Absinthe was illegal in the U.S. from the early 20th century until recently. It is or has been illegal in a number of other countries. Absinthe became popular in France in the late 1800s during which time a serious root disease had devastated the French wine industry and little was available. However, when the wine industry recovered it had lost a large market share to absinthe. Wine producers then started a rumor that absinthe caused people be become crazy or deranged.

Absinthe was made illegal early in the 20th century. It had become highly popular in France, to the detriment of the wine industry. Therefore, wine producers there spread the rumor that consuming the distilled spirit drink would cause insanity. However, medical research has recently demonstrated that absinthe has no such effect and it is now legal in the U.S.
Where can you buy absinthe?
It is not legal to buy it in the US, but you can buy it elsewhere and bring it back - it is legal in many foreign countries. A friend of mine bought some in St. Maartin You can also buy absinthe online from other countries and ship it to the US. Be aware of websites which highlight high level of thuyone. Latest research is clear enough, high level of thujone has nothing to do with good absinthe. The only good absinthe is at least distilled one and contain anise. Sorry, it is legal to sell absinthe in the US. The ban was lifted on 2007. We have labeling requirements that differ from the rest of the world but it is available. If you try to bring it in to the US, it may be up to customs if you get to keep it.
