There are two types of absinthe out there. The real stuff and the stuff you can now buy in the US. The stuff you buy in the US is basically just regular booze, nothing more. The real stuff is made with Wormwood. Wormwood is a herb that is pretty bitter and has a very strong effect on you when you drink it.
The real absinthe that has wormwood will give you a high that is more like a high from pot whereas the absinthe you can now buy here in the US will just get you drunk.
Absinthe is nice, the stuff you buy in the store now is decent and tastes a lot better than the real stuff, but it is nothing like having the real thing.
