I've drunk absinthe several times. The last time was in November at at tasting of several different brands of absinthe in London, where it was never banned. My favorite was Pernod 68
Absinthe is an aniseed flavoured spirit that is clear until water is added to it, when it turns milky.
You need to add 6 to 9 times as much iced water to the absinthe. It is very strong alcoholically, but adding water dilutes the alcohol percentage as well as making the drink more palatable. Some drip the water through a sugar cube to sweeten the absinthe. Thats the traditional way to drink it, butI can't see anything wrong with adding Sprite or 7-Up or other mixer
Absinthe contains a number of herbs and spices, but the one that got it that reputation - most likely unfairly - is wormwood. Wormwood has an ingredient called thujone which has a structure similar to T.H.C. which is the active chemical in cannabis.
There is a tiny amount of wormwood - used for its bitter flavours - in Absinthe, and you'd have to drink an enormous amount of it to be affected. Bear in mind that absinthe has a very high alcohol content, around 70% alcohol (normal spirits are 40%), but that it is drunk with 6 -8 times as much water, thus diluting the alcohol and active ingredients.
However, it was made illegal in France and some other countries because of fear that people were made mad by absinthe. The stories about the effect of the wormwood content were over exagerated. But there was tremendous consumption of absinthe in France and people certainly drank too much.
What does it do? Same as any other spirit. It makes you drunk if you have too much of it. Does it make you high? Well, it didn't affect me. I think you'd have to drink so much of it that you'd be drunk from its high alcohol content first
Does it still have wormwood in it? Yes of course. Bear in mind it wasn't made illegal in all countries and even though France made absinthe illegal and thus Pernod made a wormwood free replacement drink known as Pastis, Pernod continued to make real absinthe for export.
I'm not a lawyer but the absinthe merchants say that it is only illegal to SELL absinthe in the US, but legal to buy and consume it, and so companies like eabsinthe.com ship personal orders to the US and guarantee refund if a consignment is lost or seized.
However, if you want to know what absinthe is like without buying it, go to any bar or pub and ask for a glass of Pernod or Ricard pastis. Pastis is the wormwood free replacement produced after absinthe was made illegal. These also have lower alcohol, so you add less water. The taste and look of pastis is the same as absinthe.

I've ordered from here many times. Check out their "Rituals" page and it'll tell you how to do it all. They also send you a print out of the Fire and Water rituals along with a small box of matches and a few sugar cubes with your order.
Drinking Absinthe is a different kind of intoxication. I can most closely describe it as a "clear-headed" drunk, you don't get they typical stumbling around and you can think clearly. A little like smoking pot and drinking at the same time.
