Copenhagen Drugs
From:
Copenhagen, Denmark
ABOVE: Christiania on a damp
winter day.
Drugs (both hard and soft) are illegal in Denmark, but they're
certainly available--and according to Danes who have followed the issue,
crackdowns on hashish dealers in Christiania (see link below) have led to drug
sales and gang wars in other neighborhorhoods of Copenhagen.

Copenhagen trying to "hash out" pot issue
This report is from 2005, but it may provide insights into the current drug
situation in the Danish capital.
Café
Nemoland
At this café in Christiania (see below), roaches are likely to be found in ashtrays, not in
the kitchen.
Counterculture
Christiania.org
In 1970, young Danes broke into an abandoned military barracks complex and
turned it into a squatters' camp. Today, after 40 years of not always peaceful
coexistence with the government, Christiana struggles to maintain its role and
reputation as a
"free city" of hash dealers, political idealists, and aging hippies.
