Unable to call the police but deeply troubled by what Pusher Street had become, Christiania's residents tried a range of unconventional counter-measures. In the late 1970s, when heroin arrived, residents collectively expelled heroin dealers and gave addicts an ultimatum: enter treatment or leave, with random urine tests to enforce compliance. They appealed to the public to buy hash elsewhere — a surreal anti-drug campaign aimed at their own tourists. One particularly audacious tactic, described by a Quora source Josh acknowledges with appropriate skepticism, involved residents staging an incident designed to trigger a police raid, then warning their neighbors but not the dealers. In 2022, police raided Pusher Street 100 times alone — yet it kept bouncing back. The definitive solution came in 2024: residents physically dug up and demolished Pusher Street, with Copenhagen now planning public housing on the site by 2029.
