This is all marketing run by a small group of folks. A biochemist professor in Time Magazine said they are all "pretending"... it's absinthe but with the good stuff taken out.]]>Mar 22nd 2008 5:03PMhttp://www.luxist.com/2008/03/22/abinthe-fever-how-long-will-it-last/http://www.luxist.com/2008/03/22/abinthe-fever-how-long-will-it-last/
If you believe in the "thujone effect" you might want to ask yourself why you don't see flying turkey fairies after you eat Thanksgiving dinner -- sage in stuffing has high amounts of thujone and, not suprisingly, has never been regulated by the FDA as psychoactive.

You've been fooled by online marketing bullshite....wanna smoke a banana peel, sucker? ]]>Mar 25th 2008 8:14PMhttp://www.luxist.com/2008/03/22/abinthe-fever-how-long-will-it-last/http://www.luxist.com/2008/03/22/abinthe-fever-how-long-will-it-last/
In effect you are both half right. Proper absinthe contains thujone, anethole, fenchone, and a nervine. However most of the Czech stuff and the stuff for sale in the us are missing some or most of these other ingredients. I don't want to advertise any brands on here but I will tell you Kubler is the best you can get in America at the moment. However there will be better ones in no time.

You will know if you have real absinthe if: You don't get tired after drinking like normal, You are drunk but somehow still able to play chess, and the world looks really "clean" and bright. It is like drinking in a perfect world.
