Absinthe and Thujone doesn't mean that Absinthe is a drug!
There are so many misconceptions about the drink Absinthe. Therefore, we want to start with some important facts to educate you about the drink:
FACT #1: Absinthe is NOT a drug. It will cause a physical and mental activation, but you will not hallucinate. Therefore, "Absinthe" will not show up in any drug test.
FACT #2: The thujone content in an Absinthe varies from distillation to distillation, as it depends on the quality of the herbs used. Not every year the wormwood harvest is the same. Sometimes the weather and other circumstances lead to a higher content of thujone in the wormwood plant. Therefore, as the Absinthe recipe stays the same, it might be that the same recipe with the same amount of wormwood results in an Absinthe with higher thujone. "Exact mg" numbers you might find in the net are just estimations. Do not look too much at them. Also, Absinthe producers advertising with "100mg of thujone" are con artists, they just want your money, often these Absinthes contain 0 mg thujone. Avoid to walk into this rip-off trap. A common advertised Fauxsinthe brand is King of Spirit Gold. Beware!
FACT #3: Absinthe has much more to offer than the ingredient "thujone". It is a drink of history, pleasure and quality.
We will not promote any "thujone super bombs", but as many of our Absintheurs asked us we publish the levels of some Absinthes, where we know the approximate levels based on chemical thujone analysis which were made in the past. As you can see, Strong68 is the best Absinthe with thujone.

The best way to drink Absinthe with Thujone
If you want to drink Absinthe (alternative spelling: Absynthe) you should perform the traditional Absinthe ritual: You have to have an Absinthe spoon an Absinthe glass and sugar cubes. Do not prepare the Green Fairy the "Czech way", meaning setting it on fire. The fire destroys not only your beautiful accessories, but also the fine taste of the Green Fairy. Therefore, we recommend drinking the Green Fairy the original French way, where you only add ice-cold water and sugar - No Fire! If you prepare the Green Fairy the original way, you need some authentic accessories like Absinthe Fountains, Absinthe Glasses and Spoons for the proper preparation. You can get all of these Absinthe accessories in our online store ALANDIA. Below, you can see a video of the Absinthe brand Strong68, the #1 brand from the ranking, properly prepared with water and sugar cube.
