The title may contain two, short, necessary context sentences. otherwise they'd be starving.You must post a clear and direct question in the title. sorry if that offends anyone but the whole 'scene' is full of BS, it exists on PR and who you know, so people have to market themselves by creating a fake character that seems deep and mysterious. to me that kind of thing really stands out as indicators of a person, and in my opinion, that is very common type BS among artist types. i mean what the fuck, what a joke of a thing for someone to say. ![]() i remember an interview i saw where he was talking about his watercolors he was doing, and one had a green splotch on it and he tried to claim he 'accidentally' dipped his brush in his jar of absinthe for that one. he's absolutely fake and full of it and his romance with absinthe is just one prime example. the guy totally went along with the notion that absinthe is some super mystical crazy cool wild thing that may or may not make you trip ballz but totally does make you more of an artiste intellectual and all around totally cool person. and that matches my own personal experience but also this observable example you've mentioned here. I think for one thing it turns out a lot of poets are 'artistes' are just full of shit. the other psychedelic nonsense? A ploy by prohibitionists to get Absinthe reformulated or removed from the market. That led to the claims of hallucinations and other major drug-like qualities. People got SICK of these antics.just like they got sick of 20-somethings crushing 4-Locos and raising hell.and so they did everything they could to get it banned. So they were wasted, but walking and talking not realizing how wasted they were in many circumstances.and they were going about town, raising hell. Not only were they getting trashed though - they were LUCID. A large part of it was the consumers' faults :: I make the 4loco reference a lot when explaining absinthe to people, but that's because it works.īasically, people would get ABSOLUTELEY TRASHED on Absinthe because not only were they going out drinking it, but they were starting pretty early in the day - imagine going to a bar to 'get some work done' at happy hour, but instead of a basic call mixed drink, you're doing doubles that go down like singles because of the mouthfeel and watering down (from the fountains etc). I suspect alcohol and sugar have different and/or exaggerated psychoactive effects in higher doses as opposed to just alcohol, but I'd need to do more research to confirm that.īest answer so far, but yes - it comes down to propaganda. I've hit dream-like states with just whiskey and wine.
