Absinthe is not legal in the US. But on the bright side, it's not too hard to concoct. Start with Pernod, which is pretty much absinthe without the wormwood. Next, get wormwood. You may be able to purchase this at a New Age or occult shop. Grind about an ounce into powder and put into a 750 of Pernod. Wait a week, and strain. Traditionally served by drizzling over a sugar cube into chilled water, because wormwood is bitter as all get out.and not even Pernod can mask it. Now, the disclaimer. Absinthe is banned because it can potentially cause kidney damage if consumed in large quantities. Yes, it's mildly hallucinogenic, but don't think more is better. 2-3 ounces of the above is about the max you want to consume at a time. DO NOT get s**tfaced on this stuff, you can do yourself some serious and permanent damage. As they say, enjoy responsibly.

Not legal in US. But you can probably order it online from the Czech Republic. It's worth a try. You do run the risk of the US Customs seizing it, but that's unlikely since they don't search most things, and I don't think you would be legally responsible, only the sender is. Check the laws, I think it is definitely worth a try. I've never had it, a friend has when in Prague, so I don't know, but it must be good stuff.

Not legal in US. Not advisable to order now, since the bomb threat in UK has raise securities levels. Wait for a while until things cool down.

It is not legal here. There is a knock off brand that sells it without the opiates.

Horrible stuff.... never EVER EVER have more than 2 shots of it. Actually, just don't have any of it at all.
