Is it illegal to buy it online? Will they ship to U.S.?

Absinthe made with regular Wormwood is obviously no longer available in the US but, A faux-absinthe liquor called Absente, made with southern wormwood (Artemisia abrotanum) instead of regular wormwood (Artemisia absinthium), is sold legally in the United States and does not contain thujone.
Here is a good article that should help you a lot.

Switzerland! It's legal again after being banned for a hundred years! Evidently some idiot back then killed his whole family after drinking a whole bottle and they outlawed it. Sounds like you have a Nevada connection in the U.S. though.
I like it, it tastes a bit like Ouzo to me

It is illegal in the united states. I had it in spain and it is overrated. Its thick and gooey and sweet and it messes with your eyes. absynthe addicts used go blind. its not a hallucagenic like mushrooms or anything. a friend of mine spent some time in the bar bathroom throwing it up after 3 drinks. i could barely get down 2 because it tastes awful.

You can get Pernod Absinthe in Canada. I work in the industry and we are going to use it for a function.
You could try europe or somewhere else.....
