Absinthe Thujon 33

Absinthe Thujon 33 is not a medicine, but with 33 mg/l thujone and 40% alcohol this Absinthe essence can be used for experimential healing. Thujon 33 is not a conventional Absinthe, but rather a tincture / essence. Accordingly, Thujon 33 is consumed differently. It is used in addition to Absinthe. This means you first fill your Absinthe glass with the Absinthe of your choice. Then you place the Absinthe spoon with a sugar cube on the glass. Now you put 5-10 drops on the sugar cube depending on your preference. Finally, pour ice cold water over the sugar. Prepared is your pimped glass of Absinthe! For any possible side effects consult your pharmacist :-). An Absinthe that harmonizes well iwith Thujon 33 is Strong68.

Absinthe & Thujon, what are the effects?

First of all, we must emphasize that Absinthe is not a drug. That is, many stories surrounding the effects of Absinthe are rather myths. Absinthe won't make you freak out and you will not see pink elephants on the wall. But drinking Absinthe is different to drinking other spirits. It can give you a mental activation, and you might see things a little differently after a few glasses. Oscar Wilde once wrote: "After the first glass, you see things as you wish they were. After the second, you see things as they are not. Finally, you see things as they really are, and that is the most horrible thing in the world."

The quote of Oscar Wilde might be a bit exaggerated, but drinking Absinthe is different from other spirits (vodka, rum, etc.). This is partly due to its high alcohol content. Absinthe typically has 68% alcohol by volume. Therfore, Absinthe is quite a bit stronger than other spirits, which are in the 35-44% range. This high alcohol content can explain much of Absinthe's effect, as the body is simply not used to this high alcohol content. From a purely medical point of view, thujone is a neurotoxin. However, you would have to ingest several grams of thujone for the toxic effect to become active. Absinthe, as well as Thujon 33, has "only" 33 mg/l, i.e. the amount is very small. That's why you don't have to worry when drinking Thujon 33. So the medicine bottle is rather a fun experience than a real "test of courage".
