Default Re: Looking for abinsthe.

Huh?

Any absinthe you're going to find on the internet has thujone in it. Around the turn of the century there was a Europe-wide limit on how much thujone you could put in. Any "real" absinthe with pre-1900ish level thujone is either going to literally be 100 years old and cost you a boatload of money, or is going to be some serious black market [censored]

Maybe Im confused, but anytime I have seen a bottle of Absinthe in the US, it was made without wormwood.

Price
Absinthe containing thujone is difficult to find for sale inside the United States, but is available from suppliers in other countries, many of whom are willing to ship into the U.S. Prices depend on the brand and the thujone content, and can range from $10 a bottle to over $200 per bottle.


Law
Absinthe containing thujone is illegal to sell for human consumption in the United States. Some brands of absinthe are sold in the U.S. which contain no thujone and other absinthes are imported into the U.S. despite FDA regulations. It is not illegal to possess Absinthe, even if it contains thujone.
