Copenhagen's Christiania residents demolish "Pusher Street" in bid to end drug trade. Residents and guests tore paving stones out of the ground in spring-like weather.
Police also removed the cannabis outlets that had been set up on the street. In 1971, a group of hippies founded the “Freistadt Christiania” in a former barracks in the municipality. About half a million tourists visit Christiania every year. In the state-tolerated autonomous community, its own laws and rules apply.
