cassinho Posted January 30, 2008 Author Share Posted January 30, 2008 I heard the background behind the absynthe prohibition was in france cuz it was taking over wine's bussines. Also read that absynthe has no hallucinogenic effect, in fact, the intoxication from absynthe gives muscular spams, and as you guys sayd, youlll get drunk way before you get intoxicated from the absynthe itself.but yes, i wanna try it on my base now, but in 1:4 abs/wat proportion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shisha fan Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 i wouldn`t get if for the flavor either, absinthe isn`t exactly tasty. you`re supposed to drink it with alot sugar, and thats for a reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hookah_hoop Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 (edited) Pinot Noir in the base and Double Apple in the bowl is mouthwateringly delicious.And yes the hype surrounding Absinthe and hallucinations is bunk (I'm a bit of an absinthe buff). Thujone is a chemical that comes from Wormwood which is an herb that is a key ingredient in Absinthe distillation. Thujone has been known to cause convulsions in extremely high doses, but you have to conslume lots and lots of it. Absinthe would be ok to use in the base if you like anise flavor.

AmunRa Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I've tried vodka, coffee, and red wine in mine. I wasn't too impressed with the coffe because the flavors didn't mix well with the toacco I used. The wine did quite well (2 parts wine, 1 part water in the base), and the vodka...well...I was feeling pretty after a few hits of that. I tried to keep going but it made me sick to my stomach.I have seen people use milk before, which I think is disgusting. But hey, different strokes for different folks. This is the great thing about hookah. There are lots of flavors and ways to mix it up. Keep trying, and tell us what works so we can learn from your mistakes!

Perrj99 Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 lol My friend filled the base of his with milk once. I sat back and watched for the results...milk bubbling up, through his hoses and everyone was confused why...Good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plain Old Me Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I've used milk with a white peach flavor once and it was simply heaven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dom Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 i've heard a lot of people post about wine and absenth, but how many shots would you recommend for your reguar liquors like rum or whisky? someone once told me to just throw a couple of shots in the water and you'll get wasted, but any more than that would make you puke and make the smoke really harsh. i'm not sure that'd be enough shots, though. what do ya'll think?

Elky Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 One of my favorites is mixing a few shots of good old Jack Danials in the vase for smoking with a rose flavored shisha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZenSilk Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Oh god absinthe doens't make you hallucinate. You would, like Gaia said, have to drink it every day for a while, so some is still in your system when you consume more, but you don't go to the point of puking. It is made with Wormwood, an herb used to aid in Lucid Dreaming. Wormwood brings on the "Dollhouse Effect" (if you guy know what that is), which in no way is Hallucinating. It leads to Euphoria and a fuzzy, kind of altered way of looking at your surroundings. So basically you get, instead of a plastering drunk, a calming hazed kind of drunk. People like it for it's color and taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shisha fan Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 i never heard of anyone hallucinating from absinthe, it`s all a big myth in my opinion. i would prefer a nice glass of whiskey over absinthe anyday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glassjaw Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Not sure what you would mix it with, but I'm sure Peach Schnapps would make a fantastic addition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1v3th3ad Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I have tripped with Absinthe, its just short. Its not the full-out effects, and its momentary...Lasts for like 5-15 for me. Everything kind of a blur like when you watch a sped up traffic cam(run down from 8hrs to 2mins during nighttime). Like everyone else already said, its not all that they say it to be...I'm into the whole ethnobotanicals, part of my faith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahwahoo2006 Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Water in the base, alcohol in my mouth. That is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cassinho Posted January 30, 2008 Author Share Posted January 30, 2008 Alcohol in the base will add some taste, it wont get you wasted, it might help to get lightheaded faster or stronger i guess.I use it to add taste, most of the liquors have unique flavour that would be a wonderfull add to hookahs (this is not to far away from cusine)Saying water in the base alcohol in my mouth is like saying not to add wine to some cooking recipies cuz wine goes to the mouth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
