A Danish activist who openly provides cannabis to cancer patients and other Danes with serious medical ailments was arrested and faces up to ten years in prison. The initial court appearance was held behind closed doors, despite the defence’s wish to have information about the case shared with the public. A Gallup poll found in June that a full 88 percent of Danes support legalizing cannabis for medical use and of those who support legalization. Polls have also shown a slim majority in favour of legalizing cannabis for recreational use. (See also: Medicinal cannabis trial in the works in Denmark)
