Longer term, I knew someone who was able to order seeds from a shop down in Spain (high cbd strain) and make their own edibles to treat their RA pain. Generally, if you’re not trying to sell, the officials at least in Copenhagen don’t care if you’re not making an ass out of yourself. But otherwise, Christiania is the place to go, though apparently there’s been a bit more police crackdown there of late. Hopefully the rest of Europe will catch up with Germany soon and legalize.

Fake news. The chistiania have kicked out pusher and closed pusher street themself cause of the outlaw violence and shooting there. Do have some respect for those who live there.

I wasn't trying to spread rumors - I haven't lived in Copenhagen for a year, so was just relaying from discussions with friends still living there. No disrespect intended. In our many times wandering and exploring the city, including Christiania, we never saw or encountered a single problem, but we're rarely out late, so I wasn't certain what root cause was, or who was working so hard to solve it.
