Is absinthe now legal in the US?

Question: Heard a bar in New york and SanFransisco now serve absinthe and is able for purchase. Is this true? What does it taste like and what drinks are made with it???

Answer: Yes. Two absinthe liquors -- Lucid and Kubler -- have been approved for sale in the United States with more to come to the market. Absinthe is highly regulated though. Absinthe contains the chemical thujone, which can be addictive and cause hallucinations. The absinthe now available in the United States is tested and must pass with a small margin of error. So, absinthe in the US is not as strong as it may be overseas.
