In any case it is extremely unlikely that anything with the alcohol content of absinthe could carry enough bacteria to cause septicaemia.

Re: Absinthe
Just to stay off topic, I found that growing shrooms was easy. Google 'PF Tek'. That is the way to do it. I'm a legitimate business man now though, nothing but martinis and scotch. And a little salvia on the side. And the beer. And home-brew. And the merlot. Just payed the bills and I'm poor again, I need some absinthe. What?deadpuppiesandwhores wrote:i did the mushroom thing wheni was nineteen. hard as hell. you would thing a fungus that grows naturally in cow dung it would be a bit more robust. very easy to screw up. just order your absinthe. only undrunk people have the motivation to make their own shit properly.Captain Mullocked wrote:II really want to try absinthe but have not really been able to afford it. I looked it up on the internet and found a whole bunch of site that sell it for really cheap or sell abssinthe kits in the US. Most of these also sell mushroom kits and things of that sort. I'm more than a bit leary of trying this, has anyone ever tried these kits or know anything about them.

It's very true, the vast majority of the negative side effects attributed to absinthe are lies started by the temperance community and the French wine industry around the time of American prohibition. Absinthe, as a rule, is no more dangerous than any other type of alcohol.

Like DrunkenJackFlask I too was inspired by an ad in Modern Drunkard for the La Boheme/Absinthe Original version. I've ordered from them three times now without a hitch. It arrives in about a week from the Czech Republic and each bottle earned me an excellent (albeit strange) drunk. I've got some of my drinking buddies hooked and we have an absinthe night out at least once a month. Nothing quite like it. Anyhoo, they have a banner up in MDM's link section.

..........how did you all get in my room......?
I picked up a bottle of Absinth in Prauge in 2000. I dont remember what brand it was or how much it was......or falling down a flight of stairs. Im not really up on its legality here abroad, but I was able to purchase it in Prauge and Sweden. I usualy undrunk up with a sixer of Checkvar.

Thanks, Hank. Good to know you're out there. BTW, you're quote has been a favorite of mine. It resonates.
Re: Absinthe
They must be more healthy than mine. Mine are droping leaves all the time. It is certainly interesting, but then there are other boards for such things.lCircling over Shannon wrote: I have two very large beautiful Salvias but thus far have not used them for recreational purposes.
