Denmark

Cannabis laws in Denmark follow Denmark’s national law. Cannabis enforcement and penalties are governed by jurisdiction law, not city-specific rules in most cases.

Recreational cannabis is illegal under the law. Medical cannabis is available by prescription. In practice, enforcement may be more lenient in certain areas such as Freetown Christiania, but legal risk still exists.
