    You can buy Absinthe online and have it shipped to the United States. But be careful, a lot of online sites try to rip you off. I heard of a site called http://www.absinthemarket.com/ they only offer good absinthe brands. They also have fast and cheap shipping to the United States. I think they ship to the US for $10. You can buy a good bottle of absinthe for as little as $28 there. I had the Mata Hari before, it was really good.

    You can't buy real absinthe anymore b/c it has been banned by most countries in the modern world due to the health risk involved with the wormwood that was used in it. There are several close imitations out there, but I doubt they'll have the same effect. Like anything else though I bet if you looked on the black market in like Czech or another European country i am sure you could possibly find the real stuff.

    No, but you can buy Pernod and Pastis in the US and they are very close to Absinthe. Absinthe is a narcotic but it has a terrible effect and makes people have seizures and go crazy. Most governments outlawed absinthe in the early 1900's the French came up with Pernod as a substitute

    You can order it online. Not sure about the US but you can buy it in the bottle shops in Australia. La Fe Bohemian Absinth is the best.

    You can still buy Absinthe in Australia and England. Try "virginalcohol.com" for shipper.

    I have seen it online. It cannot be legally sold in the US. There is a product called Absente that is availible in liquor stores. Does not contain the illegal hallucinagenic but it works. I have had it.
