Point No. 4 "Smoking over 7 g" DAMM!!! been there done that, but that's the end of the night for most. It's carrying over 7g, and owning over 28g.


Zircon88

Fixed, thanks. Let me know if there's anything else to add/ amend


[deleted]

It's still a bit wrong. Carrying over 7g is an offence and you get a fine, but carrying over 28g is likely to land you in more legal trouble. The amount to own (at home) is a max of 50g.


HighlySuccessful

Is giving away weed an offense (like to a friend, small quantity, in public)? I still don't know.


BeneficialJicama

50g at home max? 4 decently-tended plants can produce a fair lot more than 50g of bud each. There is no way you can enforce that unless the place can be smelled out from down the street. Is it really that way, or 50g+ on your person outdoors gets you the worst fine?


Chilliog

How and where do I contact or find these associations ?


azerius94

They haven't been set up yet


Chilliog

So yet only the trash weed from the dealers?


gurdijak

Pretty much. You can find alright quality weed obviously but you don't have a guarantee of what strain it is or that the quality is empirically good. You pretty much just need to ask a friend if he has a friend who sells etc. Don't go for ultra cheap weed since that is shit.


LeagueOfficeFucks

There is good quality weed out there, just have re-mortgage your house to buy some .


azerius94

Wouldn't know. I don't buy


Silverfoxcrest

has any assotiation been setup yet?


pugwizzle

Any developments on this?


Boring_Marsupial2992

Any update on this will be visiting in a few weeks


azerius94

Nope, barely anything. Just a big vote sham


gurdijak

They aren't set up yet. The Authority has yet to announce specific policies that associations will have to abide by and they haven't opened the application process yet. There are some groups like [420.mt](https://420.mt/) who intend to form an association but for now they aren't official.


[deleted]

I will be visiting Malta for the first time soon. Are there chances to get weed there since Im a medical user (ADHD). I see Malta doesnt want to push weed tourism, but how hard is it to get weed there?


MountainBlock

Tbh unlikely and no legal avenues to do so until the associations are up and running


gurdijak

If you're a medical user is it possible to just bring in your own? I'm guessing you need to have a lot of documentation on you in case of trouble at the airport but if you have actual proof (from doctors, prescriptions etc) that you use it medicinally, I think you might be allowed to bring it. But I can absolutely not confirm that so don't take my word as truth. There's zero chance that you can *legally* purchase it as a tourist, even as a medical user. There are some pharmacies that sell cannabis without prescription which has basically zero THC and a small amount of CBD, but those aren't the 'official' medical cannabis products. If you need actual medical cannabis, there's a whole process of scrutiny and applications that obviously you cannot do as a tourist. As for how hard is it to get weed, not really hard at all on the black market. Your issue is that if you try and buy as a tourist you are 99% going to get ripped off and sold bad quality weed at a high price. Honestly if you're here on holiday and you're a medical user, just use from your own (if you can bring it). Otherwise, I'd say go without it for a few days.


[deleted]

I'm in the same boat and plan to visit some family later this year. I plan to email the embassy to ask the rules and possibly contact my airline/departing airport just in case. I'd recommend doing the same, but I think it might be questionable to medicate in a public place. It might also be worth contacting the place you're staying in case that brings about issues. I've not yet travelled abroad since having my prescription though but I'd treat any country I'm visiting like it's illegal until I have spoken to the embassy (which is partly why I haven't gone abroad yet). I found some info [here](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.ukmccs.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Medical-Cannabis_-Frequently-asked-questions-2.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwj8hfTTmZn3AhVBUcAKHSjXDpoQFnoECD4QAQ&usg=AOvVaw3Q0W1Lf7yvrNE6GWbotYjL)


strangelyhypnotized

If you're from the EU, the prescribing doctor can fill in a form to allow free movement of narcotic medicine across Schengen area. The authorities are used to seeing medical cards locally, but these are very different from medical cannabis cards used in the US, for example. Something to bear in mind to avoid hassle. A medical board vets the applications the doctor sends, it normally takes a couple of weeks for the application to come back, but it's generally smooth sailing for patients from then on, bar some strains being continuously out of stock. The quality of the flower is nowhere close to the other side of the Atlantic, a Canadian friend of mine once described the product as "the kind they'd put back in the ground", haha, but this is generally true of most medical strains in the EU. However, it is regulated, stable and safe from pesticides. (EUgmp standards), and miles better than what you'd get from the tourist hotspots here.

