Berlin to legalize Cannabis

I read this in a finnish paper yesterday. However I can't find any information about it online. Can anyone confirm this?
According to the paper the Berlin senate has just passed legislation legalizing purchase and possession of amounts up to 10 grams.
Anyone from Germany have a say on this?

Seems to me it's very true. I couldn't find any news articles in English, but here is one in German - http://www.rep-berlin.de/ (second from the top)

i think it's not quite legalization, but decriminilization. i was in berlin last week, smoking and making joints in public, didn't even see so much as a strange stare (and saw many others doing the same thing)

In English
The possession of 10 gram of Cannabis are immediately legal and are no longer criminally pursued.

Hopefully this wave of decriminalization will eventually make it to the states.
