Absinthe recently became legal again in the United States, but in the low strength that it was originally created at, not the super-strong versions that have been created in Europe and other areas. I believe that one compound was eliminated, but other than that it's the same. It would probably be pretty expensive and hard to find, but it's legal as of Summer 2007.
Absinthe is available on the U.S. market but what is sold in the USA is strickly regulated and contains only trace amounts of thujone a chemical found in the herb wormwood and the alcohol content is usually in the 80-100 Proof range....This is far from the original Absinthe made ages ago...The original Absinthe contained higher amounts of the chemical thujone depending on the distiller and the alcohol content ranged from 190-200 proof....In Victorian times the drug laudanum (oral morphine) which was a common vice at the time was added to Absinthe by certain distillers to improeve its overall affects...Which also added to absinthes addictive properties....
Yes absinthe is sold in Washington liquor stores. But the hallucinegenic properties are not nearly as strong as the absinthe sold in Europe.
yes
Yes, absinthe is legal in Alabama. The ban on absinthe was lifted in the United States in 2007, allowing its production and sale as long as it meets FDA guidelines for thujone levels.

It is legal to water ski in Washington state from one hour before sunrise to one hour after sundown.
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.
