Maybe you already know this, but according to the source listed below, the EU caps thujone content at 10ppm in absinthe.
Now, it's probably true that the absinthe of the 19th century was much stronger, but it's also true that cheap absinthes contained all sorts of nasty stuff. (Think antifreeze, but worse.) It's quite likely that the reason people like van Gogh were seeing things had more to do with the antifreeze than the thujone!
You already know that modern absinthe doesn't make you hallucinate. You feel a little jumpy, a little jazzed, but that's about it. An Irish Coffee would do the same thing and taste a lot better, in my opinion.

It was my understanding that the hallucinogenic Absinthe was illegal in the US and in most countries because of the degenerative effect it has on the brain and it's tendency to become addictive. A great many people went mad and/or died because of its effects which is why it was outlawed.
As far as I know the absinthe that is widely available now, is not hallucinogenic and if you do find it, it's inadvisable to drink it.
