Why is Absinthe illegal in the US?

Asked by thetmle (696points) December 31st, 2007

I went on a trip to Greece and Turkey this summer and it seemed that Absinthe was in every corner liquor store. Why is it illegal here in the US? I drank some with my friends and one shot had me plastered for about 5 hours! It’s been around for over a hundred years so why can’t we have it here?
