I think it's legal now, wormwood and all.
I remember buying an expensive bottle with a few of my friends. Making sure we made sure it was the stuff with wormwood, it is a very different drunk than other alcohol. Hard to describe it but I felt a lot more "floatier" if that makes sense. Never hallucinated though. A friend claimed that she thought the room was full of water but she is often full of shit. Given the cost of the stuff, I was only able to get drunk off of it twice, never tripping out the entire time.
Don't buy it.
