nycKid said:Hello out there. Just stopped by to ask has anyone ever had the real absinthe ( the psychoactive) version? and If so can someone please tell me how it makes you feel?!?
I just recently got back from a week in czech, the last place in Europe where the "real" absinth is still widely available (im sure you can find high-thujon absinth in more places, but from my experience, nowhere as easily as in czech)
The absinth is special since it contain thujon, a fairly well known neurotoxin derived from wormwood.
Most (cheap) absinth sold today (such as Staroplzenecky) contain less than 10mg thujon/kg absinth. By the time you feel the thujoneffect of this absinth, your liver will be sorry.
My personal favourites;
Absinth 35: As the name suggests, 35mg thujon/kg absinth. Tastes bitter and is very strong (70+%). Cheap (around 50usd/ltr)
absolute favourite!: Absinth King of Spirits GOLD. This is f*cking rocketfuel, i kid you not. 100mg thujon/kg let me tell you it wont take much before that absinthrush is crawling up your leg.
Absurdly expensive on the internet (500+usd/litre) but fairprices in czech, where a litre goes for about 250usd.
