RE: [DL] Let's talk about drugs...

Absinthe, "The green fairy" is a frighteningly green substance made from
wormwood.  It induces fantastic and strange visions, due to being a
neurotoxin.  This is definitely an "Alice in Wonderland" sort of
drug--things are strange, sensations are very unusual.  Think a lower-grade
LSD for the last century. It was traditionally served with water and a cube
of sugar; the sugar cube was placed on an "absinthe spoon" and the liquor
was drizzled over the sugar into the glass of water. The sugar helped take
the bitter edge from the absinthe; when poured into the water, the liquor
turned milky white.  This is definitely a civilised person's drink--mostly
European.  Considering what they drank in the Old West, you probably won't
encounter too many absinte drinkers who aren't wealthy and Eurpoean, or at
least affecting it.

Hmmmm... this makes me think of a really interesting type of "mystic"
What if Absinthe allowed a user to see into the Hunting Grounds?

Just a random evil thought...
