Supposedly the nasty component is absent from this new absinthe. Maybe, maybe not.

More like the nasty component was never there to begin with. Odds are, if it's from the Czech Republic, or if it hypes the thujone content anywhere on the bottle, it's crap. Stay away from it.
I ordered a bottle of the Kübler 53 and it's darn near gone. It's good stuff.
If you're looking into it, check the reviews at The Absinthe Buyer's Guide at www.feeverte.net or the nice folks at The American Wormwood Society.
Several French/Swiss brands are in the process of gov't approval, one American distillary unveils its absinthe tomorrow and, I understand, three or four U.S. makers will be bringing their own brands to market in the coming months.

To: uglybiker
for its supposedly hallucinogenic effects
Watch Anthony Bourdain's "No Reservations" Paris episode where they get a hold of some older Absinthe. He starts to hallucinate like crazy.

I’ve swallowed a lot of Jim Beam Black and I’ve never seen what Bourdain did; in that capacity.

It’s different in that you’ll probably never see it on sale at Safeway.
To: weegee
It only takes half a bottle of jagermeister to arrive at the same result.I've always said that Jagermeister is a drug mixed with alcohol...same with Sambuca. Stay away from that licorice stuff...
But knowing me I'll try anything once.
