In the event of a ban on e-liquid...

[HighTech]

I'm going to assume that you have a bad health condition, I'm sorry to hear that. Not sure on the exact law there, but last thing I heard, it was alright for certain types of ill people to have it.

Hell, Cali is about to legalize it statewide for anyone who wants to buy it and pay the taxes on it...

He seems happy with the results so far. OTOH
I vape 0mg of nicotine. (See my signature...)

Sorry Father...I didn't mean to imply that you would actually partake...I thought...uhhhh...maybe you had some info from your sinners...uhhh...I mean perish

Oh goodness! I'm not sure how a state can do that on its own, you would think that would have to be something that is nationwide. Not sure how the DEA isn't allowed to do anything about that or what their role is in it.

Anyway, I won't turn this into the other thread where we are talking about such things! Please be careful and watch yourself.

my .... was legaly purchased, and legaly used for smoking marijuana in the state of CA. I have a license to legaly purchase, posses, and smoke marijuana, so FYI... its is not a crime in my state... (p.s. I dont really have a ...., but if I did, it would be legal.)

Amen! That's right. We should at least be able to get parts (atty's and such). The only real problem I can see is the juice.

Though I am sure that just like "tobacco pipes" that look like something that a marijuana user would use, the police would have probable cause to search your car for the juice if it is indeed made illegal.

I really do not think that it's going to be made illegal. I am pretty sure that the government is going to find a way to tax it, maybe change the liquid formula a little bit to suit their "needs" and then they are going to profit. I don't think that anyone needs to freak out and think that it's going to be totally illegal. I think that they will work on some way to make it so they can do it, but only under their terms and control, which HOPEFULLY doesn't involve making it as expensive as hell.

Simply buy a pack of cigs, get some empty tea-bags, rap the tobacco in these, toss the tobacco bags in a small cup of water, boiling water in microwave, and prestO!!! While taking the bags out sqeeze the he11 out of them, get all the juice you can!

Mix Nicotine juice in with VG/PG, fav flavor, dripidy drop, vape and enjoy!!!

Eric Holder at DOJ indicated a few months ago that the DOJ/DEA would not be going after marijuana (federally) in states that approve its use (medically). If California legalizes/taxes it, that will be a test of the new administration.

So, maybe I am out of my mind, and this could be potentially VERY dangerous, but I have a thought. In the event of a ban on e-cigs ( and I'm not to worried about the ban on devices, because I see too many ways around it. If they can't ban .... pips, how could they ban these?) I think the juices are what might be going away here soon. Well, I have my E-cig, and carts, so what do I do about the juice? Well here is my Idea, and please, tell me if Im crazy, and only try it at your own risk, I can get VG or PG commercialy no prob, artificial flavorings, no prob, but what about the nicotine? Well, nicotine patches are available, and they contain a regulated amount of nicotine. Well, what if you got a bottle of VG, and soaked a patch in it for a while, added some flavor, and vaped it? Is this a great Idea, or one of the stupidest things you've ever heard? Again, just an Idea, and I'm not advocating trying it, but maybe someone more informed on these things can shed some light on this....

I have been wondering if the nic inhaler would be a source nicotine. Would there be a way to utilize them?

You'll still be getting all the other crap that's in the ciggies along with the nicotine

Back to the absinthe topic, sorry to trail away from the original topic... Philadelphia Distilling is making absinthe in the US, legally, and for sale. I'm still a newbie and cannot post links, but google Philadelphia distilling and you'll see it for yourself.

Father, thanks for your link. I'll def check that out.

Yes it is, infact there are a few brands making legal Absinthe here in the states, and even some french companies, however, the alcohol content isn't quite a high as traditional Absinthe, and they do not have wormwood, which is the psychoactive ingredient. I bought some from BevMo a while ago... it's good if you like the taste, but it is still not the real stuff.