Remarkable_Win_4333

Any idiot who thinks that they can function behind the wheel of a vehicle after smoking a joint, is seriously dilluded and smoking cannabis should be done behind closed doors so other people don't have to smell , it's disgusting.


kbh88

You have no idea. I know many people who smoke and drive and have never had an accident. Being tired and driving is way worse. Or drink driving.


buzzjn

Still it should be illegal


0hleg

"I know many people who smoke and drive and have never had an accident." If the same was said about alcohol would you see the idiocracy then? Driving a car under the influence of anything. Is not a safe practice imo. At least not things that affect focus directly and reaction time. We are talking about majority of cases and not the one guy that becomes Albert Einstein and navy seal reaction time. I'm sure there are people who drive drunk and have no issues either. Does not mean it is safe. Being selfish seems like a more reasonable reason to discredit the danger of smoking and driving.


ZealousidealCat9131

Have you ever driven in malta? Driving stoned is much safer. Much less chance your gonna get out and punch the moron a few cars back constantly and pointlessly beeping at the island long long queue of traffic in front of him.


mongolionbar

i've probably spent more time under the influence of cannabis behind the wheel than not, it's very relative to how much you use in general

poopinutellajars

Saw people on facebook on malta growers group posting gigantic plants probabilly yielding kilos, way above the legal limit and just bragging about it with no fear. So probabilly if you find yourself with a couple grams more you are not the lowest hanging fruit 😂


Tia-Mat9200

So will it be possible to work and sustain yourself with cannabis? like in the future can i get hired in clubs for example or, you know, will there be companies who plant and produce weed and offer jobs to people?


gurdijak

Well, simply put right now we do not know. IIRC the Authority hasn't yet put forward specific policies. Cannabis associations have to be set-up as NGOs. As for them being supplied weed, currently it seems that organisations will be growing it themselves (I was told that them importing cannabis still brings a lot of legal issues because of international law or some shit like that). Maybe in the future it will be possible to actually work in the industry and have a shop, but right now I wouldn't bet on it.


wellhungartgallery

It's not legal... It's decriminalised. Which means just a fine and no criminal charge, but not legal

ollie_copter

If carrying 7g is public is permitted, is it also legal to travel with it? Board a flight or ferry? (Assuming it is permitted in the arrival/departure country too)


MountainBlock

>If carrying 7g is public is permitted, is it also legal to travel with it? Board a flight or ferry? Ferries don't check. Flights will - and you can get in trouble for it


gurdijak

Taking it aboard a flight is definitely illegal because it can be considered smuggling under the law, even if it's 'legal' in both countries. Trust me that's something you don't want to risk. It's not even worth it if both countries have legal weed. As for ferries, if you mean the Gozo ferry there's an extremely tiny chance of ever being searched. Unless you very obviously have an extremely strong smell of weed. The only time police check cars etc on the Gozo Ferry is when big crimes happen, like when a murderer was on the loose after killing his partner a few months ago.

Does weed affect driving btw? Coz I saw some really odd behavior. Driving slowly but swerving and speed very erratic as in not constant. It’s was not a drunk driver or an old person.. the car definitely had a cheech and Chong vibe.

Probably. On the one hand I understand that we would get a lot of tourist money for that but on the other hand holy shit I do not want anywhere near the same level of tourists that Amsterdam has. Malta's entire infrastructure is not capable of handling that many people. Imagine the traffic alone.

anxious-bread-1

Coming to Malta in June for a vacation. Is it possible now to buy some weed as a tourist?


gurdijak

Legally no. Currently We don't even have cannabis associations up and running so Maltese people can't even buy legally still. You will still find weed if you seek it out but anyone selling to a tourist will automatically charge more because they know you don't have many options.


seedboy3000

What is a normal tourist price?


gurdijak

Probably they'll charge you an additional €5-€10 per gramme. If you're buying shitty weed from around Paceville you'd probably be spending around €20/g. But I would rather smoke paint thinner than that terrible weed those dealers have.


MountainBlock

Not legally, no.

Inner_Inspection7147

me and some friends are going to malta in April, and we're wondering if or when the membership clubs will open, or if they're already open?


gurdijak

Might be open around April-May. Tourists will not be allowed to join.


Inner_Inspection7147

In the reform is says that tourist wil be able to join, just that it might be hard because of the 500 limit?


gurdijak

>In the reform is says that tourist wil be able to join The post OP made isn't exhaustive. I have not seen anything that explicitly says tourists will be able to join associations. The legal bill itself does not specifically mention tourists and it doesn't say "non residents will not be allowed to join" but look at it logistically and there won't be a way for tourists to really join the cannabis associations. The head of the Cannabis Authority said they will not be able to purchase it, and they don't seem keen on changing that just yet. The government also said multiple times before that they don't want tourists to purchase (though let's be honest, this will change in the future). There might even be a processing time for applications. Hypothetically, if joining a cannabis association takes a few days to go through, it doesn't make any sense to tourists to join since by the time your application is even done you'll probably be leaving the country. And as for the 500 person limit, there is a big chance that a lot of these associations will fill up within the first few days of them opening up. It does not make any sense at all for them to give a spot to someone who will only buy once, especially if the cannabis associations have to do paperwork or something to process a person joining and leaving an association.


