The 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

Sad 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.. Cannabis decriminalisation or just a masquerade? #reefermadness #oppression #persecution

Man in possession of 12.5g of cannabis is charged with aggravated possession
Man who was found with cannabis exceeding limit by 5.5g of cannabis is charged with aggravated possession

Dear experts, doctors, and others.. Correlation is NOT causation Blood detection and levels do not equate to impairment Stop using us as a scapegoat, the real problems are: 💨Overspeeding Alcohol binging 🫣 ⚠️Unsafe infrastructure #SaferRoads #Malta

We respond to questions 🧐🤓 Why more plants? So we don’t live in fear of arrest. 500g is exaggerated! If decrim allows acquiring 50g/month (+500g/year), why isn’t a Home Grower treated equally? Why label us ‘criminals’ instead of equal citizens? #nothingaboutuswithoutus 🇲🇹

And 🇲🇹 Malta? Still waiting for thousands of criminal records to be cleared. Fines for cannabis use on the street & at home if a neighbour has it. 😡 April’s legal changes? No help for home growers & risking CHRA members’ privacy with data leaks. #CannabisReform #Malta

🔴 How can we rest assured the personal data collected by the ARUC through Cannabis Harm Reduction Associations will not end up being leaked or passed on for political reasons? 🤔 🧐 We are talking here about potentially over 8,000 people! #cannabisreform #malta

The ARUC is presently sharing very worrying posts on the legal amendments it proposed and enacted through Parliament a few days ago. Disproportionate laws hurt us all, especially members of CHRAs, presently the only ones exposed to a breach of privacy and rights. #stigma #Malta

'Very sadly, it seems government-funded entities, and other stakeholders with a direct commercial and financial interest from cannabis sales are leveraging political pressure to demonise home cultivation and tarnish the reputation of home growers.'

Bonello also expressed concerns that the agreement could see police issuing arrests on the pretext of ‘research’ & ‘harm-reduction’.   “We fear a similar agreement will give the Police a new found mission of ‘arresting home growers / personal users’ on the pretext of ‘research’ and harm reduction”
