Here in New Zealand you can buy it? I don't know if it's banned overseas or not. You can also buy the original recipe stuff from a guy in france. at $US100 im keen to try it out.
Is it banned in your country?

Absinthe is an erroneously maligned spirit that remains banned in the United States due to unyielding ignorance and paranoia. A century ago absinthe was thought to cause deleterious psychological effects but this has been proven false. It was thought that a chemical in absinthe called thujone, (which emanates from the wormwood plant used to make traditional absinthe), produced hallucinations. Not only was this found to be a misnomer, the amount in absinthe is minimal.

It is legal in the UK. I have a bottle upstairs, I've only had about 2 drinks of it so far but I felt no effects at all. It's nice with lemonade!

French artists in the 19th. century halucinated from it.
It's no longer being made or sold nowadays, anywhere at any price.

I brought some, got drunk from it and it messed up my stomach, if you have acid reflex do not drink this.
