I have had it a couple times while traveling in Europe and I still have an upopened bottle of it that I got on my last trip to Europe about five years ago. You can not get it anywhere in North American as far as I know. The stuff they sell here isn't the same. It can be nasty stuff if you are unprepared, but very interesting...
If you want more info, pm me as its not really a discussion to have on a public forum.

I'm just wondering why some of ya'll are seemingly hell bent on getting some. It sounds like it takes way too much to get a high from it. Sorta like getting a nutmeg high, but you have to deal with downing 2 tablespoons of nutmeg to get that high. I'd rather just get high from something else.

I'd say 99% of people in the thread haven't had any. If they had, they probably wouldn't be clamoring to get some. Its not like a nutmeg high, Absinthe has hallucinogenic properties, more like acid than anything else.

I havn't got a chance to read all this thread but I must add I have a bottle here at my house that I brought back from England. The stuff that is like a drug in Absinthe is called Wormswood. The stuff made today is alot weaker then it use to be. It is a different drunk.  This is also a diffrent drunk...  I have both right here in my house.

No one makes absinth like they used to for good reason.
The high dose of Wormwood alkaloids and the heavy metal colorants they used to use would give you brain damage or kill you.
