Yup, I got it at the Saskatchewan Liqour Board Store!

Answer 1

I've tried this in Czech Republic because in Poland, where I live it's illegal. I drunk it like a shot mixed with Sprite. Even with Sprite it was strong.
Economic way to be drunk quickly! But that's true that it has a bad influence on people's mind.
On the bottle it is written sth like: "Absinth is and was a dangerous, mysterious drink".

Answer 2

You drink it, preferably slowly. Real absinthe is made with wormwood and very bitter. It contains thujone, a substance which is thought to be a hallucinogen; for this reason it is illegal to import or sell absinthe (but strangely, not to possess or consume it) in the US. Traditionally absinthe drinking is a ritualized process which involves mixing it with water, and sometimes a sugar cube, then taking sips over a period of time. At one time specialized absinthe glasses and spoons were a common sight.

Anything you find on the shelf in the US or Canada is imitation absinthe, not the real stuff.

Answer 3

I saw this on Martha Stewart once

Answer 4

No, to get Absinthe in the US you'll have to order it from overseas. For the real stuff go here: http://www.absinthesupply.com/products/king-of-spirits-gold.html

Also what you need is a slotted spoon, sugar, and a glass. Have fun. Remember that it's legal to have in the US but illegal to consume (go figure).

Answer 5

You drink it!! It will **** you up really good it's known to make you trip like you would if you took mushrooms or acid. But it's illegal in the USA, so don't get caught with it!

Answer 6

I didn't think you could buy it in Canada. Its an hallucinogenic.
