Absinthe Was Banned ! Why?

Absinthe is now perfectly legal in many countries around the world but why were Absinthe and Absithe kits banned at all?

After all Why Did Government Ban Absinthe ?

A misconception prevails that France is home of Absinthe but Absinthe was actually created by Dr Pierre Ordinaire in Switzerland. It was very popular in the 19th century and early 20th century, a time known as La Belle Epoque a golden age before the start of the First World War. It is a herbal alcoholic beverage flavored with wormwood, aniseed, fennel and sometimes other herbs such as lemon balm, hyssop and mint.

Absinthe was associated with many great writers and artists who claimed that it gave them inspiration. People who were dedicated to Absinthe included Van Gogh, Oscar Wilde, and Pablo Picasso.

Absinthe or the Green Fairy (La fee verte) became even more popular than fermented types of beverages such as beer and cider and upset wine producers by replacing wine as the most popular alcoholic drink in France. Doctors and prohibitionists claimed that Absinthe was as bad as cannabis, that it was psychoactive and caused convulsions, hallucinations, insanity, brain damage and death and this blamed Absinthe’s popularity for France’s growing alcoholism problem. It was also associated with loose morals creeping in the French society.

After the heinous murder of a whole family by a known Absinthe drinker, prohibitionists convinced the government that Absinthe was a danger. Many Countries banned Absinthe in 1915 including France.

Absinthe substitutes and Absinthe styles of alcoholic drinks such as Pernod Pastis and Ricards were developed to market to those missing the taste of Absinthe.

Thujone

Thujone is a monoterpene a key ingredient in Absinthe, and it was this chemical that was blamed for the dangerous effects of Absinthe. It was commonly Considered to produce similar effect to that of THC of cannabis.

Thujone, in large quantities, is toxic and does affect the GABA receptors of the brain but only when consumed in LARGE quantities. It was a mis conception that pre ban Absinthe had up to 350mg of thujone per liter, but this has now been proved false. Tests on vintage bottles of Absinthe have shown maximum of 6mg thuone that can not produce any psychedelic or harmful effects.

Such tests and other research, articles and studies have shown that absinthe is just as safe as any other drink with a high alcohol content.

Thujone content is controlled in the EU and in the United States. Beverages labeled “bitters” to contain up to 35mg per kg and alcoholic beverages with an ABV (alcohol by volume) over 25% to contain up to 10mg per kg of thujone will be allowed by EU law.

US law will allow up to 10 parts per million of thujone in beverages.

After all, if Absinthe is safe it was labelled as dangerous and why was Absinthe banned? reasons Behind:-

- Mass hysteria – Absinthe was marked as dangerous as – cocaine and heroin.
- Wine producers apprehensive about their future in the market place.
- Unreliable testing and medical research.
Culture of Montmartre links to the Absinthe are ns and Bohemian.
- Prohibitionists looking for any excuse to ban alcoholic beverages.

Why Government banned Absinthe? Due to of a combination of political lobbying, lies, myths and misunderstandings.
