Members Fender&EHX4ever Posted April 29, 2008 Members Share Posted April 29, 2008 My wife and I like the Absinthe bar in Antibes. Yummy olives too. I think Van Gogh's hallucinations had more to do with the lead in his paint. Baudelaire and Rimbaud were probably smoking opium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members El Grinder Posted April 29, 2008 Members Share Posted April 29, 2008 Still, others have pointed at a chemical named thujone in wormwood, one of the herbs used to prepare absinthe and the one that gives the drink its green color. Thujone was blamed for "absinthe madness" and "absinthism," a collection of symptoms including hallucinations, facial tics, numbness and dementia. Prior studies suggested that absinthe had only trace levels of thujone. But critics claimed that absinthe made before it got banned in France in 1915 had much higher levels of thujone than modern absinthe produced since 1988, when the European Union lifted the ban on making absinthe. I would like to see follow-up research on more specimens. Thujone itself is a hallucinogen. The traditional way of consuming absinthe involved burning off the alcohol. Could the actual caramelization have something to do with reported hallucinogenic effects? Great article, but I would like to see more research done on it.

Members L_Z_nut Posted April 29, 2008 Members Share Posted April 29, 2008 In a way I guess.... "of or pertaining to a substance having a profound or significant effect on mental processes" http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/psychoactive But most of these definitions refer to drugs.

Members T3 Posted April 30, 2008 Members Share Posted April 30, 2008 do we know how long it would take for thujone to break down? i mean, testing now may not give any indication of concentrations present in the bottles 100 years ago. i'd hardly consider this one proven...

Members Coma Larkin Posted April 30, 2008 Members Share Posted April 30, 2008 T.A. Breaux has been saying this for years (don't know if he's referenced in the article or not). He tested a ton of bottles from the 1800's. His Lucid absinthe is still great, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
