Following the arrest of a couple on Valentine’s weekend for cannabis use and Prime Minister Robert Abela’s announcement to present a draft law on cannabis regulation, various local figures have tackled the subject of cannabis use in Malta.
Amongst others, popular media personality Peppi Azzopardi called upon the Prime Minister to ask whether or not justice will be given to individuals who had been incarcerated for growing cannabis at home.
The proposed policy change is believed to put an end to arrest individuals for personal cannabis use as well as allow regulated cultivation of the cannabis plant.

The branch called upon the government to respect and recognise the right for human life as it is the pillar of Maltese democracy.
