I had a friend bring back many bottles of absinthe from eastern europe. I drank alot of it too, didnt see shit but got you really fucking drunk. Absinthe did make you see things back in the day but was banned because it made some french dude kill his family. It was banned in parts of europe for a little while but brought back when the wormwood concentration was lowered significantly. I did some research when i drank it, was worried about halucinating.
