Re: Looking for abinsthe.
Generally, the absinthe available on the market is made without using wormwood, which is what supplies the chemical which induces the hallucinogenic effects (Thujone). So, its not really absinthe. It does however, have a very high alcohol content.
I know its possible to buy "real" absinthe in parts of Eastern Europe, but have no idea if its available via the internet.

Re: Looking for abinsthe.
It is available on the internet, and with a little bit of digging around you can find sites that will also list the thujone content of the various brands. As for effects, its not really much different than any other 140 proof liquor. By the time you've had enough to feel any hallucinogenic effects, you're shitcanned anyways.
I went to Prague 4 times when I lived over there. Awesome city.

Re: Looking for abinsthe.
Huh?
Any absinthe you're going to find on the internet has thujone in it. Around the turn of the century there was a Europe-wide limit on how much thujone you could put in. Any "real" absinthe with pre-1900ish level thujone is either going to literally be 100 years old and cost you a boatload of money, or is going to be some serious black market [censored]. But to the OP, absinthe has such a high alcohol content, that you'll be getting passed-out drunk long before you will halucinate. -Matt

[ QUOTE ] Price Absinthe containing thujone is difficult to find for sale inside the United States, but is available from suppliers in other countries, many of whom are willing to ship into the U.S. Prices depend on the brand and the thujone content, and can range from $10 a bottle to over $200 per bottle. Law Absinthe containing thujone is illegal to sell for human consumption in the United States. Some brands of absinthe are sold in the U.S. which contain no thujone and other absinthes are imported into the U.S. despite FDA regulations. It is not illegal to possess Absinthe, even if it contains thujone. [/ QUOTE ] Link

Re: Looking for abinsthe.
Sorry it was me who was confused, I thought we were talking about importing a bottle of absinthe from Europe, which I have done and is easy as hell.
