Germany's budding coalition is considering the legalization of cannabis.

Marijuana may be an issue of easy agreement in the ongoing coalition talks between Germany's leading parties.

Despite numerous points of contention, the center-left Social Democrats (SPD), neoliberal Free Democrats (FDP) and Greens can find themselves aligned when it comes to cannabis legalization.

The FDP emphasizes the revenue that the state could earn from taxing prerolled joints, cannabis flower and edibles. The Greens say legalization would put an end to illegal sales and reduce organized crime.

On Wednesday, Social Democrat health expert Karl Lauterbach urged the next government to legalize cannabis.

Here is a look at countries that have already loosened their policies.
