As cultivation can be difficult, it is rarely commercially grown and therefore almost impossible to find on the market. It offers a unique opportunity for exploration and experimentation. Here is the link Joe mentions as worthwhile rese...

    Had a shot of absenth in 2001 while in Germany. Definitly felt different while drinking that night. Nothing crazy, only had one shot, but definitely felt different. Didn't know anything about it. Seems like we put sugar in, lit it on fire for a few seconds, blew it out and then shot it back. I think I remember a spoon with sugar. I don't know. Can't remember exact details. I think it had something to do with the toxins. Not sure if it did anything. They got it from Czech. I'm currently growing Artemisia absinthium for its medicinal benefits.

    I'm over 70 and started having prostate problems over 3 years ago. At times I've been getting up 8 times with very bad sleep. I went to the doctor and he prescribed Tamsulosin hydrochloride which is cheap but thank god I read the fine print since I was scheduled for cataract surgery and my ophthalmologist told me to get off it as it can affect the healing process. So I was on it for about 6 days. Cataract surgery went well two months later. Then in early spring I began the prescribed medication. Did nothing! Couldn't sleep and since the prostate problems began that has more or less been the case. In late Spring I was in Hungary with my wife and she went to a dispensary in her hometown (Miskolc) where she was born and bought hoary willowherb tea for $5 and over a month's supply (!) from a shop which specializes in herbs for healing. The guy who originally opened the shop lived to over 100 and was never seriously ill. His daughter carries on the tradition. Believe me I am very sceptical of claims but within a few days I started to sleep well and only got up once. I'm also dreaming which I really haven't done that much over those past 3 years. Since then I have had a sense of well being which I can't really describe ... but I am truly astonished at the results. Don't think my doctor would believe me! One level tablespoon per cup and I sip only one cup during the day ... and mostly at night before bedtime as the problem was always at night and not during the day. I have zero urinary pain.

    I now realize why I'm single because the man of my dreams has passed away, but as a single older woman,I've been trying to do this life style ,seen a video where he said" I wouldn't have been able to do this if I had a 9-5 job" so true.. but I'm working on quitting so I can devote all of my energy to living a much cleaner and self sustainable life like I believe God intended. May he rest in peace.

    I understand creeping bellflower has some edible and medicinal value, but NIMBY!!! It is the most evil and difficult to remove of all the undesirable invasives that can take over your garden. Nothing else grows in their presence, they do not play well with other plants. Those taproots can go 1' deep and must be found and removed to eliminate this most perisitant pest. I am finally winning the battle removing them from the row of raspberries and a couple other spots. It is a listed invasive in the State of Wisconsin, a real nuisance here along the lines of garlic mustard and purple loosestrife.

    I love your philosophy of living with the land and community living but when it comes to God Jesus is the only way to the one and only God! I pray that you seek Jesus and forgiveness and give your life to God before its to late. You seem to be a very knowledgeable man and I hope the best for the rest of your life. ❤
