”In Copenhagen, the police hunt down junkies and cannabis dealers. At the same time, heroin is being introduced at a large scale in Denmark. This is clearly felt in Christiania, where the cannabis trade is growing and the number of junkies is increasing. Christiania tries to cooperate with the police to clean up the hash market for junk, but [it fails]. The Free Town community is now taking matters into its own hands and initiating programs for overcoming addiction for junkies and actions against the junk pushers. It culminates in 1979/80, when a blockade is carried out against junk. The junkies at Christiania get the offer to step down or move. The pushers with hard drugs are thrown out corporally.” (https://www.christiania.org/info/christianias-historie/)(Own translation) "I København driver politiet klapjagt på junkier og hashhandlere.

- Description
- en Text in the image: "“Sales of junk at Christiania have increased catastrophically!! It must be stopped now!!! Therefore, the residents of the free town have decided to block all known outlets of junk on Christiania. We know that the action puts junkies in an emergency situation – but we cannot help everyone overcoming their drug addiction. The number of Junkies is huge! – And CA's ‘Drug Overcoming Groups’ do not receive the financial support they need. Therefore, we can only treat the free town's own drug addicts. We also know that Copenhagen's Treatment Centers want to help – and we therefore demand that the municipality and the state live up to their financial and especially human responsibility – now. Support Christiania!!! Free the free town and the Junkie from hard drugs. Are you against junk too! – Then support the blockades – show up at Rockmaskinen, Fredens Ark.” (Own translation)
