None. One bottle for personal comsumption is considered okay. Absinthe is no longer hallucinogenic because they took out all the toxic chemicals they used to stretch the stuff with. Those are what made people see weird things.

- I know I've seen website where you could buy it with the highest legal amount of woodworm legally allowed, but the kind I get is just really alcoholic, but not at all hallucinogenic.

- There is not Thujone in it. Therefore it is not dangerous to consume. I cannot stand anise or fennel flavors so would not touch the stuff but have had it several times and it's no big thing. I've had martinis do me far more damage.

- Not sure what kind did you have, but the one I get definitelly gets me going like nothing else, it is 140 proof after all.

Yes, but not likely.

If it is real Absynthe, then yes, you could get in to legal trouble importing it (by Customs) or trying to sell it (by the FDA). But the FDA does not routinely prosecute.

Has anyone tried Lucid, the new, legalized absinthe now available here in the States? If so, where? They updated their website listing the states where it is now available, including my state Florida, yet no one knows where to find it. Do anyone know?
