You can buy Absinthe in the US and Canada but it isn't true Absinthe. Wormwood, the active ingredient (actually Thujone the active ingredient in Wormwood), is highly regulated by most government liguor boards. The stuff available to buy in Canada is of the same strength as the stuff in the EU. But is completley illegal in the US.

According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection literature, "The importation of Absinthe and any other liquors or liqueurs that contain Artemisia absinthium is prohibited."[57] On the other hand, FDA regulations allow Artemisia species in foods or beverages, but those that contain Artemisia species, white cedar, oak moss, tansy or Yarrow, must be thujone free.[58] Other herbs that contain thujone have no restrictions. For example, sage and sage oil (which can be almost 50% thujone[47]) are on the FDA's list of substances generally recognized as safe.[59]

The prevailing consensus of interpretation of United States law and regulations among American absinthe connoisseurs is that it is probably legal to purchase such a product for personal use in the U.S. It is prohibited to sell items meant for human consumption which contain thujone derived from Artemisia species. (This derives from a Food and Drug Administration regulation, as opposed to a DEA regulation.) Customs regulations specifically forbid the importation of 'absinthe'. Absinthe can be and occasionally is seized by United States Customs if it appears to be for human consumption and can be seized inside the U.S. with a warrant.[60][61]

A faux-absinthe liquor called Absente, made with southern wormwood (Artemisia abrotanum) instead of grande wormwood (Artemisia absinthium), is sold legally in the United States and does not contain Grande Wormwood. This was the first US approval referring to "absinthe" on the front label; the front label says "Absinthe Refined" but the US Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) classified the product as Liqueur.

The real stuff is best found in the Czech Republic or in Switzerland.

Getting back onto topic - I wondered if the idea of seeing pink elephants was around before the film Dumbo? Dumbo was released in 1941 and a little research told me that it indeed turned up in the 1913 novel John Barleycorn, by Jack London:

"[He] is the man whom we all know, stupid, unimaginative, whose brain is bitten numbly by numb maggots; who walks generously with wide-spread, tentative legs, falls frequently in the gutter, and who sees, in the extremity of his ecstasy, blue mice and pink elephants. He is the type that gives rise to the jokes in the funny papers."

So there you go.

In other words, I can't help.  I guess that when people who have never hallucinated think of the strange things you might see, pink elephants seem very strange!
