Alcohol makes up the majority of the drink and is extremely high, between 45 percent and 85 percent, though there is no historical evidence that any commercial vintage absinthe was higher than 74 percent. Given the high strength and low alcohol solubility of many of the herbal components, absinthe is usually not imbibed "straight," but consumed after a fairly elaborate preparation ritual.

Historically, there were five varieties of absinthe: ordinaire, demi-fine, fine, supérieure or Suisse (which does not denote origin), the latter of which was of a higher alcoholic strength than the former. The best absinthes contain 60 percent to 74 percent alcohol. It is said to improve materially with storage. In the 19th century absinthe, like much of the food and drink of the time, was occasionally adulterated by profiteers with copper, zinc, indigo plant, or other dyes to impart the green color, but this was never done by the best distilleries.


Traditionally absinthe is poured into a glass over which a specially designed, slotted spoon is placed. A sugar cube is then deposited in the bowl of the spoon. Ice cold water is poured or dripped over the sugar until the drink is diluted 3:1 to 5:1. During this process, the components that are not soluble in water come out of solution and cloud the drink; that milky opalescence is called the "louche" (Fr. "opaque" or "shady").

A modern, more dramatic and potentially very hazardous "fire" ritual was invented by a Czech manufacturer, in which the sugar cube is drenched in absinthe then set on fire. Water is then added to drown the fire and dissolve the caramelized sugar. Generally less water is added than the traditional method.

Spurred by the temperance movement and winemakers' associations, absinthe was publicized in connection with several violent crimes supposedly committed under the direct influence of the drink, along with a general tendency toward hard liquor consumption due to the wine shortage in France during the 1880s and 1890s, effectively targeting absinthe's popularity as a social menace. Its critics said that it makes people crazy and criminal, it turns men into brutes and threatens the future of our times. Edgar Degas's 1876 painting, L'absinthe (The Absinthe Drinkers) (now at the Musée d'Orsay) epitomized the popular view of absinthe "addicts" as sodden and benumbed; Emile Zola described their serious intoxication in his novel L'Assommoir. Absinthe was banned from sale and production in most countries by 1915.

The effects of absinthe have been described by artists as mind opening, and even hallucinogenic and by prohibitionists as turning good people mad and desolate. Both are exaggerations. Sometimes called "secondary effects", the most commonly-reported is a "clear headed" drunk feeling and thujone was said to be the cause. The placebo effect and individual reaction to the herbs makes these secondary effects very subjective and minor compared to the psychoactive effects of alcohol

Shrooms are 25 an 8th and if you've never done them half of that bag will give you a crazy night

The solution is not to; there's nothing else in it that is dose reactive on the microgram scale. Or you could just grow + harvest morning glories. Lysergic alkalais are fun, too.

I've dont the morny glory thing. I didint like it very much. If I were going to make acid id make sure i was going to do it with ergot. And just the little things I don't have. Like potasium hydroxide, anhydrous hydrazine, nitrogen gas.. which i do have access to in the dragbike trailer. Maybe ill give it a shot

I can usualy take the second one myself, but I find that in order to get the full effect you need to take a third hit which someone will have to help you out with. After that you should be gravy for a solid 4-5 minutes. As far as the concentration goes, I tried 10x the first few times with mediocure results and then switched to 20x with can be pretty crazy. I would however recomend that people try the 10x first if they havn't done it before.
