Good grief--really? You're comparing herbs to DRUGS as BEING dangerously toxic?? They aren't at all most of them. DRUGS however are ALWAYS toxic. How many people DIE because of drugs, even 'properly' prescribed? Are you really this much of an idiot??
Absinthe is concentrated alcohol with Wormwood . If you drink yourself under the table with it, yes it can kill you, but then so can alcohol all by it's self.
I only heard of 1 or two people dying of it though. If you take Dr. Clark's recommended dose, not at all likely.
Quit with all the hype and fear mongering. Drugs are invented by men with a profit agenda. Herbs are part of our world, and unless you use them improperly (aka like an idiot) you'll be fine.
