ReLeaf Malta’s contribution to the consultative process launched by the Government of Malta on the White Paper, Towards the Strengthening of the Legal Framework on the Responsible Use of Cannabis
A cannabis reform advocacy group has welcomed government plans to fully decriminalise the drug while urging it tweak its proposals to allow cannabis to consumed in public in adult-only settings.
In a position paper submitted to the government as part of a public consultation process, Releaf said the plans were an innovative initial approach to move towards a more humane, just and inclusive Maltese society.
The government white paper proposes to fully decriminalise cannabis when possesed in small quantities for recreational use, allow users to grow up to four cannabis plants in a concealed environment within their own homes and to wipe clean the criminal records of people with cannabis possession convictions.
