Technically illegal in the U.S. - although not a controlled substance. The theory is that absinthe was made illegal in the 1900's because of poor processes which essentially poisoned people. Switzerland has just recently joined France, Germany, Spain, and Czechoslovakia in unbanning absinthe but within European guidelines (relaxed slightly for Germany for some reason - probably because they have the largest economy in Europe...)
