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?

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:

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?

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.

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”
