“…The new programme was in part a policy response to the increases in youth drug use. However, as outlined by Houborg et al (2020b) it also reflected a general shift towards more morally based neo-conservative "law and order" crime policies in Denmark (see Balvig, 2005). The Fight against Drugs initiated a change in Danish drug control policy (Frank, 2008;Houborg et al, 2008), and it addressed different areas directly relevant to cannabis policy, one of which was use and small-scale selling of cannabis.…”

“…Internationally, some schemes have explicitly excluded minors from a non-criminal response, whereas others specify circumstances where policies apply to them. Up until 2004 in Denmark, for example, several police forces enacted de facto schemes to avoid arresting and charging young people for simple drug possession, even where these criminal justice responses were still applied to adults (Houborg et al, 2020;Hughes et al, 2018).…”

“…The association between drug policy and citizenship is not unfamiliar in drug policy analysis. Some analyses, for example, associate harm reduction with new public health as a way to promote a neo-liberal, health conscious, and self-responsible citizen (Fomiatti, Moore, & Fraser 2019;Tammi and Hurme 2007), while others have seen drug policies as both promoting and restricting social citizenship (Benoit 2003;Houborg & Bjerge 2011;Houborg, Søgaard, & Mogensen, 2020). Therefore, when we analyse Danish drug policy we will study how different drug policy initiatives have affected the rights and obligations of drug users; the extent to which such initiatives have served as mechanisms of inclusion and exclusion of drug users; and how they have influenced drug users' access to resources.…”
