Do they sell absynth in Jamaica?

Question

I'm looking for the real absynth not the imitation stuff. As far as I know, it's been banned in Canada and the US.

I spelled it wrong in my question. It's called Absinthe (the alcohol made from wormwood that makes you hallucinate). Does any one from Jamaica know if the local liquor stores sell it.

Answer 1

If you want REAL absinthe, check out eabsinthe.com
I've ordered from them before and it's a quality site with fast shipping. Always get it within a few days, from the UK to Wisconsin.
I like the Reality (Czech)-just right-nice herbal flavor
I've tried the Versinthe La Blanche (French)-thought anise was too strong-and the Abisinthe Amer (French)-alcohol a little overpowering. High wormwood content is what you're looking for.
As far as hallucinating and it being illegal......more of a novelty thing really. You're not going to see anything that isnt there. But a noticeable extra tingle with your buzz. They say it "makes the heart grow fonder". Fun with that special someone if you know what I mean. It is illegal to SELL absinthe but not so much to possess it. Absinthe recently became legal in the Canadian province of British Columbia. In the US, thujone is still banned, but as a food rather than a drug. You aren't allowed to distill or commercially make absinthe, but you can legally own a bottle and even make your own as long as it isn't distilled.
As far as spelling...
Why is absinthe sometimes spelt without an 'e'?

This is quite simply a language difference. Although 'absinthe' is the generic spelling as coined by the Swiss and French, who were the original absinthe producing nations, you will find that around the world there are many different spellings for the word absinthe. In the Czech Republic 'e' is dropped, and thus, absinth. The Spanish say absenta and the Italians say assenzio, but they all mean absinthe.

It is worth noting that the spelling absinth (without an 'e') usually denotes that the brand comes from Eastern Europe and is likely to be Czech style', which means that it is unlikely to louche (turn cloudy) when water is added, due to the little to no anise used compared to the traditional Swiss/French style.

Have fun!

Your terrific guess is to purchase your cigarettes on the job unfastened keep till now you pass away the country. they are synthetic in the U. S. with our tobacco. The Marlboro's in Jamaica are from Venezuela, so the tobacco is sweeter, and does not have as many fillers like in American cigs. All i will assist you recognize is that shifting from American smokes to the others for a week, is like transitioning to cigars, you would be loss of life for a real smoke via the time you come again. additionally, packs of smokes at a motel run $7-$9 a %.!! YIKES!
