Zen Storm::. think its legal in the US too? Sweet deal! I
figured Id see some more of it down there, or hear more of
it then..... hey if its legal you can order some right to
your door or get your local bar/pub to order some so you can
drink!.....

Find it on the net... its "Hills Absinth"

absinth is to be used wisely. it's strong stuff.
Always add some water... even if someone already add water.
Better let the stuff workin slowly.

A special brew:
"La boisson du héros"

kalaim badkaama::. yes I have been drinking many shots of it
lately, it is VERY strong..... 75% alcohol not to mention
the weird shit they put in it that makes you feel way more
drunk and all fuzzy and somewhat halucenogenic...
somewhat..... whenever you buy some you get an extra thing
of water on the side to add, also adding cinnamon helps to
take away from the taste of burning!... unless you enjoy
it.. which its ok.

>:D

back to drugs of course.... absinth has wormwood in it, the
other active conscoiusness altering substance besides
alcohol.

"Real" absinthe is illegal in the USA. There are a couple of
companies trying to ride the bandwagon and sell
absinthe-like drinks.

It's wicked stuff! I had it once and that was enough.

the real stuff aint cheap. So you'll have to find a pretty
clued up place to get 'good' absinth. YOu can get Czech and
French stuff. The Czech stuff is a bit cheaper. But
personally I would say go for the French.

Apparently a lot of poets used to drink it for it's somewhat
hallucinogenic properties. I think coleridge might have
been in to it, and some of the beat poets.

Absynth is fermented wormwood, which is a poison. It has
Halucinogenic properties, and has been known for driving
quite a few painters and poets and such insaine due to
alchoholism.

It is legal to buy both the real (absynth) and the synthetic
(absent) in canada. Altho the real shit is like, $90-$100+
per bottle.

Yes, notice how many of van goghs pictures are of cafés and
such. its because its there he got the shit.

i´ve stopped drinking alcohol completely a while ago. after
3 years of drinking, i thought to myself "what is it good
for"?

do i need alchohol to be braver?
no. that would be the only plus side of drinking it.

you loose money, you become stupid. whats the point? fuck
that shit. but do it for all i care, i´m just saying i´ve
gotten sick of drunk people, and the way alcohol is a huge
factor in our culture.

"Absinth makes the heart grow fonder"

Im more into downing bottles of vodka, and then waking up in
the middle of nowhere in a pile of my own puke. Nice.

all of those poets and respectable ppl of the 19th century

days.
