herbgirl Report post Posted February 1, 2013 Hi everybody! This is my official introduction. My name is Fiona Rairigh and I am currently studying for my Masters degree in the UK. I'm writing my thesis on the ethnobotany of absinthe and was advised to hop on the forum. So, here I am. I look forward to many exciting conversations in the future. Cheers!

Gwydion Stone Report post Posted February 2, 2013 Céad míle fáilte, iníon Rairigh. This could be an interesting discussion; the huge majority of ethnobotanical information about absinthe is anecdotal and unsupported by science. Before the 1970s, absinthe wasn't even thought of as a drug, but a poison, and even then only by fanatical prohibitionists and gullible psychonauts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
