Mmm. I recently learned of the existence of this stuff. Gotta find out if
it's legal in Canada. Apparently it is in Europe, after being a banned
substance for most of the last centuty. Anyone ever had it?

Most what you find today is heavy on the anise and
light on the wormwood. The wormwood is very bitter
in flavor, and you have to go to some lengths to
get a form with enough psychotropics to do you
mischief. Most of the effects alleged to it were
just borderline crazy people who were set off as
much by the alcohol as by the wormwood. Like most
alkyloids, if improperly used, or if you were
sensitive to it, it could damage your liver, again,
only in excess.
Now if you want to make a LOT of money, I would make
some stuff you call "absinthe", but use jimson weed
instead of wormwood. Sell it in a really old bottle
and say it was "re-bottled" to conceal it, many years
ago, though it's "the real stuff." Charge maybe
eight thousand dollars a bottle, and get the hell out
of there.

That shit KICKS ASS although for someone like me it's more the alcohol
than the wormwood that does the kicking. I am normally a teetotaller
but I will get off the wagon on special occasions, such as there being
absinthe available. In Hamburg last month, we followed Pope Black to a
bar where we were served medium sized glasses of high-powered absinthe.
Apparently, most of the absinthes sold in Europe these days are very
light on the psychetropics, although the hard stuff can be found. I
know we had a very good time bar-hopping after that, but only because I
found recordings and photographs of it.
Later in our trip, we were lucky enough to get to sample various
absinthe admictures, as our new friend and host Kaiser Carl-X in
Amsterdam had a SIZEABLE COLLECTION of bottles of absinthe in his front
room, and told us to HAVE AT IT whenever we wanted. There exists a
clear photo of this array of absinthe bottles, if not a clear memory of
it.
In fact, we left it all alone until our last night in Holland, when we
determined to check it out further, and had a nice stiff glass of what
was supposedly the most absinthe-y stuff there, a Pine-Sol tasting
French absinthe call "Guy Something."
The wormwood has an effect like a mild dose of "shrooms" as the kids
call them. Everything a little extra colorful and detailed, some
"giddiness." For me this was overshadowed by the hard liquor aspect,
however, the less said the better, so now that I'm back home and can't
get absinthe anyway, I think I'll stick with the half-strength coffee
that I've been relegated to as a dope vice. I have to let Amsterdam
just be a memory. Such as it is. By definition it's a pretty wispy one.
I had stockpiled a nice selection of honestly-acquired prescription
Sleepers and Stumblers for our Euro-trip, but I ended up not touching
them for the most part. For me the EuroBeer is a much much more
powerful narcotic. Like cable TV, it's best that people like me don't
keep it around the house.
Oh, I almost forgot to mention. The absinthe DID make us go blind. I
can still see the keyboard, but I have to use a 500-watt old-timey
movie light to do it. We have much higher electricity bills now, and
the Seeing-Eye Dogs didn't come cheap.
So just keep that in mind when toying with drugs, kids.

I just read somthing about an Absinthe tasting
or festival or some such event in Croatia or
Slovakia or Slovenia or somewhere around there.
I didn't save the info since the ill-effects of this
outweigh the pleasurable ones IMO. It's not the
enlarging of the liver that spooks me (although
I once saw a liver as big as a trampoline in some
medical museum that was pretty spooky), it's the
enlarging of the heart that also goes with the
territory. I'll try to find that announcement again
if anyone is interested.
(Not that smoking constantly, abusing all that stuff
that came out of those motorcycle crankshafts
back in the '70's, and eating an entire pound of
bacon in one sitting was ever good for my heart,
but I gotta draw the line somewhere.)
