Absinthe has enjoyed the reputation of being a creativity enhancer and aphrodisiac for over 200 years now. Henri-Louis Pernod's original absinthe recipe included green anise, fennel, angelica, hyssop and wormwood (which contains the neurotoxin thujone). Chlorophyll was then added to give absinthe a green hue thus giving rise to its romantic nickname "La Fée Verte" or the green fairy. Nearly a century after its near global ban, absinthe is making a dramatic comeback. All members of the European Union and UK now allow the sale of absinthe, with a limit of 35 milligrams of thujone.

The United States has a rule requiring thujone levels in beverages of this sort to be less than 10 mg or 10 parts per million (ppm). American Absinthe makers will never get it right! If they make thujone-free absinthe, it is simply not absinthe. But don't worry! Whether you live in Las Vegas, New York, Tokyo or Amsterdam, you will always have absinthe with wormwood near yourself.

Though it is best known as a chemical compound in the spirit absinthe, it is unlikely to be responsible for absinthe's alleged stimulant and psychoactive effects due to the small quantities present.[5][6][7] Thujone acts on the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) as an antagonist (opposite to the effects of alcohol). As a competitive antagonist of GABA, thujone alone is considered to be convulsant,[8] though by interfering with the inhibitory transmitter GABA, it may convey stimulating, mood-elevating effects at low doses. It is also used in perfumery as a component of several essential oils.

The compound was discovered after absinthe became popular in the mid-19th century. Dr. Valentin Magnan, who studied alcoholism, tested pure wormwood oil on animals and discovered it caused seizures independent from the effects of alcohol. Based on this, absinthe, which contains a small amount of wormwood oil, was assumed to be more dangerous than ordinary alcohol. Eventually, thujone was isolated as the cause of these reactions. Magnan went on to study 250 abusers of alcohol and noted that those who drank absinthe had seizures and hallucinations. The seizures are caused by the (+)-α-thujone interacting with the GABA receptors, causing epileptic activity.[18] In light of modern evidence, these conclusions are questionable, as they are based on a poor understanding of other compounds and diseases,[26] and clouded by Magnan's belief that alcohol and absinthe were degenerating the French race.[27]

After absinthe was banned, research dropped off until the 1970s, when the British scientific journal Nature published an article comparing the molecular shape of thujone to tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the primary psychoactive substance found in cannabis, and hypothesized it would act the same way on the brain, sparking the myth that thujone was a cannabinoid.[14][28]

More recently, following European Council Directive No. 88/388/EEC (1988) allowing certain levels of thujone in foodstuffs in the EU,[29] the studies described above were conducted and found only minute levels of thujone in absinthe.

Absinthe offered for sale in the United States must be thujone-free by the same standard that applies to other beverages containing Artemisia,[34] so absinthe with small amounts of thujone may be legally imported.

For both Jedd and Ray, one of their favorite parts of participating in these sorts of events is hearing the wild and bizarre myths and rumors people have heard about absinthe. For Ray the rich history of absinthe is more exciting and intriguing than any of the myths, and he loves being able to share that story with people.

The mythology of absinthe is almost as delicious as the taste of absinthe. The outlier spirit that tastes sweet because of the potpourri of herbs and spices which often the taste of alcohol, has become a regular part of most modern bars. And people are intrigued by its story and its rituals.

Developed as a high proof flavored spirit, absinthe received a boost in France as vineyards suffered from attack by the insect phyloxera, the pest that caused the withering of vines which threatened the future of wine production. As wine became more expensive and scarce, absinthe was there to fill the void. And being more potent than wine, it gave customers more bang for the franc.

Absinthe, with its rituals and paraphernalia, gave people an otherworldly experience in a bar. Instead of just a pour, people watched drops fall on a sugar cube while the liquid in the glass transformed. The drink was highly perfumed by the smell of anise. It was an experience that led the romantic demi-monde habitués to weave stories about the power of absinthe and its hallucinogenic visits from the green fairy.

The toxic effects of α-thujone in mammals are well established but the mode of neurotoxic action is poorly understood. It is porphyrogenic, possibly thereby contributing to the absinthe-induced illness of Vincent van Gogh (5, 16). α-Thujone is neurotoxic in rats (17), and ingestion of wormwood oil containing α-thujone recently resulted in human poisoning (18). The hypothesis that α-thujone activates the CB1 cannabinoid receptor, based on the structural similarity of thujone enol with tetrahydrocannabinol (19), was not supported experimentally (20). The convulsant action led to multiple speculations on mechanisms, one of which was antagonism of the γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptor system (20), a proposal that was not explored further. α- and β-Thujone are reduced in rabbits from the ketones to the corresponding alcohols (thujol and neothujol) (21) of unknown toxicity but no other metabolites are identified.

Absinthe, ethanol, and ethanol containing α-thujone inhibit [3H]EBOB binding to mouse brain membranes. (A) Comparison of an absinthe preparation (based on ethanol content) with ethanol (average of duplicate measurements or mean SD, n = 6). (B) Comparison of ethanol with ethanol containing 5 μM α-thujone (average of duplicate measurements).

Absinthe and wormwood oil contain not only α-thujone as their purported active ingredient but also many other candidate toxicants, including β-thujone and ethanol in the case of absinthe. β-Thujone is less toxic than α-thujone to mice (10) and Drosophila and in addition is 2.3-fold less potent in the [3H]EBOB assay (this investigation). Ethanol also enhances neuronal GABAA receptor function (30) and therefore might suppress the blocking action of α-thujone in absinthe. However, ethanol does not alter the inhibitory action of α-thujone on [3H]EBOB binding. The α- and β-thujone content of the absinthe sample examined here (0.4 and 5 ppm or 2.6 and 33 μM, respectively) may be a contributing factor in the somewhat greater potency of absinthe (based on ethanol content) than of ethanol per se in the [3H]EBOB assay. However, the 10 ppm (66 μM) upper limit of the European Commission (6) and particularly the 260 ppm (1710 μM) thujone content of old absinthe (6) would give a detectable to major inhibitory effect beyond that of the ethanol content. Current low levels of α- and β-thujone in absinthe are of much less toxicological concern than the ethanol content (6).

Many books have been written about absinthe in "modern" times. Some of them very well written and well researched while others... well, let's just say they're not as good. In the books section I have listed some of all these. Books that I consider either good enough to be mentioned or bad enough to warn you about them. Most books are readily available through any bookstore, on- or offline.
