That absinthe sucks! See my absinthe thread- http://www.shaman-australis.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=29442

***Definition of Absinthe*** Absinthe must contain Artemisia absinthium, also known as "Wormwood" (in appreciable amounts) Absinthe must contain Illicium verum and/or Pimpinella anisum, also known as "Anise". Absinthe may or may not contain additional botanicals, herbs or plants. Absinthe may either be green (verte) or clear (blanche), but it must be colored naturally. Absinthe may NOT be artificially colored, flavored or sweetened. Absinthe may or may not have botanicals and/or herbs steeped in the distillate for color. Absinthe must be made from ONLY distilled spirits and botanicals, plants, herbs, etc., no other ingredients what-so-ever are allowed. All ingredients should be organic. Absinthe must change color and become milky white when water is added. It must louche. Botanicals and/or herbs must be macerated and soaked in alcohol and then they MUST be distilled. The finished product must exceed 100 proof or 50% (ABV) alcohol. ~~~Absinthe Accessories~~~ Absinthe Fountain Absinthe Glass (Pontarlier) Absinthe Spoon Bistro Tray Carafe/Decanter filled with Ice Water Coaster/Saucer Dripper (Brouilleur) Spoon Holder Sugar Bowl/Dish Sugar Cubes Topette The Absinthe Ritual- 1)Pour a dose of Absinthe into the glass (about one shot or 1oz). 2)Place a sugar cube in the Dripper or on top of a Spoon. 3)Put the Dripper or Spoon on top of the Glass. 4)Slowly drip cold water over the sugar cube, through the Dripper/Spoon and into the glass. 5)Watch as the Absinthe in the glass mixes with the water and turns to an opalescent milky white with traces of iridescent green This effect is known as the “Louche“. 6)Stir with the spoon. 7)Smell, then taste… enjoy! ***Notes*** Never use fire during the Absinthe ritual, it is NOT traditional, it ruins the flavor of the Absinthe and is dangerous!

~~~The Shaman's Guide to being a Trip-Sitter~~~ *"Freak-outs", panic attacks, intense anxiety, etc. - Calm them and be reassuring; Explain that the feelings will pass; Steer them clear of crowds, noisy music and bright lights; Put them in a quiet, dim but not completely dark area. If they're hyperventilating (over-breathing) encourage them to relax, and take long, slow, deep breaths. *It is common for many people to experience- Ego-death ??? *Some words of Advice- Always research the substance you plan on ingesting and know all the possible dangers and take the necessary precautions to stay safe. Never mix various types of drugs. This includes mixing psychoactives with medicinal drugs such as pharmaceutical medications, etc. When using a new substance which you have never before used, or a new batch, try a small dose first to see how your body will react, then proceed SLOWLY! NEVER attempt to drive, operate machinery or perform other hazardous acts while under the influence of ANY psychoactive and/or drug. Make your experience as positive as possible by choosing where, when and with who you trip with, this is especially important. Do not trip during times of stress, depression or anger, wait until the time is right for you. Women should NEVER use ANY substances when pregnant and/or lactating or breast feeding. Couples (both the male and the female) should not use any substances while trying to conceive a child. Blatant public intoxication is unacceptable. Drugs are NOT for children (people under 17 years of age). Dosing another human with a drug, chemical or psychoactive without their knowledge and consent is considered a form of assault. Habitual use of ANY substance is considered negative and unhealthy, all psychoactives should be used in moderation. "This will be over very soon, you don't have very long to explore this state of mind." "Anything that arises let it pass, be it euphoria or sorrow, contemplate your existence in this exact moment." “Expect everything, expect nothing. Accept anything.” *Precautions- ??? Take a tester "micro-dose" a few days before doing a true dose with any substance which you have never before ingested in your life to make sure they are no allergic or otherwise adverse effects. Drink plenty of water during the experience. *The Entheogenic Experience- )Intro- Trip-sitter should act as driver and a guide, change the music etc. projecting a soothing presence. Set and setting. )Prepare the area- Whether you go camping or stay home, sit out on a beach or next to the fireplace in your living room, you need to prepare the area. Remove things that bind your to your normal, everyday scope of reality. Clean up your area, remove any clutter or much of anything to get distracted with and caught up in everyday reality. Get some pens, pencils, papers and such so you can draw, or your could ever paint. Have some relaxed enjoyable music. I think one of the best things to do while trippin' is to watch natural, if that's a campfire, or a sunset, some deer of in the distance, clouds, birds, whatever... I always find that very enlightening and comforting. have some food, ready losing all sense of time is very important., so cover all clocks Turn off telephones Burn sense incense, cleanse the area and make it into a holy space )Prepare yourself- Fasting- don't eat 3-7 hours before ingestion, empty stomach Take off your clothes and put this lion cloth on Dunk you in cold water Massage Steam bath Mud bath Clean you up and soap you Shave head Clip finger nails and toenails Tuning Forks Meditation Yoga and stretching Burn Incense Write down a question, have a clear intent Pray- say i am all yours, please don't hurt me, etc. Follow the nessicery diet and fasting period required by the entheogen of your choosing. read plant med. )Ingestion- Methods of Ingestion- Sublingual/Buccal Administration- Absorbed through the mouth.

Rectal Administration- Absorbed through the anus Transmucosal Administration or Insufflation- snorted or Transdermal Administration- Topically applied to the skin or Inhalational or Inspiration- Smoking absorbed by the lungs Drop it in ya eye- This is dangerous and not recommended.

That's awesome, I really want some plants... would anybody send one to the U.S.A.? How rare are they?

Thanks anyway J.
