Legal status in Denmark
Per-substance legal status for Denmark, from sourced statutes where available. Legal information, not legal advice; drug laws change, so confirm with the destination’s embassy or drug authority before you travel.
Confirmed legal status
Cannabis / THC
- Legal status
- List A — possession/use/sale/cultivation criminal; small amount (≤~9.9 g) fixed fine ~DKK 2,000 (no court, still criminal + record); medical programme permanent since 1 Jan 2026
- Consequences if caught
- Cannabis is List A (the most restricted category, alongside heroin and LSD). Under the Euphoriant Substances Act (1955, as amended) and the 2016 Consolidated Act (which made possession itself illegal), possession, use, sale and cultivation are criminal. A personal-use small amount (up to about 9.9 g cannabis) draws a fixed fine (about DKK 2,000 / €70 first offence) via a simplified penalty notice with no court appearance — but it is still a criminal offence that leaves a record (a warning is possible for drug-dependent persons). Penalties run up to 2 years under the Euphoriants Act; serious or large-scale trafficking (e.g. 10 kg or more) falls under Criminal Code §191, up to 16 years. OUTDATED-REPUTATION WARNING: the Christiania/Pusher Street open cannabis market was DISMANTLED in April 2024 by residents and police — it is NOT a legal or tolerated market; buying there carries the same (or, in designated zones, doubled) penalties. There is no recreational legalization on the table.
- If prescribed / medical
- A medical cannabis programme has been PERMANENT since 1 January 2026 (prescription, licensed pharmacies); CBD ≤0.2% THC sits outside the euphoriant rules but is often regulated as a medicine.

- Cannabis is List A (the most restricted category, alongside heroin and LSD). Possession and use are criminal; a small personal amount (up to ~9.9 g cannabis) draws a fixed fine (~DKK 2,000 / €70 first offence) via a simplified penalty notice with no court, but it remains a criminal offence that leaves a record (a warning is possible for drug-dependent persons). Penalties run up to 2 years under the Euphoriants Act; serious/large-scale trafficking (e.g. ≥10 kg) under Criminal Code §191, up to 16 years. A medical cannabis programme has been PERMANENT since 1 January 2026 (prescription, licensed pharmacies); CBD ≤0.2% THC sits outside the euphoriant rules but is often regulated as a medicine. OUTDATED-REPUTATION WARNING: the Christiania/Pusher Street open cannabis market was DISMANTLED in April 2024 — it is NOT a legal or tolerated market, and buying there carries the same (or, in designated zones, doubled) penalties. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.

- Cannabis is List A (the most restricted category, alongside heroin and LSD). Possession and use are criminal; a small personal amount (up to ~9.9 g cannabis) draws a fixed fine (~DKK 2,000 / €70 first offence) via a simplified penalty notice with no court, but it remains a criminal offence that leaves a record (a warning is possible for drug-dependent persons). Penalties run up to 2 years under the Euphoriants Act; serious/large-scale trafficking (e.g. ≥10 kg) under Criminal Code §191, up to 16 years. A medical cannabis programme has been PERMANENT since 1 January 2026 (prescription, licensed pharmacies); CBD ≤0.2% THC sits outside the euphoriant rules but is often regulated as a medicine. OUTDATED-REPUTATION WARNING: the Christiania/Pusher Street open cannabis market was DISMANTLED in April 2024 — it is NOT a legal or tolerated market, and buying there carries the same (or, in designated zones, doubled) penalties.

- Cannabis is List A (the most restricted category, alongside heroin and LSD). Possession and use are criminal; a small personal amount (up to ~9.9 g cannabis) draws a fixed fine (~DKK 2,000 / €70 first offence) via a simplified penalty notice with no court, but it remains a criminal offence that leaves a record (a warning is possible for drug-dependent persons). Penalties run up to 2 years under the Euphoriants Act; serious/large-scale trafficking (e.g. ≥10 kg) under Criminal Code §191, up to 16 years. A medical cannabis programme has been PERMANENT since 1 January 2026 (prescription, licensed pharmacies); CBD ≤0.2% THC sits outside the euphoriant rules but is often regulated as a medicine. OUTDATED-REPUTATION WARNING: the Christiania/Pusher Street open cannabis market was DISMANTLED in April 2024 — it is NOT a legal or tolerated market, and buying there carries the same (or, in designated zones, doubled) penalties. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.

- Cannabis is List A (the most restricted category, alongside heroin and LSD). Possession and use are criminal; a small personal amount (up to ~9.9 g cannabis) draws a fixed fine (~DKK 2,000 / €70 first offence) via a simplified penalty notice with no court, but it remains a criminal offence that leaves a record (a warning is possible for drug-dependent persons). Penalties run up to 2 years under the Euphoriants Act; serious/large-scale trafficking (e.g. ≥10 kg) under Criminal Code §191, up to 16 years. A medical cannabis programme has been PERMANENT since 1 January 2026 (prescription, licensed pharmacies); CBD ≤0.2% THC sits outside the euphoriant rules but is often regulated as a medicine. OUTDATED-REPUTATION WARNING: the Christiania/Pusher Street open cannabis market was DISMANTLED in April 2024 — it is NOT a legal or tolerated market, and buying there carries the same (or, in designated zones, doubled) penalties. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.

- Documentation
- Cannabis is List A (the most restricted category, alongside heroin and LSD). Possession and use are criminal; a small personal amount (up to ~9.9 g cannabis) draws a fixed fine (~DKK 2,000 / €70 first offence) via a simplified penalty notice with no court, but it remains a criminal offence that leaves a record (a warning is possible for drug-dependent persons). Penalties run up to 2 years under the Euphoriants Act; serious/large-scale trafficking (e.g. ≥10 kg) under Criminal Code §191, up to 16 years. A medical cannabis programme has been PERMANENT since 1 January 2026 (prescription, licensed pharmacies); CBD ≤0.2% THC sits outside the euphoriant rules but is often regulated as a medicine. OUTDATED-REPUTATION WARNING: the Christiania/Pusher Street open cannabis market was DISMANTLED in April 2024 — it is NOT a legal or tolerated market, and buying there carries the same (or, in designated zones, doubled) penalties. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.
