another one?
Tricky but neither are actually illegal in most of the world
Absinthe is actually not illegal in the US. It is only illegal to import
into the country.
It's legality to sell within the US is actually not directly tied to
absinthe, but rather on the amount of thujone it possesses. Meet the
requirement[1] of less than 10mg per kg and you get to sell absinthe in the
US: http://www.drinklucid.com/
[1] which is actually a silly requirement as sage and other legal spices
contain more thujone than you'll ever find in absinthe...
Not to mention that you can buy Wormwood and wormwood extracts from pretty
much any herbalist in the country. The only reason the rule seems to
exist is for puritanical reasons, not health and safety. (Vicks Vap-O-Rub
has thujone in it!)
There are some Absinthes that should be illegal though. (Hills comes to
mind...)
