Men Christiania har også sine problemer. But|Christiania|has|also|its|problems But Christiania also has its problems. Christianitterne har altid kæmpet imod hård narkotika og for fri hash, og i Christianias hovedgade Pusher Street sælges der hash fra små boder. the Christianites|have|always|fought|against|hard|drugs|and|for|free|hash|and|in|Christiania’s|main street|Pusher|Street|is sold|there|hash|from|small|stalls The Christianites have always fought against hard drugs and for free hash, and in Christiania's main street Pusher Street, hash is sold from small stalls.
