Absinthe is actually not illegal in the US.  It is only illegal to 
import into the country.

It's legality to sell within the US is actually not directly tied to 
absinthe, but rather on the amount of thujone it possesses.  Meet the 
requirement[1] of less than 10mg per kg and you get to sell absinthe in 
the US: http://www.drinklucid.com/

[1] which is actually a silly requirement as sage and other legal spices 
contain more thujone than you'll ever find in absinthe...
