The Times of Malta

Malta’s cannabis associations will be able to store larger stocks of cannabis under new rules introduced last week.

While associations were previously allowed to store just 500g of cannabis in stock, a new legal notice sets out varying limits according to the number of members registered with each one.

Malta’s largest cannabis associations, with over 350 members, will now be able to stock 3.5kg of cannabis.

Those with between 250 and 350 members will be allowed to hold 2.45kg of cannabis, with associations registering between 110 and 250 members stocking up to 1.75kg.

Smaller ones will have more stringent limits.

Associations with under 100 members will only be allowed to hold 700g, while those with under 50 members will be allowed up to 350g.

Meanwhile, associations are allowed to store the equivalent of eight months’ supply at their cultivation site, calculated at 50g per member.

The new rules do not change how much cannabis a person can carry or consume.

According to Malta’s cannabis laws, first introduced in late 2021, people can carry up to 7g of cannabis without fear of prosecution.

Anyone caught with between 7g and 28g of cannabis will appear before a tribunal rather than face prosecution in a criminal court.

Association members can buy 7g of cannabis in the space of 24 hours, up to a maximum of 50g each month. Meanwhile, a person is allowed to store up to 50g of dried cannabis at home at any given time.

In 2024, Times of Malta reported that many of Malta’s cannabis clubs were full, with some association members saying they tend to run out of the product quickly.

The new regulations also introduced tighter penalties for entities caught flouting the rules.

Holding more stock than legally permitted at a distribution centre could see the association fined between €2,000 and €10,000.

However, a club found holding more than the allowed stock in its cultivation centre could be forced to pay a penalty of up to €50,000.

The laws also introduce fines for anybody caught transporting cannabis on behalf of a club without the written authorisation of ARUC, the authority responsible for regulating the industry.

The new rules are the latest in a series of changes to Malta’s cannabis laws since they were first introduced.

Last May, parliament approved a law to allow for fines of up to €235 in cases where the smell caused by somebody smoking cannabis at home annoys their neighbours.

That law had also given ARUC stronger enforcement powers against shops advertising and selling cannabis products without a licence.

On Monday, parliament was told that over the past two years, ARUC carried out 101 inspections at Cannabis Harm Reduction Associations cultivation sites, and 51 inspections at distribution sites.

The data was provided as part of a reply to a parliamentary question by PN MP David Agius.
