A small amount for yourself
A fine. For a first time with less than 10 g of hash or 50 g of herb, prosecutors' guidelines start around DKK 2,000, more for each new time. The cannabis is always taken.

Illegal, from the first gram
Cannabis is illegal in Denmark. Small amounts for yourself usually end in a fine, but every amount counts. This is what applies in Copenhagen, as in the whole country.
More than that
The fine rises with the amount. From about 100 g of hash, the fine scale ends and prison begins.
Selling or passing it on
A criminal offence, usually with prison, even for small deals. Serious cases fall under the criminal code (section 191).
Driving
Driving with THC in your blood is an offence, with a fine and loss of licence. Traces can stay for days or weeks after you feel sober.
Growing plants
Illegal too. Plants are weighed and fined like cannabis; larger grows mean prison.
Medical cannabis
Doctors can prescribe it: the medical cannabis scheme became permanent on 1 January 2026.
HHC and similar semi-synthetic products have been banned since May 2023 and are treated like hash.

Look after yourself
Help and harm reduction
- Never drive or ride an e-scooter after using: traces stay long after the high.
- Avoid HHC and unknown vapes: they are illegal and often stronger than you think.
- Don't mix with alcohol: the effects add up.
- In Denmark, help for drug use is free, and you can ask for it anonymously.