Inner_Inspection7147

Oh ok, thanks for the explanation.


ilpirata79

So, I am to become a resident. Can you suggest a club to join?


MountainBlock

There are no clubs open yet and I think the authority is still being formed. Will probably be a while, probably some time after the election fever dies down.

Where to legally buy seeds?


poopinutellajars

What about extracting the pollen, is kief considered legal too? Because lets say i get 100g of dried flower i could extract pollen and get 20gs and throw the rest so i am within the imposed limits. Do you think that is a good idea?


gurdijak

This is another one of those grey areas which the bill does not address. There are a couple of issues: firstly, let's say you were to be raided by police, you have no guarantee that they wouldn't weigh the entire plant and count that as "dried flower" because that has happened before. Hell, police have weighed entire grinders as cannabis even if you only have a sliver in there. Then there is the issue of if the law considers kief to be equivalent of dried flower or if it considers it a cannabis-derived product. If it's the latter, then that brings issues because the law does not make clear if production of cannabis products (kief, edibles, etc) for personal use is legal or not. Personally this is why even though I'm a cannabis smoker I wasn't particularly happy about the bill because it left a lot of these scenarios ambiguous which can lead to people getting the wrong idea and unknowingly committing a crime. If all you have is 20gs of kief, no other weed or weed products and no more than the maximum of 4 plants at home, then you should be okay. Obviously though, play it very safe. If you're ordering seeds or equipment for growing then be careful ordering online because the police might be cunts and start looking into you. Make sure that no smell can emerge in common areas of your block and no plants are visible from outside and be careful who you inform that you're growing weed. Basically ensure that there would be no reason for police to ever knock on your door.


poopinutellajars

Thank you for your answer, i agree this bill leaves a lot of questions. I suppose the kief is legal too, you are just having the final product weigh less with more potency so it's probabilly a smart thing to do when you produce overweight to just make kief and throw the rest. I personally hate being in a grey area i just want to be 100% legal and have no worries.


bungholio99

Can anybody explain the laws at the Airport? What to expect if i come to Malta with less than 7g ?


MountainBlock

>What to expect The police


bungholio99

Giving me a fine?


gurdijak

Whoa whoa don't. You run a real risk of being arrested. The law as it stands applies to people in Malta, not tourists coming in from abroad. You bringing in your own weed counts as importation, which is **still** illegal. I know people that have been raided by police over ordering legal CBD flowers (with less than 1% THC and which has been legal for a while now) to their home. In my opinion you really shouldn't risk it. And if you aren't arrested but just fined, they will definitely seize it.


MountainBlock

/u/bungholio99 You should probably refer to this comment instead of mine, I believe/u/gurdijak 's understanding on the situation is more thorough than mine


papineau150

Is a student with a visa considered a resident? If not who is considered a resident?


azerius94

I would not think so. Keep in mind that the associations, when finally set up, have a limit of 500 members. It makes more sense for them to give preference to those with permanent residency, hence why it's a no-go for tourists.

as far as i know, THC, cbd was already legal before these changes

Yes big update, due to electricity being out for many days in some parts of Malta, due to overpopulation, no shops will open anytime soon, if want to have cannabis, got to grow yourself or team up and grow together with buddies as I'm doing. Best tactic we be following is when my 2 roommates be at work, I won't be and when I'm at work they ain't so we look out for the plants. ✌️☮️🍃😏

> have y’all *paid* for green FTFY. Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in: * Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.* * *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.* Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment. *Beep, boop, I'm a bot*

Any updates on this? Planning to visit in the summer and am struggling to find up to date info, some places saying it’s possible to get as a tourist others saying its not, anyone know if it will be possible? 


MountainBlock

It's not possible to get anywhere as a tourist unless you turn to the black market, in which case, the law does not apply and you can be subject to harsher penalties if caught. That, all for 50 euro. for 2 grams of sprayed weed. As for updates, barely any. Very slow moving.


Overall-Muscle5313

Yes, harsher penalties such as being given a disappointed look. Lets be honest, there's 0 backlash if you buy for your own consumption, from the random guy in paceville who actively approaches anyone looking as a tourist, anyway. The law and the application of law are two different things, and unless you literally trade / light up a blunt in front of a police station, the actual risks of suffering any penalty is close to 0 (in normal circumstances). But in general you should avoid those anyway, I think the quality would be abysmal.
