You need to visit Cancún, lie down on its gorgeous beach and tan a little bit surrounded by beautiful girls. Then you sip some Coronas. Then you party around a bonfire, still surrounded by beautiful women and drink some more Corona. Then you go to your room with a couple of the girls, drink more Corona and get jiggy, and wake up in the morning to sip more Cor ...[text shortened]... ll 2 weeks.
If after that you don't think Corona is the best beer in the world, you're gay.

Absinthe does not cause hallucinations whatsoever.
It's a myth.
It is a GABA antagonist and nothing more.
Absinthe USED to contain traces of the chemical thujone which came from either the wormwood or aniseed ingredient, I forget and cant be arsed to google it, which did cause some addictive and behavioural side effects, it was developed by a Dr. Ordinare in about 1500 and was used for medicinal purposes.
Just like coke-a-cola, it became a drink, and it did cause people to go a little loopy.
I get a bit hazy here, so feel free to correct me.
It was eventually banned around 1700 by the wine board, two brothers, whose names escape me, who had a business producing and selling absinthe petitioned and asked if they dropped the component which caused the effects could they bring it back. It was granted and the rest is history.

Absinthe is great if you want to get wasted. It generally tastes like a stronger and more alcoholic pastis, ouzo or raki. You know the lakrids flavor, which I think is aniseed. Mostly it's green, but I've seen and tasted blue, red, transparent, and black absinthe too. Stay away from the black stuff unless you like to feel 13 and without alcohol experience again.
I Denmark it's usually drunk after burning/dissolving a square of suger into it. In Barcelona there is a fantastic old bar (I think from 1860 -something), where they drink it with water and sugar. I cannot remember how they drink it in Prague. 😉

Originally posted by Natsiathe consensus is that the early stories of hallucinations were really your run-of-the-mill alcohol delirium, as the average absinthe drinker was a raging drunkard. the amounts of tujone were negligible, and didn't really amount to much anything. a part of the hallucinogenics story is that french poets were quite impressed about the twirling sugar on the bottom of a glass of absinthe, and the myth grew stronger. obviously it was before lava lamps, so it was new.

so no tripping on absinthe, and it tastes like crap. but the color is very pretty. -frankly, I'll rather drink just about anything else.

And I don't believe I said it made people trip balls or hallucinate, only that it made them a little loopy.
