We began smiling and laughing, everything was clear and vivid. The muscles on the side of my face were pulling my lips into a smile. I couldn't even control it. When most people think of Absinthe and thujone, they think of 'tripping', but I find it more akin to cocaine or crystal meth. I feel as if I can do anything. I made more of those cigarettes to smoke with other friends, and now everyone is all over them. I've been getting 50 cents per cig. The only drawback I can see (although there is possible unseen harm. It is a toxic essential oil) is that there is a tolerance. It has never been the same as the first time. I still recommend it.
About a week after discovering the smoking method, the same friend from before (B) and I came upon a bottle of Sprite and Everclear, a weird spur-of-the-moment thing. I dropped 40 drops of Wormwood Oil, which of course sat atop the liquid, and we sucked it down. I knew that the amount of liquor I had just had should've left me substantially drunk, but I wasn't. I felt the freedom and frivolity of drunkenness, and the smiley joy and top-of-the-world feeling from thujone. It leaves me energized. It was a really fantastic feeling, but about three hours after drinking, I was dead tired. More so than I ever have been after drinking before. I feel asleep in my car in a parking lot for five hours, then went home and slept again.
Overall, I really enjoy thujone, more so than most illegal drugs, but I don't know the harms that I'm sure it is enacting on my body.
