As I implied, the whole wormwood debate is highly questionable. I
would say 75% abv is much more likely to spark hallucinations than
thujone, favorite hobgoblin of absinthe freaks. Ask any DT veteran.

"For example, sage and sage oil (which can be up to 50% thujone) are
on the Food and Drug Administration's list of substances generally
recognized as safe."

If it tastes like anise, I'll drink it. If it tastes like licorice, I
won't. IOW, much ado about nothing.
