Malta’s inaugural cannabis club, the KDD Society, has initiated the distribution of cannabis to its members, marking a significant development since the country became the first EU Member State to legalize cannabis.
The Authority for the Responsible Use of Cannabis (ARUC) confirmed the society’s compliance with all mandatory laboratory tests, ensuring the cannabis is free from contaminants.
Termed ‘Cannabis Harm Reduction Associations,’ these clubs are the sole legal means for individuals to purchase cannabis in Malta.
The ARUC emphasized the necessity for legal cannabis to be distributed in containers labeled by ARUC, featuring a ‘Phytocannabinoid Profile’ for cannabinoid content and potency.
Comprehensive tests include micro-organism analyte, bacteria, yeast and mold count, mycotoxins, trace/heavy metal analyte, water activity and moisture content, and filth and foreign material.
Expressing satisfaction, the ARUC highlighted that a year after establishing club regulations, the registered association (CHRA 002) has commenced operations “in a highly regulated manner based on a public health and harm reduction approach.”
Limited to Maltese residents, these cannabis clubs are subject to stringent regulations, with six associations currently authorized to cultivate and sell cannabis in Malta, as per the ARUC website. This development comes three months after KDD Society and another association were granted licenses for legal cultivation and sale of cannabis.
