I'm pretty sure that it was a tabloid scare of its time, and countries that didn't ban it didn't end up with the scary mindless people roaming the streets as predicted.

You may find the absinthe you can buy in the States doesn't contain the active ingredient anyway. I may poke about on the internet for you, but to be honest I'm not that interested myself - whatever's in it taste of aniseed and that puts it at the bottom of my things to drink list.

(yes I have had it - the story's around here somewhere)
