Ok so Lucid is supposed to be a legal type of Absinthe human being sold in the United States. Their website say right now it is single being sold surrounded by select stores in New York City. I'm in recent times wondering if anyone has tried this drink or know someone that have. I guess my other question is can this stuff really take home you hallucinate as well.

Absinthe hasn't be available in the U.S. since it be banned within 1910 - until now.
Coming soon to NYC: The liquor that could inspire you to paint a grazing land of
sunflowers.
Absinthe, the green-tinted liquid that inspired legions of artists, writers and
bohemians, from Van Gogh to Oscar Wilde, surrounded by Belle Epoque France, is coming here
later this month for the first time contained by nearly a century.
Called Lucid and imported from France by New York-based Viridian Spirits, it will
be the first above-board absinthe to be available in the U.S. since its refusal in the 1910s.
Viridian is trying to correct the misperceptions that enjoy given absinthe a bad rap.
A liquor distilled from herb, including wormwood, anise and fennel, which give it
its distinct color and licorice piece, absinthe was first introduced within late 18th century
France as an herbal remedy. It next caught on with artists and the Cafe Society,
who nickname it "The Green Fairy" for its supposed clarifying effects on the mind.
That absinthe was cheap and at hand was a wine shortage didn't hurt. At its largeness,
the French consumed 36 million liters a year.
Absinthe, however, soon came to be blamed for rampant drunkenness and gain
a reputation as a dangerous elixir that produced hallucination and bizarre
behavior, leading to its prevention in Europe and heaps countries. The culprit was believed
to be thujone, a toxin contained contained by wormwood. (Absinthe also figured within the
mysterious disappearance of George Allen Smith IV, of Greenwich, Conn., from a
Royal Caribbean cruise ship in 2005 while on his honeymoon. He and a group
including his wife be reported to have be drinking absinthe purchased in Italy
the evening he presumably go overboard.)
Modern science has debunk many of the myths surrounding absinthe, including
that it contains immense amounts of thujone. But its reputation as the Lindsay Lohan of
liquors linger on. To counter that reputation, Viridian turned to an American-born
absinthe expert and historian, T.A. Breaux, to develop its formula. Lucid is made
using authentic techniques, including antique copper stills and pure French herb.
The product has merely a minute amount of thujone, allowing it to pass U.S. Bureau of
Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives regulations. But since it's a whopping
124 proof, the company recommend it be consumed in the traditional carriage:
diluted with wet.
