Copenhagen Mayor Calls for End to Foreigners' Marijuana Purchases After Shooting

The mayor of Copenhagen has urged foreigners to refrain from buying marijuana in the city's Christiania neighborhood following a shooting that resulted from gang turf wars over the drug trade. The killing was the latest incident in an ongoing feud between rival gangs, the Hells Angels and the outlawed Loyal to Family, who are vying for control of the cannabis market in Christiania. The mayor expressed concern over the escalating violence and called on tourists and new foreign residents to avoid supporting the criminal gangs by purchasing drugs. Christiania, a popular tourist attraction, has a history of clashes related to the illegal drug trade.
