    maybe i will quick question is absinthe legal up there?
    for those of you that dont know absinthe is a very tasty tasty alcoholic beverage. that was outlawed because winery's feared the competition during the temperance movement. the EU recently legalized its sale again, the US should too. perhaps i should have put that in my email too.lol

    anyway i did my part

    Absinthe is not illegal in the US as a whole, only in *most* states. We can get it here in NV, along with everything else ;) I jumped out of a 2-story window once after drinking 3/4 a bottle of that stuff in my "younger years" ::)

    thats are crappy laws for you. its illegal to sell in the united states, not own and i guess make.
    atleast that what all the internet sites tell me i look to buy from
    there is a rip off absinthe going around lucid. which is legal to sell because it has no thujone. the guy that made it actually moved to france and bought a distillery to make real classic absinthe.
