Wormwood can cause hallucinations at extremely high doses, but that isn't why it's in absinthe--it's a bittering agent. Wormwood never been illegal in the US--just absinthe, and that's a long story why, involving the wine lobby in France in the 1930s.

The effects of absinthe are mostly because it is traditionally extremely high proof--most come in at 120-140 proof--compare that to vodka which is typically 80-90. You're just getting drunker, faster.

The main difference between the absinthe of the 1920 and today is that the craft of distilling has greatly improved since then--you're actually drinking a better product.

TL;DR you ARE drinking real absinthe.
