Whats The Deal With Absinthe?
Absinthe has it’s own FAQ. It’s hard to get, but not banned in most places. It’s dangerous to drink, but not poisonous. It’s a different kind of drunk, but (modern Absinthe e.g. Absente) does not contain Thujone or hallucinogens. Real absinthe, such as Nouvelle Orleans, does contain Thujone which is a hallucinogen. However, properlay made absinthe has a concentration of Thujone of less than 5ppm which is well under the legal limit. Chemical studies have been done on pre-ban absinthe showing that the absinthe at that time also had a low Thujone content.
