It doesn't matter. There's no "cha cha cha effect" with absinthe no matter what the thujone level. The hallucinogenic effect is just myth and hype, not reality. Not to mention that the ones with the most reported thujone level taste like rotten bile or worse. It's a waste of money and effort to drink such a nasty concoction (which really isn't absinthe in the first place) for a mis-represented effect that's not going to happen in the first place.
If you want a GOOD absinthe that is high in quality and does everythig absinthe should, try anything among the French "Jade" lines or the Swiss "Clandestine" or in general, anything from here: http://www.absintheclassics.com/...
With the over-hyped Czech absinths (they don't spell it with the 'e') that pimp high thujone, you're not going to get anything other than the same buzz you'd get with 151 (and 151 is cheaper and easier to get) except you might get sick to your stomach from all the nasty added thujone.
