Absinthe - hallucinogenic from Wormwood. Been illegal in Europe until very recently, still illegal in the U.S. Been told by some European friends (one that is a medical doctor) that Swiss is the best to purchase. And that some are kind of moonshine themselves and that since Wormwood is actually poison, it is every dangerous to get.


Oh, and thanks ofr the answers, Richard.

 

Newsflash: Alcohol is poison also

 

everything is a poison. too much of anything will kill you.

 

Not a newsflash, the body can take very large amounts of alcohol as opposed to the wormwood derviative I was talking about. If I have to choose between one or the other, I'll take my chances with alcohol.

 

Besides the quote I use in my signiture, Dave Zeuchel used to say "Gasoline is for washing parts, Alcohol is for drinking and Nitro is for racing."
I have had that stuff "absinithe" but didn't like it. Thankfully, as I usually like anything that is bad for me.
Perhaps if I had known it was bad for me I'd have given it a second chance.
Maybe I'll try it again, which one you say is the most expensive? That's another bad habit I have.

 

I travel alot to europe (ITALY to be correct) and I can tell you that I have a bottle, (WELL 1/2 a bottle) of absinthe sitting in my freezer currently and the stuff taste like concentrated yager (sorry for the bad spelling). the one I have is the diluted version. crazy stuff though. drank it in italy did 2 shots of the strong concentrated version and then woke up the next day wondering how the hell I got home that night

 

Maybe it wasn't prepared correctly Richard

Did anyone mention Van Gogh yet?

Must be careful with that stuff from the sounds of it.


(My best man was going to give me a bottle of absinthe for a wedding gift )

He mentioned that he still has it to try.

 

I've had the Van Gogh brand and another one too. I thought they were alright. One of my best friends had 7 different bottles of the stuff. Including 2 bottles of Thujone (The wormwood liquid) that you could add too your absinthe if you wanted.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thujone - Says claims of it being dangerous (at the low doses found in Absinthe) and a hallucinogen are unfounded. Personally I had quite a bit of the stuff, with extra thujone and I didn't notice any "Special effects".

What a great thread.

 

You visit Rotten.com? You are demented! (from one who knows)

 

No special effects?!?

Dude you have tattoos that glow in the dark!
I think that stuff had more of an effect than you think.

 

a compound derived from wormwood is also a very effective anti- malaria drug. like 90% effective.

 

You can't get malaria if you're dead! That's pretty effective.

 

I googled Van Gogh and that was one of the first hits.

Thought the same thing after I saw the source.

Sounds like we are all alcoholics here.



Richard who is first in line for the AFS?

 

You drink the wormwood AFTER drinking the moonshine. The you will hug ANYBODY'S Momma and think she looks like a Ginko tree.
As for expense--how about some 100 yr old ginseng I have in a sealed container.(from my martial arts days/competition/networking)? I MAY trade it for an AFSC package--installed. Or a 50yr old TRUE Bonsei? (would not be able to get a complete system for that.)
As for a poison--even water can be harmful if used wrongly. And I drink too many damn diet cokes.

and so the AFSC thread goes off on another journey thru space.... 8)

 

Have to talk about something during the final developement!

Man! This supercharger sounds REALLY cool. I do hope a solution is found for us AT owners!!!

Ja, water can be very tricky, alot of people consume too much.

It's called drowning.

 

seriously drinking too much water can upset your electolyte balance causing lots of problems and even death.

 

If you had to pick one fluid to drink too much of, the safest one is definitely water.

 

Usually Americans don't drink enough and that causes health problems too.

 

well i dont know- too much gatorade for instance- is their such a thing? it perhaps could upset your stomach

water , on the other hand, kills http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp...nguage=printer

 

You know a thread is off track when the moderators hijack it.

 

My theory- The anticipation is driving you all batty so you have to talk rubbish to keep sane.
