The Christiania Junk Blockadeda »Christianias junk blokade«
”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)
