Absinthe, Thujone, & Artemisia absinthium: What You Need To Know

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 ส.ค. 2024
  • Absinthe is an alcoholic drink that contains substances from Artemisia absinthium (wormwood). The drink has a long history of use and is often said to differ from ethanol in terms of its effects. However, there is little evidence for those differences.
    The drink, like wormwood, usually contains alpha-Thujone. That drug could be psychoactive, but it’s primarily known as a convulsant. Under current regulations in the EU and US, thujone isn’t present at concentrations that would be dangerous. Research suggests old Absinthe preparations also lacked significant concentrations of the substance.

    The Drug Classroom (TDC) is dedicated to providing the type of drug education everyone should have. Drugs are never going to leave our society and there has never been a society free from drugs.
    Therefore, it only makes sense to provide real education free from propaganda.
    TDC doesn't advocate drug use. Rather, we operate with the intention of reducing the harm some substances can bring.

As for creativity, I could think about one subject much clearer and when I did I noticed I could envision it much better than normal. My brain wandered less and seemed to flow like a river flowing with it's surroundings.

    I wonder if the older variants with nutmeg and other herbs that have psychoactive effects might have an interaction with the thujone that may not be common but could possibly cause more deleriant and dissociative effects when combined than alcohol can on its own? Nutmeg is psychoactive, cinnamon has something in it too, along with many other herbs and sometimes they can have weird drug interactions. A lady that's into witchcraft gave me a bag of herbs and said it'll give me crazy vivid dreams and it had mugwort, cinnamon, lavender and like 3 other things she said aren't worth much without being mixed. Didn't taste good but it worked awesome, full control of dreams and stayed asleep all night for once

    Great video, I subscribed right away. Though as someone who has made and consumed a relatively strong wormwood alcohol extract I find it puzzling that the psychoactive properties of wormwood are apparently not well known in the scientific community. However, it is true that the effects of commercially prepared absinthe which have low amounts of wormwood/thujone are not at a high enough concentration to have more than a minute effect, which would then of course be overshadowed by the effects of the alcohol and the placebo effect! One might as well just drink vodka. The effects of a wormwood extract are unmistakably different from alcohol alone, and in the case of my extract, I did not even consume much more than 1 unit of alcohol before the effects of wormwood were felt. As another commenter described, the main feeling is a bit difficult to describe, but is of 'weirdness.' The usual thoughts and perceptions appear strange, bizarre or comical although you do not see any real visual hallucinations whatsoever, other than very minor ones, for instance, lights on a dimly lit street appearing much brighter than usual. I have also experienced momentary disruptions of my sense of scale, such that something appears briefly as though it is in miniature or a slight dissociation from events that are happening around you. There is also a stimulating, slightly restless effect, that may cause you to lose focus at higher concentrations and may lead to fits of laughing, especially if around others who have consumed the drink. Of course, consuming an extract of wormwood could be very dangerous, as the exact concentrations of the compounds will not be known, however, exercising extreme caution and trying small doses of the extract before consuming any more, I have personally never had any ill effects.

  • @HandlesSuck
    @HandlesSuck 5 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    One thing I always found curious with absinthe was that I could still keep timing on a guitar after a few. For some reason my dexterity held out a lot longer drinking absinthe rather than other drinks. I could feel sober, be half way down a second beer and start making mistakes, or be on my third/fourth absinthe and still function playing wise, but feel relatively off my face.

    I smoked thujone from a sage extract for a while; it has interesting psychoactive effects and a distinctive head space that reminds me of a low dose psychedelic, often times it's incredibly similar to synthetic cannabinoids. However I noticed a rebound anxiety and derealization for a few days following use with a terrible feeling of dysphoria which made me quit using it.

    I’ve used many, many, many, *very* large doses of mugwort extract and it’s a stimulating light psychedelia akin to cannabinoids in feeling with a slight deliriant feeling. GABA a antagonism sounds right with the stimulating factor but there’s some missing neuropharmacology here pertaining to its psychedelia described by many users other than whatever amounts may be found in any given alcohol mixture.

    75g wormwood + 750ml vodka. Combine and let sit for 7 days before straining and consuming. The effects are very different from ethanol and are quite pronounced. Once you drink the whole bottle the alcohol overpowers the wormwood and you then become drunk. Other people should try this as I'm 100% positive it's not a placebo effect...

    How does one extract antihestamine compounds and test it???

      You can easily make an oil from wormwood using its dried leaves. Just add it to coconut (0r likely other) oil and cook over a low temperature (below boiling).for about 15 minutes. Repeating the process after a few hours might strengthen it. Strain the oil out, but keep the leaves because they are still strong and can be used, toss a pinch in stews for example. I rub the oil on affected areas to treat chronic pain. Beware that it has a bitter taste and is psycho active, similar to marijuana.

    • @metamorphicorder
      @metamorphicorder 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Vermouth is a wine derived spirit. Its infused and distilled similar to how port or sherry or other fortified wines.
      They start with wine, and some mixture of wine and spirit or just wine or just spirit is allowed to absorb the essence of any variation of a laundry list of aromatic herbs and flavorings.
      This can then recieve a certain ammount of sugar or sweetening syrup and perhaps a colorant in some cases and then its bottled.
      So wormwood has been used in the past, and with the relaxing of certain regulations, is again today in some varieties. However your statement as i think you meant it was absinthe is the same thing as vermouth.
      That would be more correct but still totally wrong.
      They are both botanically infused alcoholic beverages, and might if you look back far enough have common roots depending on your perspectice being procedural or result dependent, but they are really very different beverage from most perspectives.
      What you said is similar to saying that sugar is the same thing as koolaid since both are sweet.
      Kool aid is actually any of a variation of products containing sugar or a sweetener or not but whose primary purpose is to be added to water to produce a colored and flavored drink.
      Sugar can be one of the ingredients but that doesn't make it the same thing.
      Or you could say that methol is the same thing as a newport. Its not.
