I beg to differ. In my experience, the real stuff gives you a bit different 'high' than does straight alcohol. No visual hallucination, just a mild but profound relaxant. Yes, there is a lot of hype. However, to say that there is no difference from any other liquor just does not jibe with my experience at all.
