WHICH IS CORRECT. although it has a similar chemical makeup to marijuana, it does not affect the same brain receptors...it actually inhibits the GABA receptors which causes death but small amounts(i.e. wormwood, sage) will create a "lucid" state(which helps in memory and may help alzheimers but not tested yet). However, no answers on how it makes you hallucinate so I'm starting to think wikipedia is correct; if so, then what exactly DOES. From what I read so far, it looks like everyone who tripped on ABSINTHE was chemically embalanced to begin with. Then I went to Erowid.org and read on a boy who smoked it and had the same elf/fairy hallucinations of those who drink it....so what do you think? Do you have any facts that can help? I hope it's not a hallucinogen! i wouldnt always go by what wikkipedia says. any person can put information on that site so it may not be always hold true.
