ReLeaf Malta @releafmalta.bsky.social · 23/03/2026The ARUC is raking in HUGE profits from our not-for-profit! Why not use them to lower #cannabis prices? Reinvest in green grants (reusable jars, odour filters), sponsor member vaporizers, or fund restorative justice for illegal CBD fines? Keep the noble NFP principle alive! #Malta 020
ReLeaf Malta @releafmalta.bsky.social · 09/10/2025Sad days in #Malta! Instead of preventing harm, our law courts continue to adopt draconian interpretation of the law and consider 12 grams of cannabis a serious crime..
