'Kay, so I just bought some wormwood extract on special order from a health food store. I originally got it for part of a blessing ritual for my scrying mirror. I was just wondering if there was anything else I could do with it. I heard it has some psychoactive stuff attached to it, but I don't know if it's safe to experiment with. Erowid didn't seem to have much information on wormwood itself (though there is PLENTY on Absinthe). Anybody know anything at all? Here's what I got: Wormwood liquid herbal extract Artemisia absinthium Leaf and flower 1 fluid ounce Dry herb/menstruum ratio: 1:5 Contains certified organic grain alcohol (70-75%), distilled water and wormwood extractives
the absinthe is made from it and u shuld put anis... but its destilating proces im not shure how its done and worm wood has tujhone in it its very psyhoactive but it need preparations
Okay, but I'm not looking to make absinthe. I just wondered if there was a certain amount I could take that would do something for me without killing me.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thujone Don't bother. The psychoactive properties of Thujone are a myth.
alpha-thujone is psychoactive, as it does antagonize GABA-1A receptors, which interestingly enough, is opposite action of ethanol. It's a neurotoxin which produces delusions, therefore not recommended for habitual use. the "hallucinations" are similar to anticholinergics.
