But a bunch of European countries did indeed ban it at that time.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the correction.CNDhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05349466286549537039[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37623912.post-31007735541617896662007-04-14T04:41:00.000-04:002007-04-14T04:41:00.000-04:00Absinthe was not banned "throughout Europe" at the beginning of the 20th century. It was never banned at all in the UK, Denmark, Sweden, Spain and Portugal amongst other countries. It has been continually made and sold without interruption from the 19th century to the present day in Spain and Portugal.<BR/><BR/>You'll find more information on thujone, including copies or abstracts of all relevant scientific literature at www.thujone.info. You'll find detailed infrmation on the history and lore of absinthe at The Virtual Absinthe Museum, at www.oxygenee.com.Oxygeneewww.oxygenee.com[email protected]
