christiania

'i really never buy cocaine!'
hahaha. we went to christiania today. it's a 'settlement' in christianhavn. it's basically a place with almost no law or order. people are free to do whatever they want. the place is quite creepy and depressing. the shops and houses are covered with grafitti and masked in a smoky atmosphere. suspicious looking people lurk around. then from the bars can smell some... drugs.
ironically, the 'tagline' associated with christiania is 'say no to hard drugs'. but why the distinction between hard and soft drugs when both create potential problems to society? moreover, banning hard drugs but condoning soft drugs can be simply viewed as a slippery slope situation. the governance of christiania is really pretty weird. it was really an eye opener for me since after being well protected all my life.
'and i also really never buy marijuana!'
