The initial court appearance was held behind closed doors, despite the defence’s wish to have information about the case shared with the public. A Gallup poll found in June that a full 88 percent of Danes support legalizing cannabis for medical use and of those who support legalization. Polls have also shown a slim majority in favour of legalizing cannabis for recreational use. (See also: Medicinal cannabis trial in the works in Denmark)
