Yet according to the Wiki article you cite, or possibly the one on thujone, there's actually very little thujone in absinthe-- despite the claims of manufacturers to the contrary.
Even a bottle from the 1890's, which contained more thujone than bottles made in recent attempts to synthesize mixtures like that of 19th c. absinthe, only had a fairly small amount. I inferred from some things in the article that modern absinthe tends to have less thujone than that available during the heyday of absinthe.
How much does your absinthe claim to have?
