Absinth is a beautiful alcoholic beverage that can cause Hallucinations…
History:
Absinthe was the drink of choice among artist and writers in the mid to late19th century. It inspired poets and appeared in works by Pablo Picasso and Vincent Van Gogh. It was drank by the scandalous playwright Oscar Wilde, the eccentric Toulouse-Lautrec, the poets Charles Baudelaire and Edgar Allen Poe, and the famous 20th century author Ernest Hemingway, just to mention a few.
By the end of the 19th century, grape phylloxera had destroyed two-thirds of the vineyards on the continent of Europe. The price of wine skyrocketed and was soon in short supply. The Aristocrats bought and consumed what was available, leaving the middle-class "la bourgeoisie" of artisans and tradesmen searching for a cheaper alternative.
How to Make Absinthe:
One ounce dried chopped wormwood
One tablespoon angelica root
One teaspoon hyssop
One half teaspoon coriander seeds
One quarter teaspoon caraway seeds
One pinch cardomon pods
One pinch fennel or anise seeds
One liter vodka
In a glass container add the wormwood to the vodka. Set aside in the dark for ten days. For extra-powerful absinthe, use Everclear or 151 rum instead of vodka. This will give you an authentic green-colored tincture (the green comes from the chlorophyll, and does not indicate the presence of the active ingredient, thujone).
100 proof vodka works good too. Then strain out the wormwood and add all the remaining herbs and spices. Wait four more days, then strain these out and serve. Best when drank straight in short shots with water chasers. If trying Everclear (actually not recommended), dribble a little in a tall glass with ice and sour mix or cranberry juice.
Negative Effects:
Negative effects of absinthe may also have to do with ingredients other than thujone. Everyone has read of the old absinthe ritual involving pouring absinthe over sugar cubes and ending with the absinthe turning milky as cold water is added to it.
These ersatz absinthes were neurotoxic, and the syndrome called absinthism may have actually been due to copper sulfate and antimony trichloride poisoning (as well as the 150 proof).
Now before you say c/p and give me a big phat 0* I am giving credit to the websites that so kindly gave me the information to make this egg…

This egg is a repost because it was deleted before. And I rated it a 5 again! Absinthe: Good and good for you. |
 | Nov 06, 2005 4:56 am - Well
You left out osme facts.
If you make Absinth yourself or if you buy it outside of the eu you can die from it if you drink to much.
A whole bottle of pure Absinth is enough to put you in a coma and even kill you.
If you drink Absinth from france or england from supermarkets its totaly safe and you will not have Hallucinations.
When Absinth first came out there where alot of deaths from people drinking Absinth daily.
At one time in history in french banned Absinth.
They now have new eu laws which limit the ammount of thujone/wormwood thats used in it.
i have a bottle of Absinth brought from france and it rocks and its totaly safe but its 55%vol and realy strong |

 | Apr 28, 2006 6:34 pm - Yup
I would like to point out how exteneded exposure to a lot of substances we willingly expose ourselves to will cause death, or other general harm... Did you know that the microwave was created by a man trying to make a weapon, and he noticed while testing this weapon that it melted a chocolate bar in his pocket...
On a kind of a side note, A pure bottle of vodka (if consumed rapidly enough) will kill you also, therefore, the Absinth alone can not be blamed |
