Nice article on Wormwood, however, the article has some incorrect information. Absinthe is not illegal in the U.S. It has been legal since 2007.

Wormwood isn’t illegal, and yes you can buy absinthe in the US but without the thujone, it’s in the article. Dr. Axes article covered all of this. I gathered he was trying ease our minds about using it medicinaly and educate on using it safely/properly.

I would consult with a qualified herbalist before taking Wormwood to ensure correct species, form, dose, compatabilities and contraindications. I’d want to know that I was not not doing myself harm and at the same time ensuring effectiveness.

I planted wormwood in my herb garden years ago from seed. I did this to deter “digging animals” from going into the garden. I now have a garden overrun with wormwood plants lol. I plan on harvesting them this year & storing them for future use.

Absinthe – not illegal in the US anymore.
You can buy it in California, Alpine Village in Torrance. They have like 3 different brands.
“In 2007, the Alcohol and Tabaco and Tax and Trade Bureau effectivelly lifted the long – standing ban…”

In reply to rpc2899. One thing I'd like to know is, You can ask 10 people about something and you'll get 10 different answers...so how do you know which one to believe?

Interesting article, where can we purchase the leaves for brewing and be assured that we aren’t exposed to the thujone oil? I’ve been taking and have heard excellent anti microbial benefits from Basil oil. Seems like this is not exact, but may be a safer alternative for some of us?

In reply to rpc2899. I wonder just who it was that proved "Absinthe has been proven to NOT be a hallucinogenic?? Many years ago I was in the US Air Force stationed in Greece where the licorice tasting OUZO is identical to absinthe. I and many other airmen can assure you that at a certain level of ingestion it is indeed hallucinogenic, not always pleasantly so.

Wormwood isn’t illegal, you can go buy it on Amazon in capsule or essential oil form. Absinthe isn’t illegal either, it was legalized in the US back in 2007.

Check Amazon for the capsules and oil. Read up on Absinthe in the US here: http://www.wormwoodsociety.org/

Then go down to your local liquor store as they may very well have Absinthe on the shelf. If it says Absinthe on the bottle, then it has to have wormwood in it. They call the anise flavored liqueur something else, but it is usually beside the Absinthe on the shelf. Absinthe has been proven to NOT be a hallucinogenic and is safe to drink and you can read up on the hysteria created back in the early 1900’s that survived up until 2007.

There are so many things wrong with this article I don’t know where to start, esp in regards to absinthe. As always, do your own research and don’t rely on someone else to spoon feed you information. Knowledge is power!
