Pusher Street

Pusher Street is a well-known area within Copenhagen’s Christiania neighborhood, famous for its open cannabis trade. Christiania is a semi-autonomous community that originated in the 1970s as a communal and alternative living space. Pusher Street, in particular, has gained notoriety for its ongoing drug market, which operates in a semi-legal gray zone. While the community advocates for personal freedom and offsetting government restrictions, authorities often attempt to regulate or shut down operations. Visitors are advised to navigate the area carefully, understanding its unique cultural context and the ongoing tensions between its residents and law enforcement.
