Out of all the confusing laws set in various countries across the world, the most confusing country of all as far as the regulations for absinthe is concerned would be Canada. Absinthe was not actually banned in Canada but every province has its’ wishes. Every province consists of people speaking as to if they believe it should be allowed or not but legally it is allowed in Canada. Since absinthe was never banned in Canada, it’s ‘all game’ in the great north.
Shipping
Importing absinthe to Canada is also legal. This is true as long as you are importing the bottle(s) of absinthe for personal usage though. If you plan on distributing the absinthe in Canada and selling it retail at a store, bar, or wherever it is, that would be against the law.
You could get some of the finest original bottles of absinthe shipped straight from the home of absinthe – Europe. All of this, being a Canadian, would be free of legal hassle. The laws are clear but still fuzzy but for Canada, it’s safe for you to buy absinthe online and get it shipped to your house because it is not actually banned in Canada no matter what the thujone content level is. |
