Home Made Absinthe Kits?

What about those websites promoting "homemade absinthe kits?"


Do-it-yourself absinthe kits are gaining popularity, being sold on websites and on ebay. Many of these revolve around the use of essential oil of wormwood or harsh solvents. These are not absinthe. These are poison. Besides being a rather unpleasant, pale impersonation of real absinthe, drinking essential oils is not a great way to get "high", but an excellent excuse to visit the emergency room. Pure essential oil of wormwood can cause renal failure and death, due to the excessive amounts of thujone, and neurotoxins found in it.
