Canada's parliament has passed a law to make the recreational use of cannabis legal.

It's only the second country to do this - after Uruguay.

It follows an election campaign promise from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

The Cannabis Act sailed through by a vote of 52 to 29 on Tuesday, allowing for the drug to become available for recreational use as soon as the cabinet decides on a final date.

It is expected to be decided upon by mid-September, meaning retail sales could begin before the end of the year.
