Looks like it’s not illegal to imbibe in Absinthe anymore in the US at least in the near future.
It’s highly concentrated alcohol, with a smattering of thujone, it was once banned in most states for it’s hallucinagenic and psychotic properties.
Now hurry up and Google thujone!
I’ll wait 
I prefer to Wiki:
For many years thujone was thought to act on the cannabinoid receptors similar to THC based on studies that only looked at the molecules’ shapes.[1] This is known to be false today and studies show thujone does not activate these receptors.[2] Thujone is a GABAA receptor antagonist.[3] By inhibiting GABA receptor activation neurons may fire more easily which can cause muscle spasms and convulsions.[4]
In conclusion: use with care (O..o)
