Despite what others may tell you it is completely LEGAL to import Absinthe into this country. You cannot buy it in this country (with the exception of some underground bars) but you can import it from other countries. Check out www.absinthe.bz this is where my husband and I order it from. It can take about 2 weeks to get here but it is worth it. Try King of Spirits Gold (the strongest that we have had, what a great trip!). Good luck and Blessed Be. V-

Mordent claims that Absinthe no longer contains hallucinogens. I am not sure about this. Absinthe was originally made from the plant Wormwood, Artemesia Absinthium, hence the name. It caused serious damage to the central nervous system, and was therefore banned. I'd be careful before I ingested anything questionable that might affect my quality of life for the rest of my life.

The classic absinthe made with wormwood is still illegal. Made without wormwood it is permitted, and as one of the other answerers states available in many states of the USA and some Canadian provinces.

If its not legal, hide in in a cleaned out hairspray bottle. This is also works great if you want to save some money at the bar :) Even if it's checked, its going to spell like alcohol anyway.

You can buy absynth in some states in america, but it was made illegal early in the 20th century, and probably still is now in most states. There's nothing special about it, it's just alcohol now - there's no hallucinagens in it any more.

No. I have known it to be done, but if you get caught, you'll get in a lot of trouble because it's illegal here.
