A supposedly narcotic spirit which originated in the 17th century and became popular during the turn of the century in Europe and further popularized by famous artists and writers.
Absinthe has an opaque green color with a licorice aroma and a high alcohol content, typically containing anise, artemesia pontica, melissa, fennel, hyssop and lemonbalm; some immitation absinthes contain the original controversial ingredient wormwood, which contains the neurotoxin thujone.
Immitation absinthes, despite manufacturers claims, have only a general similarity with absinthes drank a century ago. The historically romanticized drink was Pernod Fils, a French Absinthe, which contained wormwood, and the exact recipe of which was never known. However, in 2004 It was painstakingly resurrected by microbiologist Ted Breaux, who owned two original bottles, and formed a private company selling limited batches of the real thing.

Get the Absinthemug. A strong strain of mostly-sativa cannabis. JUST cannabis, NOT laced with anything. Lacing a smokable drug with LSD is IMPOSSIBLE and a bullshit urban legend! It will break down if you try to smoke it!

Get the Purple Hazemug. Someone who believes true understanding comes from comprehending things in the sole context of magnitude and direction.

Get the Vectoristmug. "The hapless Taliban group was pinned down behind a rock, trapped out in the open. We had them. Two of their buddies lay dead. Their AK's were useless. One of them made the mistake of peeking out from the rock. He lifted his head up again. I saw his eyes through the Unertl's 10x scope. It looked as if they met mine, even though he couldn't see where we were. Then.."
