So Absinthe is now legal in the USA? - GoFuckYourself.com

Brent 3dSexCash · 02-29-2008, 03:39 PM

Not that I am a big drinker of the stuff (10 times or so my life alll in Europe). However, i was just at the liquor store and they made a point to put it in front of people as they were paying.

Apparently, it got legalized in Dec 07 and it is just hitting the stores now, and it is the real deal.

Anyone try it? The real deal?

pornguy · 02-29-2008, 03:40 PM

No its not. That is also not the real deal. To bring it into the country is a big time Felony.

They have signs all over the border about it.

Dirty F · 02-29-2008, 03:40 PM

Its not the real deal. You hardly can get the real deal anywhere.

Lace · 02-29-2008, 03:41 PM

I haven't heard anything about this.

What about this Absinthe wikipedia?

United States

In 2007 the laws prohibiting absinthe were relaxed and several brands of absinthe were legally approved for sale. These brands must pass TTB testing, which is performed by the Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry method[70] and TTB considers a product to be thujone-free if the FDA's test measures less than 10ppm (equal to 10mg/Kg) thujone.[71] A US distillery also began producing and selling absinthe, the first US company to do so since 1912. [72]

Most people who drink the stuff think theyre tripping or whatever but youre just fucking drunk from the crazy amount of alcohol in it. Drink anything else with that much alcohol and you'll also see green fairies.

ztik · 02-29-2008, 03:44 PM

A local bar here just got it in. Havn't tried it yet.

CaseyCupcakes · 02-29-2008, 03:49 PM

any type of absinthe that is avail. in the US is super diluted in comparison to the real stuff but it still could translate into an interesting experience....

pornguy · 02-29-2008, 03:49 PM

They sell the real stuff in Mexico now. Along the border, but taking it in. Forget it.

kristin · 02-29-2008, 03:50 PM

I had it in Vegas at a restaurant in the Palms... fuck it was gross.

aico · 02-29-2008, 03:53 PM

Yes, it's Absinthe, but it has very low levels of Thujone (if any, haven't checked it out yet), which is the drug in Absinthe that gives it the effects most people are looking for. I have been ordering my Absinthe online for a long time from eAbsinthe and you can get the real stuff no problem. Comes via US Mail, have ordered over 20 bottles never had a problem at all. Goes right thru US customs every time. If you are looking to drink it and enjoy the taste I recommend La Fee Bohemian. If you are looking for something with more Thujone in it, and still ok tasting, I recommend Bairnsfather Bitter.

Enjoy.

It is probably not a good idea to buy Absinthe in a country where the water makes you shit your pants.

Ya, and hitting yourself in the head with a rock hurts too. That's why you don't do it.

I'd be surprised if you will ever find the real stuff in a bar, it takes a pretty long time to make one drink correctly, bartenders would never be able to take that much time on one drink.

They don't call it the green fairy because it makes you see green fairies. They call it that because its green. Anyone who says they see shit on absynthe like they're tripping is either lying or victim of the placebo effect.

Bojangles · 02-29-2008, 09:39 PM

Absinthe is great. Your lips/mouth go numb as soon as it hits them.

The Demon · 02-29-2008, 09:42 PM

Absinthe's main ingredients are wormwood and thujone (THC). It is still illegal to make, grow, or buy in this country. The absinthe you are getting is shit.

That's probably like one tenth of the normal amount of thujone that is normal absinthe..

The Demon · 03-01-2008, 12:30 AM

If you want the best absinthe, fork over $250 for King of Spirits Gold. That will make your night interesting and VERY forgettable/forgetful.
