Absinthe - WTF?

[Buzz-cp]

I was just reading about this, and evidently it's some old time crazy drink that supposedly resulted in hallucinations, and/or crazy behavior (ca. 1900) So I guess people are getting into again, or it has some sub-culture thing going? It appears to have a very large "I drink this [censored] because I am so [censored] pretentious" factor. Also it evidently has been banned because of it's "thujone" content, lol. What is thujone? Apparently, it's no big deal, just old baggage from bad data. Part of me is curious to try this, but I very much doubt it gives hallucinations.

If anyone drinks this, please report and advise. A couple links:

buy your own? lol
