Cannabis in Denmark
Cannabis in Denmark is illegal for recreational use, but certain cannabis derivatives are allowed for medical use by prescription.
Cannabis sale and use, while illegal, has been periodically unofficially tolerated in the Copenhagen neighborhood of Freetown Christiania, but the neighborhood moved to restrict the cannabis trade following a 2016 shooting.
The punishment for small amounts (up to 9.9 g or 0.35 oz) for personal use is typically a fine. In certain cases such as socially vulnerable people, a warning can be given instead of a fine. Larger quantities (more than 100 grams or 3.5 ounces) generally results in a prison sentence.Driving under the influence of cannabis is illegal and all but the smallest amounts of THC in a blood sample results in a fine and loss of the driver's license (conditional or unconditional).
Despite its illegal status, a report by the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (2015) shows that slightly more than 1⁄3 of adult Danes have tried cannabis at some point in their life, which is above the European average where only France is positioned higher. Based on the same study, less than 7% have used cannabis in the last year, which also is above European average, but almost the same as Finland and the United Kingdom, and below the Czech Republic, France, Italy, the Netherlands and Spain.
