Why is absinte illegal?

Temporance at the beginning of the 20th century is largely guilt for many misconceptions of absinthe and the fact that the spirit is illegal or firmly regulated in many countries. In fact, studies suggest that absinthe has no inherent danger, especially in the production of competent distillers, and the industry eager to dispel the popular idea that it is dangerous in the interests of selling more of this infamous spirit. All over the world, the legal status of absinthe differs, with some nations completely prohibiting it, while others allow to sell specific types and some do not attempt to regulate sales, beyond the regulations that apply to other spirits. Most perfectly includes a worm and has a distinctive greenish color and a strong taste similar to liquorice. At the end of the 18th century, people began to believe that they had caused hallucinations and madness, and the moderation movement jumped and popularized the idea that the spirit was dangerously addictive and psychoactive. It has been proposed that consumption could lead to permanent madness and that it should beForbidden and at the beginning of the 20th century many nations actually did.

people who believed that absinthe was dangerous, point to a chemical compound known as thujone , which is present in Wormwood. Thujone is actually quite dangerous, but only in extremely high quantities. For example, a Wormwood excerpt could have a worm level that is high enough to cause serious health problems, but the traditionally produced absinte contains Thujone only in trace quantities that do not seem to be a health risk. In some countries, the Thujone content is firmly regulated in the hope that concentrations maintain very low.

Hallucination, convulsions and other unpleasant symptoms that people associated with absinthe consumption could also be the result of consuming poorly distilled alcohol or ghost consumption with a very high alcohol concentration. Absinth is forI also sorrowfully very strong and consumption of something, such as pure grains of alcohol, can cause all the symptoms that have once allegedly associated with it, including death. In fact, the spirit seems to be not psychoactive at all, especially when drunk in a traditional way, diluted with water and sugar.

After the prohibition, the absinthe became surrounded by mysticism and many people raised this spirit to a high level. Because nations have slowly released their bans, the public results were often explosive and people flock to buy a spirit. Some people found themselves disappointed because they are preparing them for a decline.
