5. Switzerland has decriminalized.

They actually made their rules more strict a few years ago at Italy's behest, making it illegal for non-citizens to buy. This is all backpacker talk, so how true it is is up to debate, but we were able to buy at legal shops (with a little harassment for being american and a pretty large mark-up).
