- Cannabis has never been legal in Denmark — Christiania was a tolerated grey zone, not legal retail.
- Knife-carry rules are strict: any blade in public without a specific lawful reason can lead to fines or short custodial sentences.
JURISDICTION NOTES
- Christiania's Pusher Street tolerance ended in 2024 after the residents themselves dismantled it — open sales now lead to arrests.
- Greenland and the Faroe Islands operate separate legal regimes under the Danish realm, with their own alcohol and drug rules.
