There's no law saying "absinthe is banned", there's a law saying "drink over x amount alcohol content are banned". Genuine absinthe falls into that category. Customs won't care if you bring back a bottle or two from holiday, but Londis won't have the real stuff sat behind the counter.
Yes, poisonous because of the wormwood, which causes hallucinations. But then alcohol is poisonous. That drunken feeling you get is the alcohol attacking your brain.
