    You cannot get the real stuff legally in the US and have to order it.

    The reason why most Absinthe does not make you hallucinate is because it does not contain wormwood. Wormwood is the ingredient (a chemical of some kind) that has hallucinogenic properties. Almost all commercial Absinthe does not contain it. From my knowledge, Absinthe containing wormwood can most easily be found in France.

    I've tried several kinds of Absinthe, none with wormwood, and I got pretty fucked up on it, mostly because it was really strong alcohol (ranging from 66% to 90%). It tastes ok, mostly like gross licorice.

    My friend actually has two bottles of Absinthe that contain Wormwood, and we plan on trying it either before the end of the semester or during the summer.


    also, if i remember correctly, most all commercial Absinthe is already green...

    most of the other stuff isn't. it turns a milky green after the sugar cube is added.

    If you got the real stuff you will.

    Two drinks of it and you'll feel like you've had 5 reg. drinks with the added bonus of the wormwood.
    I've had it a few times and it makes you feel all warm inside and it screwed with colors. LOL I never hallucinated per say, but it does make things a little "different". :)

    Now I'm interested in trying this stuff... is there anything like it that's available in the states?

    some of my best staff pub nights in summer '06 involved pre-drinking (read: chugging) absinthe.
