What are you drinking?

That sounds delicious!
Actually not as I expected. The fact is that if you put ginseng root in this bottle of vodka, it will become cloudy, like milk, because this root has a lot of juice, which is under natural pressure in it. The Chinese dig this root for several hours so as not to damage even the thinnest hair, otherwise everything will leak. I think that the juice was first removed from this root for medical or perfume purposes, and the root was laid more for beauty and marketing. The best vodka I tried, and which I really liked, was Czech-made vodka with hemp seeds. The taste was slightly buttery, unusual and pleasant. In the head, he strikes also unusual. And even one shot is enough to fly into the astral plane.

It's interesting there would be any psychoactive properties if;

a) it's made from hemp which has very little THC.

b) it's made from the seeds which have even less THC.

I can totally understand the "buttery" quality since hemp seeds have a high oil content, no pun intended.

If it's made from cannabis, especially Sativa, that's a elephant of a different color. 😀

I worked a lot on business trips around the country. And I visited many food and alcohol factories, as our company supplied electrical equipment for substations. I managed to compare the taste of Stolichnaya vodka from one holding company, but two different factories. One plant in Vladimir (an old Russian city) is located in the central part of Russia, and the other - at the Ussuri balsam plant, in Ussuriysk, in the Far East. The taste is completely different! Vodka from central Russia is much milder and better. I think that in the Far East they used raw materials from China, and perhaps ginseng is also Chinese. So my receptors haven't let me down yet. Of course, the seeds in Czech vodka are also probably more suitable for marketing, but the taste is really buttery and hemp, and it still works differently. Czechs also produce absinthe, but no one dares dispute the fact that absinthe is intoxicating much more than plain vodka, but Absinthe is much more unpleasant in taste. There is no hemp in Absinthe at all. By the way, in the USA they also produce excellent vodka for my taste, it is absolutely neutral, like good water. I think it’s even better than Stolichnaya - this is SKYY vodka.

My wife worked in one of the petro-chemical plants, where they produced plastic. IN another department 'neft' was successivley distilled and one of the end products was chemical spirit (C2H6O). The workers used to mix this alcohole with lemonade (or whatever) and drink it. It was locally called Zjadim.
Gorbachev is a criminal who introduced a ban on alcohol. I hope that this Nobel laureate still has time to get under the tribunal. Now, probably, it would never occur to anyone to drink technical alcohol when there are 100 kinds of vodka in the store.
 
In the same place where we had our small factory (old LOMO warehouse East of SPb) were a storage for various stuff, among them Vodka Simbirskaya. We could buy bottles cheaply and that one was pretty good.

In the "old" time I always tried to get the
