Malta’s First Cannabis Association Now ‘Fully Operational’ As Distribution To Members Kicks Off
The first of Malta’s Cannabis Harm Reduction Associations is now “fully operational”, the Authority for the Responsible Use Of Cannabis has announced.
The association, CHRA 002, “has begun distributing cannabis to registered adult members”, after it was granted an operating license back in October 2023.
In the past weeks, today’s announcement said, “successfully passed all mandatory laboratory testing by ARUC, including Phytocannabinoid Profile, Micro-organism Analyte, Bacteria, Yeast and Mold Count, Mycotoxins, Trace / Heavy Metal Analyte, Water Activity and Moisture Content and Filth and Foreign Material, further ensuring cannabis cultivated and distributed within Cannabis Harm Reduction Associations are free from unwanted contaminants. Cannabis flowers cultivated, packaged and distributed by CHRAs are identifiable by the unique ARUC Label and Seal.”
“Cannabis Harm Reduction associations are the ONLY regulated entities to cultivate and distribute non-medical cannabis above 0.2% THC,” the ARUC went on to clarify, saying it was “pleased that one year after the Convention on Setting the Standards for a not-for-profit Cannabis seed to distribution approach, CHRAs have now begun operating in a highly-regulated manner based on a public health and harm reduction approach.”
The announcement went on to include important reminders on how to recognise the cultivated cannabis flowers, which are clearly marked and approved by the ARUC.
