Would it be illegal to buy a bottle of absinthe over the internet and have it shipped to the US? Absinthe doesn't have any "effects" besides those who come naturally from it's alcoholic content, the whole hallucinogenic thing is just a ridiculous myth which is encouraged and kept alive by unscrupulous "absinth" vendors, especially from the czech republic, who sell low grade grain alcohol artificially coloured and flavoured at 100+dollars a bottle to, mainly, americans...
Absinthe is grape spirit DISTILLED together with up to 9 herbs in a very slow and complex process virtually impossible to reproduce by an amateur, although there are many who claim that by soaking wormwood in cheap vodka they "make absinthe", it's ridiculous and false, and the origin of the myth that absinthe tastes bad, real absinthe doesnt (the main characteristic of absinthe is precisely it's complex flavour), wormwood soaked in vodka does, it's horrible...
This said, I highly doubt it if those chocolats have real absinthe in them, they would cost a fortune if it was true because a good bottle of real absinthe is expensive.
And absinthe is not suppose to be appreciated mixed with other flavours, it's a waste of a great drink, it should be drank alwasy dilluted with ice cold water, 2 parts of water to one of absinthe minimum, and with nothing else, especially NOT with a flaming sugar cube, it ruins all the subtle flavours of absinthe, it's like buyng a great and expensive bottle of french red wine and then mix it with 7up...

Me, Absinthe Researcher and Drinker. it depends on the quality of the absinthe. If it is low concentration than you prolly wont get any effects from eating a little. They probably do not use absinthe that was made with wormwood, so you won't get hallucinogen effects...that kind of absinthe is banned in USA I think. For that you have to order a kid and make it ghetto by boiling some sort of alcohol and the wood....but candies? no.
Edit- Absinthe can have hallucinogenic effects...you cant have it sent to US already made that way and its mad expensive either way....the closest u can have is absinthe that will get u drunk and tastes like it. Even the one you brew yourself isn't as good as the original kind. I highly doubt the chocolate balls would have any effect. I've had a absinthe a couple times and I never felt anything beyond drunk. I do have a friend who purchased absinthe from a website and received it just fine... whether or not it's legal to import absinthe is another question (which I think it's not). No it doesn't. There isn't enough alcohol in the truffle to have any effect. The hallucinogenic effect is just myth. Absinthe is just a highly alcoholic drink that's flavored with anise and a number of other herbs. Among them is wormwood which is mistakenly believed to be hallucinogenic by virtue of containing thujone. The trippy qualities are just a bunch of hype by people who've never had it.
