Absinth doesn't cause hallucinations, it's a myth.

Incorrect... Thujone's effect is cumulative... this is to say that if you drink it regularly the effects intensify. Have two or three drinks a day and by day 5 you'll be seeing the fairy. If you only binge drink it one night you'll just get very drunk. |

For the record, absinthe has never been illegal in the United States, only illegal to sell because the FDA wouldn't approve it.
At no time in the history of the country would you ever face any legal action for possessing a bottle of absinthe. |

Here's what Wikipedia says:
| quote: | | Today it is known that absinthe does not cause hallucinations, especially those described in the old studies. Thujone, the supposed active chemical in absinthe, is a GABA antagonist and while it can produce muscle spasms in large doses there is no evidence it causes hallucinations. |

| If it's on Wikipedia it must be true. |

| this particular brand is 62% alcohol, and my guess is that you'll die from alcohol poisoning long before you see any hallucinations. watching it louche is pretty sweet, though. in my experience -- 8 different brands from five countries -- the higher-level thujone [30-35] have been sold only in smaller bottles and didn't have anise added. yes, it tastes like you're drinking tree bark :wtf: but :crazy: |
