Here’s the Wikipedia article on it, on the history and current status of Absinthe. It’s basically been illegal to manufacture or import it since the early part of the twentieth century in the U.S. but I only just learned, it has become legal, has been legal in the U.S. since 2007.
Here’s one of the U.S. brands:
Is this really absinthe? Is it the absinthe of Baudlaire and Verlaine and Rimbaud and Van Gogh?
Is it safe to drink?
Were the psychoative properties and dangers of absinthe overblown to begin with?
If you’ve tried it what has been your experience?
