I'm not sure if anyone has done it but if they have, let me know what you experienced. What I am planning on doing is an LSA extraction and instead of using such alcohol like Bacardi 151 or Everclear, I plan on using Absinthe(70% alc). The idea is to use the alcohol content in it to extract the LSA and then have the wormwood content in it create an even more intense experience than the LSA alone. Where I live, they sell 26ers of Absinthe therefore I could easily get some. just a thought.. worth trying for the extra money absinthe costs?
i thought absinthe was illegal?, 70% alcohol may not cut it, trying using 85% absinthe and 15% everclear let me know how it goes
www.alandia.de nice, safe, great service absinthe ordering site. They ship to the US I order something from them every year.
No I'm not sure how it would work out in the end, thats why I was hoping someone had tried it. Ah well.. worth a shot I guess. I just finished making a batch with Bicardi 151, see how it goes and next time I guess ill try the absinthe. And sensei is right, you do not need 100% alcohol for the extraction, 70% alc is sufficient.
1) Peel the fuzzy outer covering off of your seeds. 2) Grind in a coffee grinder into a fine powder. 3) Let soak in a few tablespoons of pure lime juice for 30 minutes in a decent sized drinking glass, mixing every 10 minutes. 4) After 30 minutes, mix the lime juice with a good amount of orange juice. 5) The last mouthful will be a lot of the hard, ground up powder. You can opt to chew it, but none of us did, we all chugged it, and tripped fine. Within 20 minutes, you'll begin to feel the onset of the trip. It'll come on hard, and you'll be already be tripping before the nausea has a chance to kick in [or perhaps the lime juice killed the nauseating chemicals?]. Either way, you won't feel sick. I advise having some cannabis handy in case you do, as individual results/seeds/bodytypes vary. I've done this and it worked fine. Take a poland spring bottle, put some lime juice in it. Have your pre-crushed seeds. Mix powdered seeds into lime juice. Let sit in bottle. Fill with juice. Drink. Edit: Another thing I wanted to add to this thread. After I drank about 10 beers one day I forgot I had plans to trip with my friend, so we did the seeds anyway. We puked. We puked bad. 1) Don't mix alcohol and these and 2) since then, I've become completely grossed out with having chunks in the mixture and having to swallow them. The last time I tripped, I filtered the mixture through cloth and got all of the chunks/non-powdered seeds out, and still tripped as hard as I would have had I swallowed the chunks. Glad you had fun. Out of 250 seeds over a couple week span, a few friends and I only had a few people vomit. One time was when someone drank mine (22 seeds) instead of her's (8 seeds), and when my other friend thought doing 30 would be a good idea. For anyone: I highly recommend doing low amounts at first, 5-8, and then building your way up from there. I haven't puked yet.
you live in ontario? so the LCBO sells "absenthe". it contains 0.00% wormwood. hate to burst your bubble. go to europe.
As somebody who has drank absinthe many times, I can tell you that you will never see the "green fairy". It is at best a hightened clarity similar to that of drinking vodka and redbull. One time I did get slightly wavey vision, but never since then. Also, unless you like licorice, it tastes like ass.
