Lucid is an absinthe available for sale in the United States and is currently the only absinthe that can be sold legally. Produced in France for the Viridian Spirits Company of New York, it is made using traditional French methods. The recipe includes Grande Wormwood (Artemisia absinthium), along with green anise, sweet fennel, and other herbs and was concocted by T.A. Breaux, an absinthe expert and historian. Lucid is currently available in certain cities in New York State and online.
Lucid was approved by the FDA for consumption in the United States after a change in the margin of error that allows a thujone containing product to be considered thujone-free if it contains less than 10mg/l
