    Is it really possible to order Absinthe off the net and have it shipped to the US?
    SOunds cool, but its damn expensive. Cheapest I found was $76

    huh if its the cheapest you can find dont bother. Use your $76 to fill you booze cab with nice stuff and make tasty cocktails.
    I don't see this stuff as especially superior to other spirits.
    ...actually its illegal to sell it in the US, but its not like its an illegal drug, so check if the guys would ship it, you can bring one from a trip though, as its not illegal in itself. Not worth the hassle anyway.

    You can buy a bottle in canada for around 50$ But if you're really interested in the psycadelic aspect of the thujon, make your own kits are the way to go.

    just wondering where in canada you can buy this? and is that 50$ cdn? you're sure this is real absinthe? as far as my research has led me to believe it's illegal in canada.

    Any LCBO sells it... But the thujone content is regulated. It's really low, you would pass out from the alcohol before feeling the effects of the thujone....
