A wide flertalt in the Copenhagen city council has on Thursday evening voted in favour of a trial of the free hash.
the city council will now ask the government for permission to launch a three-year pilot with legalized sales of marijuana in the city of Copenhagen.
It writes TV2 Lorry.
It is the Unity that has taken the initiative to gather the Social democrats, the Alternative, The Radical and the SF behind the proposal, as 44 out of 55 of the Borgerrepræsentationens members voted in favour.
the Left strongly oppose to the proposal.

– I think it is an expression of pure cynicism, for those who have dug it here the proposal forward, for they know well, and it is supported by all the research that marijuana is harmful, said the Liberal party chairman in the city council, Flemming Steen Munch, in the last week, according to TV2 Lorry.
– the Hash being addictive, marijuana gives a whole lot of psychological problems in those who use it regularly.
the city council, however, must not rejoice too quickly. Health minister Magnus Heunicke said already last week that the Social democrats in the Danish parliament are not in favour of the legalization of marijuana.
– the Hash is associated with a variety of adverse effects which can have serious consequences especially for the mentally vulnerable and children and young people with social problems. We have a responsibility to help them get an education. And we do not do so by legalizing marijuana, which impairs learning ability, it said in a written for TV 2 Lorry.
