Why is it that all weed enthusiasts always believe that MJ has any relevance to the, in this case Danish, economy? The amount of MJ use in Denmark is minimal compared to other countries, and certainly there is no where near "billions" of Euros sold. Certainly "drug tourists" make little to no impact on the tourism of Copenhagen.

Maybe drug tourism has little impact, but 24% of adolescents report that they’ve used it in the past year, and 41% report they’ve tried it. With it being illegal, there’s no doubt that a fair amount of money is being moved around society shadily because of it.

It’s probably still less than what an average adolescence spends on burgers.
I think that's true.
