, i dont remeber the rest of the night but all i know i woke up in my room next day on the floor with my eye all bloddy and my face was covered in redspots..all over the face, i showed up at work (restaurant) and they told me to go home because i looked like i had chickenpox.

me too. The legal limits the EU allows for Thujone (aka wormwood) are only 10mg to every KG of liqour. weak by old day standards. so while it may contain wormwood, it is generally regarded as not being able to mess you up the way it used to prior to its ban. This revial of it since the 1990's is a way to cash in on the name for the most part.
Hell even Canada has the following policy:
Liquor laws are the domain of the provincial governments. British Columbia has no limits on thujone content; Alberta, Ontario, Nova Scotia and Quebec allow 10 mg/kg thujone, and all other provinces do not allow the sale of absinthe containing thujone (although, in Saskatchewan, one can purchase any liquor available in the world upon the purchase of a minimum of one case, usually 12 bottles x 750ml or 8 x 1L). The individual liquor boards must approve each product before it may be sold on shelves, and currently, only Hill's Absinth, Elie-Arnaud Denoix, Pernod, Absente, Versinthe and, in limited release, La Fée Absinthe are approved. Other brands may appear in the future.
The reason you may still get retardely drunk is thought to be due to the way the ingredients hold it in your system so the alchohol hits all at once.
Wormwood is shown to store in fat cells. which means that in high doses you may suffer hullucinations days after consuming wormwood if you work out or start burning fat.... ie go to a club and start dancing and the wormwood will act as a release to compliment the alchohol hitting harder at once. |

most of the readings that i have done about absinthe suggest that the once with lower alcohol content are actualy supirior because that way you can drink more to get more of a wormwood effect and not a drunk as effect...
i have tried absenthe my self in Israel 2 years ago, but it was so nasy that i could not drink enough in the short period of time that i had to drink so i ended up drinking vodka shots as well and i was simply smahed but couldnt tell if i was experiancing effects of wormwood...
the person who is gettin this for me is an artists so i hope he has some background knowlegdge on the subject and gets me the good stuff... they live in germany but they decided to pick up the stuff in spain.. i hope its because its better there hehe |

| if it's illegal it doesn't mean there aren't any real absinthe in the country. real black caviar is now illegal to sell in russia unless you have licence to sell it. it doesn't mean that there is no black caviar sold illegally. the entire world functions this way, sadly. but i know what you mean ;) |

I drank some at this bar in london .. dont think it was the wormwood stuff but it was really really potent to the extent that while wandering down the streets i decided to relieve my bladder only to be busted by the cops 30 seconds later because i didnt realize it was outside a boots store window that had then triggered of an alarm ... got an 80 pound ticket as well
absinthe doesnt give you a typical alcohol high ...its more of a numbing feeling in your brain which dims your vision and apparently makes you disjointed from your surroundings as i found out :rolleyes: |
