Dear Ghoulfriend,
I drank a huge quantity of Absinthe and died from an overdose of Thujone. What the hell is Thujone, anyway? Anyways, now I'm a League member and I can't drink Absinthe anymore. What should I do with the rest of the bottles I bought?
-Dead and all messed up
Dear Dead,
Thujone is derived from wormwood leaves used in the preparation of Absinthe, and it has a similar chemical structure to THC. At the height of its popularity, Absinthe was believed to enhance creativity and expand the consciousness, which led to its popularity with artists, writers, and poets. The League of the Living Dead heartily endorses its use as it leads to more dues-paying members. It has many harmful side effects which include delirium, paralysis, convulsions, brain damage, renal failure and death. It appears you suffered the last side effect, and good for you! We here at The League love Absinthe because people are typically really stupid and drink far too much of it. As with any controlled substance, a little goes a long way. Thrill seekers of all ages tend to disregard the warnings that most intelligent people heed, and we like that. After all, thrill seekers make the most fearsome hunters once they join us, and that benefits us all!
I recommend that you use the leftover bottles as a drain cleaner or to repel moths from your winter woolens.
Love,
Ghoulfriend