 

[Elokin6]

American absinthe is not the same at all. They put way too much anise in it.

my name is a play on words, a mashup of scaramouche, and the fact that i am an absinthe fan, using the term louche, which means to add water to absinthe, creating a torrent like effect in the liquid.

why are people talking about absinthe like it needs to be smuggled in? absinthe has been legal for a few years now. i can buy it at walgreens!!!

the alcohol content is right in line with traditional absinthes, 50-75(ish)% or 100-150 proof. nobody drinks it at that concentration, nobody should. like eating wasabi straight to impress your friends, all you do is waste a component of a wonderful drinking experience. the water opens up new flavors hidden in the absinthe.

all absinthe by definition has wormwood. it is part of the holy trinity of absinthe making. and dont even begin to get me started on the so-called "psychoactive" properties of absinthe. anyone who believes that is uneducated about the drink. it doesnt even come from wormwood itself! THUJONE is an impurity in wormwood that is a poison and can cause madness in VERY high concentrations. and you only get high concentrations of it by using crappy quality wormwood. most likely, the "psychoactive" effect of absinthe was due to the insanely high alcohol content causing alcohol induced psychosis.

absinthe was reinstated by the us government on the condition that it had less than a certain ppm level of thujone. all absinthes now meet or are below this level, since they would like to be sold in the us.

seriously, please go to Wormwoodsociety.com and research. the guys and gals there are quite warm and welcoming, love to teach people ins and outs, and are VERY knowlegeable. they also have a great database of absinthe reviews by brand.

us made brands? st georges comes to mind. theres another one being made in upstate ny i dont remember the name, but was quite tasty. american brands tend to be different formulations than traditional absinthe outside of the holy trinity of ingredients. ted breaux is one of the bigger french makers, most notably his mass appeal lucid brand is one of my favorites. avoid the czechsinthe stuff, its just green colored vodka, essentially and tastes like the inside of a prosthetic leg. there are the jades, which are pretty expensive, but worth every penny. i could go on and on.

in this forum where we are trying to educate and fight myths and spread the good word about our beloved product, please also make sure that you are not spreading disinformation about other products too. sorry, but this subject is dear to me, as you can see. hope you dont take me the wrong way!

True, and watch just how fast the other states catch on, and even the Federal Government itself when it "clicks" that instead of spending billions on enforcement, prisoners, etc., that they could be raking in billions in tax revenue... Cha Ching! Pot For Everyone!

you see it as a victory. i see it as another sign of the decline of western civilization.

I have had a Lucid, and a few other brands. I knew that wormwood is not ACTUALLY a psycoactive drug, but was merely trying to make a statement without typing a 3 page essay. Thank you for clarifying, I am surely not an expert on the subject, but will drink it on occasion. As far as I know however, there are still some brands that ARE banned from import to the united states, and I was under the impression it was due to the wormwood content. Also, I think the last bottle of "legal" absinthe I bought here, did not have a milky effect when we added watter, however a friend broucht a bottle back from overseas, which had a very nice cloudyness to it when a splash of water was added.

P.s. Pot is LEGAL in CA. Not federaly however. The only symptom you need is having an extra $100 you want to spend on obtaining the license. There are littleraly phyicians, who do only this, take your $100 perscrition fee, and write you a perscription card for something as meaningless as a headache, or mild insomnia... It costs $100 a year to renew it. There are something like 300 medical marijuana dispensaries in Los Angeles alone.... not to metion Oaksterdam (oakland, where you can legaly grow over 20 plants)

 

[mintee]

traditional Absinthe, and they do not have wormwood, which is the psychoactive ingredient.

There has been proven evidence that the thujone found in wormwood will cause a liver failure prior to hallucinations. So, absinthe never caused said hallucinations. It was probably the combination of opium that was intaken at the time.

Sorry about the drug talk but this is completely off topic.

I am just quoting/bumping your post again. Very good point, and if you want a drink that makes you "hallunicate" then I'd go a rap, rap, raping at Poes chamber door.
