Nearly half of German residents support the proposed partial overturning of the cannabis ban, a survey by YouGov showed Friday.

The poll found that 47% of respondents are somewhat or completely in favor of the proposed law, while 42% of them said they somewhat or completely reject the plans.

Around 11% of the 2,151 people surveyed last week had no strong opinion.

The vote in Germany's lower house of parliament, the Bundestag, is a few hours away.
