Has anyone ever tried TRUL 1792 absinthe?

I just ordered a bottle of TRUL 1792 absinthium. Has anyone ever tried this before? Is it the same as any other absinthe? 35mg of thujone…is this a good thing?

Just trying to get a little information before the product arrives.

Thanks in advance!

What’s wrong with czech absinthe and how much does it cost?

I’m reading that they make it like they did back in the day. right down to the thujone (made you crazy) in it. If it’s oil based, I’m not sure that’s all bad, because I think I read that it was made in many ways back in the day. You had to have the holy trinity of ingredience. Does the U.S. stuff have that..so how much do these czech guys charge, because it isn’t cheap.
they say it’s legal to bring into the U.S. Wormwood is OK, it’s in lots of stuff. There is a designer copy of absinthe sold here with Wormwood as the principal ingredient. called Lucid. got the website from yahoo answers, thanks!
tried some french stuff last night. Gross!

Absinthe!…?

Is it legal in California yet? If so, where would you get it?
Have you tried it? If so, what does it taste like? Do hallucinations still occur even with the recent quantity of Thujone, or no thujone at all? If you’d like to add something more, I’d be very grateful.

Ps: I know of a couple sites (like easyabsinth.com) but I can’t order or anything, mostly ’cause I’m 15.

Is absinthe consumption legal in the military?

So I hear that absinthe is now being legally imported by makers from France and Switzerland. Even a spirit distillery in CA is producing it. My question is can military members purchase and drink it legally? I hear of soldiers bringing it back to U.S. after serving in Germany and declaring it at customs when they arrive. Are there any laws or UCMJ regulations that prohibit use in the military?
On the topic of hallucigenic properties, thujone is what made it illegal. In order for it to be legally imported here, thujone has to be under a certain percent. And the hallucigenic rumors have been scientifically disproved. I may be wrong, but to me this places it under the same category as tobacco and alcohol. It is just a strong liquor. Everclear is much stronger. Just doesn’t have thujone. Oh, and I didn’t see anything about it on the History channel. I came across some fellow soldiers who brought some when they came back from Europe.
So if it’s still illegal, why am I seeing on the internet that in March 2007, two brands of absinthe (Lucid and Kübler) became the first genuine absinthes legally imported into the United States since 1912? This was following the independent efforts by representatives of each brand to topple the longstanding U.S. ban. In December 2007, St. George Absinthe Verte, produced by St. George Spirits of Alameda, California, became the first brand of American-made absinthe to be legally produced in the United States since the enactment of the ban.

Were you successful in Shipping Absinthe into the United States?

I would love to hear either horror stories or stories of success when it comes to shipping absinthe into the United States. I will be turning 21 here in a week and want to try the real stuff. Possibly the stuff with 35mg of thujone. If anyone has had absinthe shipped to them successfully please provide what site you bought it from and any suggestions on what to get. I would also love to hear from anyone knowing the exact legalities of importing it.Thank you very much!!!

How is Absinthe illegal to sell in France?

Since France is a member of the European Union, and there is a "mutual recognition" of products in the Union, how can France be able to NOT sell Absinthe while other countries do?

For instance, Cassis de Dijon was being exported out of France into Germany, even though the Germans didn’t want it in their country. However, mutual recognition allowed France to export the product. I don’t know if there were any laws per se about this, but Germany didn’t want it.

Is there something different here, like maybe a law in France that could be an exception to the mutual recognition, such as thujone in alcoholic beverages (like the US)? And they’re allowed to get away with it because of seperate member state laws or something?

I’m taking a poly sci course and this is interesting to me, anyone have any thoughts or know about this?
I know "why" the country might not have it legal…but "how" isn’t it against the EU policy of "mutual recognition"?
