"In short, you can sell absinthe in America under two conditions: one, that your product contains less than 10 parts per million thujone"

Yup..it's "thujone free" just like the old stuff!!! Give me a break...evenTed Breaux used to say different:

"Using every bit of information I’ve processed over the past seven years, my calculations indicate that quality original Pontarlier labels contained anywhere from 50-100mg/kg total thujone. I do agree that I feel that thujone is not the only player in the secondary effects, although I’m convinced it plays an important role. I also have some evidence that indicates that the presence of other essences and even manufacturing methods is influential.T.A. Breaux"

So why did he change his mind? You can get real "100mg thujone" absinthe in Europe online of course if you know where to look.
