Does anyone have any PERSONAL experience with this? I recently ordered two bottles of absinthe, and I'm curious to what effects other people have experienced.
I don't want any citings from Wikipedia, etc. please. Also no "I-knew-a-guy" types of stories. Please only answer if you yourself have had experience with absinthe!

I've drank ALOT of absinthe on a couple of occasions, and although I was wasted, I was not hallucinated, and I was actually drunk but not sloppy, I almost felt more efficient, believe it or not.

Does Absinthe Make You Hallucinate

No absinthe doesn't make you hallucinate. It has never made people hallucinate. Unlike some answers you may get it has never contained opium/thc/enter -drug-here.
It does give some people a more clear-headed drunk. Some feel it, some don't.
Yes I have drank absinthe.
Although I doubt this is the answer you are looking for since you want subjective personal experiences rather than accurate information from wikipedia or other similar sources.

Does absinthe really make you hallucinate, or is that just a myth?

Absinthe has not had the hallucinogenic ingredient in it since the early 1900. It was an opiate. My husband and I did a lot of research on the subject about 4 years ago. I got a hold of a bottle from the 60's, the alcohol content is high enough to make you feel as if you hallucinating but its only alcohol....The "man" takes the fun out of everything.
You don't want any a friend told me but we did find in our research that it "may" be possible to still get absinthe in southeastern Europe and southwestern Asia close to the Poppy fields that will still include the opiate although it is very illegal.

Yes, I studied in Rome for a semester and a classmate was expelled. After he drank a bottle he tried to kill one of my other classmates, at dinner, for no reason! He was laughing and talking then all of a sudden he was on the other side of the room on top of this guy, without any warning at all. He just tweaked and snapped. I don't think its like in Moulin Rouge, but I def. think it makes you interpret the world completely differently and make things up or something. In Hemmingway's The Sun Also Rises they drink a lot of Pernod, which is supposed to be kind of like Absinthe but I don't think hallucinogenic

the absinthe that you purchase in the US is not strong enough to make you hallucinate, but if you purchase it from Europe, yes it can make you hallucinate because it is full strength. I have had both kinds and yes it will mess with your head

I've had this before - I thought something major would happen but all I had was a deep burning sensation from the liquor and then that was it....I can hold my really drink well which is odd given that I don't drink a whole lot.

The effects of absinthe have been described by artists as mind-opening and even hallucinogenic and by prohibitionists as turning good people mad and desolate. Both are exaggerations. Sometimes called "secondary effects", the most commonly reported experience is a "clear-headed" feeling of inebriation - a "lucid drunk", said to be caused by the thujone. The placebo effect and individual reaction to the herbs make these secondary effects subjective and minor compared to the psychoactive effects of alcohol.
