I know this has probably been talked about before, but the difference in this topic is that I’m talking in it Smile

I just want to share my experience, I had proper Absinthe last night and I swear to god, I halucinated. My parents just returned from Praha last week and brought me a bottle back, 70% proof, the real Hulk Hogan style stuff, maybe I should use a different wrestler… I dunno, perhaps the legion of fucking doom!
I had quite a few, 3 or 4 anyway, the last shot made me puke, not pretty but atleast i got to the bathroom. Anyway, it was just me and one friend, but I could swear I was talking to a lot of people, I thought my family were sitting with me. this wasnt proper "I can litte facelss hedgehogs" style halucinating, but I was sure there were more people with us in the room… But goddamn what a blast the green stuff is.
Just wonderin if anyone else has had some dodgy times the boomshine?

70 Proof or 70%? 70 proof is only 35%, so it’s a big difference. I dunno, maybe it’s me, but puking after only 3 or 4 shots…what’s the point?

The placebo effect is a wonderful thing.

I think it was just placebo, Ive heard so much about it my head maybe made me do it. When I was younger we got a girl stoned but it was only a fag… Seriously, she was stoned, it was weird. Im not too sure wether or not I believe the P effect…

Probably, alcohol doesn’t make a person hallucinate. The old stuff used to, but it is different now.

Ive had a lot stronger alcohol than 70% and never seen shit so far.

Come to think of it, haven’t hallucinated from drugs either.

You need to branch out more, obviously.

Yeah, thats the only way ketamine has ever let me down. First time I kept thinking this guy looked like Hussein (we were in Viet Nam, right after the September 2002 speech, I had been by the Iraqi embassy that day and this British guy had a similar mustache)and asked him several times, which he took in stride and with aplomb, but that wasn’t seeing shit, unfortunately.
