They're not, but you'd be amazed what counts as medecine in some places.

Too true. :)
I think it was in the 2nd Ed. Grimoire ... the alchemical component "other draconic bodily fluid". ("You want me to what? In a flask??"). |

No, but the deer that donated his penis might have been called Herb. ;)

Never really thought I'd see deer penis' and tongue in the same sentence on this board, but there you have it. Anyway, Ancient, why couldn't you write my textbooks? I might have studied. :spin: |

So, you are untainted...
Research methods. You seem good at that, too. I mean, your farts still stink and all that, but you seem to cover your bases and look for balance and accuracy. |

Absinthe is a tasty treat, when prepared properly(no sugar, just mixed with water it tastes like toothpaste, and without water OR sugar it tends to burn going alllll the way down). However the stuff is a bit hyped up....YES it's strong(55-80% alcohol), YES it will mess you up if you drink enough. You can get it here in Europe(w/o wormwood in the North, with it in Czech and some other countries), but it's never made me hallucinate or chop off my own ear. And i've drank it 80% with a twig of wormwood in the friggin bottle. However, maybe i'm missing something with it. :grinbig: |

That is some strong stuff. But I guess it affects people differently.

The psychoactive effects of absinthe are disputed, being a combination of high alcohol content and thujone. Needless to say, the stuff you get nowadays isn't quite the same as way back when.
And when I say, 'way back when', I mean it. Reciepts for oil or tincture of wormwood go back thousands of years, at least to the ancient Greeks. |

Personally, I don't like absinthe much, I'm more a fan of classical liquors. 60% absinthe bought in the Czech has a tad more punch than my usual (well, I don't drink daily, but if I do, it's mainly that) Whisky, but it didn't make me feel like I took some sort of harder drug, either. I'm not too much of a fan of the taste. But the burning? Well, maybe it was the hot food I regularily eat ... besides, I like that, kinda, it leaves a warm feeling. :)
Well, hops is psychoactive these days too ... :please: |

60% isnt any thing big. I drink vodka that is harder then that on a daily basis. 80% will f*ck your sh*t right up, and proper. Also, correct me if Im wrong (which I may be), but isnt proper Absinthe run though a cocaine filter at some point in processing?
I only mentioned it because it still carries a bit of a... mysical flavor (in the metaphorical sence) to it. And it looks funny. |

Very cool stuff. One day, I will play in a Magic oriented game. Are you going to continue adding this stuff to your "Best of" Page? |

Aye, the Spoorn will get more stuff eventually.
In hindsight, I suppose I should have included a page or two on 'The proper care and feeding of your peyote cactus." But that might be enough for a book in and of itself. |

*Feeding*??? :D
No. The link also contains a lot of information about the sgtuff. It's very strong, but no cocaine. Coca Cola, on the other hand ... is prepared with coca leaves. There're two purposes coca leaves can legally be exported for, that is one of them. :)
Oh, that's just because it was illegalised. And Oscar Wilde drank it. And Kafka. And a whole host of other famous fin de siecle people. |

:rotfl: :rotfl: That's friggin great.
Oh yeah, and 80% does f*ck you up horribly. I have also drank that, in fact, i'm looking at a bottle right now :grinbig: Absinthe doesn't got the taste for everyone, but i would like to try to get ahold of some of the stuff if there is SOMEONE(like a RL Gran Le Fousteu or something...one of those old people that used to work in a distillery and whose grandparents and great grandparents did :D) that actually knows how they made it back in the day(ok, a couple centuries). Just to try it out. Made PROPER of course. I know some idiots that try to make their own from taking wormwood extract and mixing it with vodka. They end up getting a stomach pumping, or worse, dead. And maybe the peyote cactus can be a hidden page? |

While you're in Europe ... flights to the Czech Rep are cheap. So are flights to Poland. It's legal there, prepared the old way and all.
