ReLeaf call for clear decriminalisation of cannabis cultivation

Dec 11 2020

Non-profit NGO ReLeaf have once again called for proper decriminalisation of adult cannabis cultivation by 2021.

The organisation’s call asks that adults can be allowed to grow cannabis at home or develop a ‘social club’ of sorts rather than let the illegal market run rampant whilst also threatening the wellbeing and privacy of consumers.

Malta’s Drug Dependence Act currently states that individuals found in possession of small amounts for personal use my face a fine of up to €100, with a second offence within a 2-year window calling for an assessment on drug dependence and even a three-year prison sentence.
