Malta marks a historic moment in the regulation and distribution of cannabis. KDD Society, the first registered cannabis club in Malta aimed at reducing the risks associated with cannabis consumption, has started distributing cannabis to its registered members.

Full operationality and completion of the license process

The association, registered under the number CHRA 002, announced its full operations after receiving its operating license in October 2023. The licensing process was rigorous, involving a series of laboratory tests conducted by the Authority for the Responsible Use of Cannabis (ARUC).

These tests checked, among others, the phytocannabinoid profile, the presence of microorganisms, bacteria, yeasts, molds , mycotoxins, heavy metals , as well as humidity and the presence of contaminants. Thanks to this, hemp club members can be sure that the distributed product is free from undesirable contaminants.

Unique labeling and packaging

Cannabis distributed by the association is easily identifiable thanks to unique labeling and ARUC seals found on child-resistant packaging. This highlights the high standard of safety and quality of the product provided to members.

Regulations and security in Malta

ARUC emphasizes that cannabis harm reduction associations are the only regulated entities authorized to grow and distribute cannabis containing more than 0.2% THC. This move reflects a commitment to ensuring that access to cannabis is controlled and consistent with public health and harm reduction principles.

Summary

The inauguration of the KDD Society as the first Cannabis Club in Malta is a groundbreaking step towards the regulation and safe access to cannabis. It is also evidence of the growing acceptance of cannabis in the context of public health and harm reduction.

Actions like those taken by ARUC and the KDD Society can serve as a model for other countries seeking drug policy reforms, focusing on safety, education and user responsibility.
