The real stuff, which i believe they arent allowed to sell in Aus anymore, causes you to have halucinations, sweet huh.. The Aus sold stuff is just a big kick and a hangover from hell.

I've had it in Prague while I was on holidays 2 years ago.
I refuse to speak of that incident, therefore pleading the 5th amendment that I cannot say what happened that night on the grounds that it may incriminate me..... Seriously that stuff was just pure wierdness, I can remember it going in (it tasted strong) and now my cousin from germany laughs every time i talk to her... She reckons I was tripping/going off.

I've had it once and that was enough. Seriously it tastes like crap and the aus stuff isn't actually the real stuff anyway.

Check out wikipedia, anyone that tells you they've had hallucinations on it are stroking it.
I think from memory the only reason why hallucinations were happening were due to excessive amounts of it consumed over excessive days. I think van Gough chopped his ear off while under the influence of Absynth. I've had it once, not the real stuff just the fake imported gear. Can't really say the taste was fantastic. |

It good stuff, If you can, get Doubs Absinthe. It has the max thujone (active ingriediant in wormwood) allowed in aus. The fun is in mixing it! Dripping cold water over suger, burning it...

Actually not far from you ... I get mine from a small bottle shop in Werribee ... $100 a bottle (700ml) not all that expensive when you take into account how much of it you have to drink
And the taste is something like a mix of licorice/ouzo/sambuca ... that kinda thing mixed with pure space shuttle fuel
