Now we know why the Botwin family on Weeds spent three years in Copenhagen. The city council voted Thursday to legalize marijuana in the Danish capitol. "We don't want an Amsterdam model," says Mikkel Warming. "We're thinking of perhaps 30 to 40 public sales houses. Who is it better for youngsters to buy marijuana from?

Warming added: "We want a way to make it legal to import or grow marijuana."

Marijuana is already openly sold on Pusher Street in the city's counterculture hub, Christiania.
