The ban on Absinthe was a ploy by french liquor producer Pernod. Both Absinthe and Pernod are bitters, and Pernod was losing a market war with Absinthe. So they managed, through government corruption, to get Absinthe banned. Pernod sales rose afterwards.
Absinthe is not a drink that causes hallucination. It’s usually very strong, with alcoholic contents of more than 70 %; that in itself will cause mental effects.
