As I understand it, the hallucinogens have been filtered out for U.S. consumption. Some brands are over 150 proof - scary! The prices are frightening, too. But I would love to have a couple of those spoons as funky curios to hang in my kitchen w/ my Maurin Quina Le Puy print. ; }Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14970742141705361136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5343312871757627347.post-91495613352026124922008-03-20T20:11:00.000-05:002008-03-20T20:11:00.000-05:00Have only heard of, but never did the absinthe thi...Have only heard of, but never did the absinthe thing.

Otherwise you're just drunk! In fact, the US only approved absinthe being legal again (in 2007) ONLY if it was free of the hallucinagen that's in wormwood.
