Denmark has historically a more liberal and more harm reduction-oriented drug policy than Sweden.

The participants from Malm\u00f6 used drugs in more risky settings and relied more on other people who use drugs for resources and had more concerns regarding overdoses and other drug-related harms and about being arrested by the police.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In both cities, the Nordic welfare state plays a large role in providing resources, but drug policy can influence access to harm reduction resources and the experience of criminalization. These differences can play a role in shaping the local risk environments, although the patterns identified should be interpreted with caution given the exploratory nature of the study.
