Christiania is one of my favorite micro-countries because he gives Denmark an odd responsibility to stop being a drunk pothead like we always know him to be, and be a father.
Marihuana IS mostly harmless. Mostly, that does not mean you can let your kids smoke it, or do it while you're pregnant. If you smoke it while your brain is still developing, it might lead to memory loss and other lasting psychological effects. Should probably hold of on it until you're 25. Only reason we freak out about it is that Nixon thought it was an easy way to bully hippies and blacks by cracking down on marihuana and cocain (which actually is dangerous, crack is whack, kids)
Denmark: SON, why do you smell like weed?!
Christiana: How do you know WEED smells like that?!!
Denmark: I-
Christiana: EEYY!!! BUSTED, DAD!! YOU'RE GROUNDED FOR A WEEK!!
I've been there in the late summer, it is a wonderful place, but you have to look out indeed.
I wasn't there for the drugs though (maybe not very convincing as a Dutch person), but it is one of those places you really should visit as a foreigner to get a good feel (or different feel) of Denmark. i love to go to the "not typical tourist" places!
Marijuana is less dangerous than a normal cigarette in that it won't cause as much lung problems, but you can become paranoid from it.
This is my 420th comment. It's amazing how it is about weed.
