@ TwoCanucks..firstly I am sorry to hear that you will not be there for November :( .. was hoping / looking forward to meeting you and Mrs. TwoCanucks :wink:
secondly .. many thanks for the offer .. now I do not know where in Canada you live, but since there are only about 8 hours drive from Baltimore and to the Canadian border, it should not be the big problem to take the motorcycle a short trip up to "TwoCanuck country" :mrgreen: :twisted:

@ Cisco...I very much look forward to meeting and talking / smoking with you in november :) .. and I owe you some serious smoking for miss out on 420 :roll: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Hi badbone, would you have any advice on where to stay near Christiania?

I understand there is no accommodation available in the area itself but wondered if you might know of any cheap hotels nearby, preferably with smoking rooms!

@ Tranquilised.. Sorry :( ... I know virtually nothing about accommodation options in Copenhagen :? .. but I found this elsewhere on this thread :wink:

The included breakfast far surpasses included breakkies in A'dam...plentiful Danish ham, cheeses, eggs, cereal...the works.

Here's the website http://www.nebo.dk/eng/index.htm

Christiania is about a 20 minute walk from there...don't fret, plenty to see along the way.

Sas Radisson hotel (4 or 5 stars) is also close by i think its expensive though

Copenhagen is about the same size as Amsterdam so no matter where you stay its easy to get to Christiania.

Great news for cannabis smokers and anti-fascists around the world!

The Christianites have after very long negotiations bought the area from the danish state. Price 76,2 million kroner.

The people are very happy- time to celebrate!!!!

6. id say april-september. I just came home from roskilde festival had a great time there (30 km from cph) very smoker friendly festival. The copenhagen jazz festival just started biggest in europe i think. others worth a mention Distortion in June free street parties.

i was there late april and it was great! the airport is less than ten minutes from the city center by tram and from the city center its about a 20 minute walk to christiania (there are buses aswell!) i smoked all over the citiy just kept it discret and never had a problem and hardly ever saw a cop other than speeding by with the blue lights on.
denmark is extremly expensive almost double than amsterdam to give u some rough figures if u buy an 0.5 liter bottle of water at 7eleven its 3,95 euro you should try and find an aldi :)
christiania as such i considered is a little alternative paradise youll feel welcome and great the minute u enter no matter at what time of the day the stalls where there and there are plenty stalls to check out! i hung out at nemos cafe alot u can sit outside ..smoke drink play chess....theres food stalls and restaurants in christiana the most commercial thing i came across was a kebab. make sure to buy some christiania beer at the christiania store is delicious! feel free to ask if u have any other qeustions :)

@badbone : would be fun to meet you up and share a couple of joints someday around your corner.
Takes me around 1-2 hours to get there from Helsingborg , been there many times but would be really fun with someone that knows it really good around there.
