Absinthe Now Legal in US? Sort of

Absinthe was illegal in the US for a long time (as long as I’ve been alive), and now all of a sudden, with very little warning…it is legal. How did this happen? Well, it’s not as good as it sounds, yes, absinthe is now legal in the US, but it is different from it’s overseas versions. It is without Thujone, the stuff that makes you hallucinate…the reason most people are drawn to this mysterious liquor. FDA apparently doesn’t like Thujone, and that is how the US importers can make money off a well known new liquor. I’m probably just as disappointed as you. Anyways, if you haven’t tried it, I always describe it to people as a green schnapps without as much sour punch. GreenDevil.com talks all about it if you are interested in reading more.
