Germany's coalition government has agreed on a plan to legalise recreational cannabis use among adults.
Possession of up to 30g (1oz) for personal use would be allowed. Licensed shops and pharmacies would sell it.
The plan has yet to be approved in parliament - but also receive the green light by the European Commission.
Several countries have legalised limited use of medicinal cannabis. Canada and Uruguay have also legalised recreational cannabis.
In the US, 37 states and Washington DC have legalised medical cannabis, while 19 states have approved it for recreational use. That represents well over 40% of the US population.
