Cool!

Maybe that is the place to try.

I've tried some from Alandia. I ordered several to see if there were noticeable brand variations, but find no effect at all.

The Thujon concentration for their products runs around 30-35 g/kg (not sure of the units). They also run about 70% alcohol, so I figured two ounces to start would be like 4 regular drinks plus the Thujon.

Nothin'.

Perhaps, though, the effect for me is the identical opposite to that of alcohol. I usually really feel two drinks, and after these blasts of absinthe I didn't even notice that feeling.

Tried it 5 more times with different brands, all on an empty stomach - same.

Anybody else seem to not get any effect, per se?

I will try the site you mentioned and see what I might be nissing!
