Malta's cannabis associations will be allowed to sell cannabis resin and rosin, the Authority for the Responsible Use of Cannabis (ARUC) Executive Chairperson Joey Reno Vella confirmed to MaltaToday.
"ARUC is in the process of updating its Directives to permit the distribution of cannabis resin (hash) and similar processed products, such as rosin, through licensed CHRAs. However, it is imperative to highlight that only solvent-free, non-chemical extraction processes will be authorized. The use of solvents and/or chemical agents for the production of cannabis derivatives remains strictly prohibited. Additionally, the conversion of cannabis into oils and tinctures will not be permitted under these amendments," he said in reply to questions from this newspaper.
Cannabis association members are allowed to buy seven grams of cannabis flower a day, with a monthly limit of 50g. Vella explained that, given the increased potency of cannabis resin and similar products compared to dried cannabis flowers, a standardized equivalency will be introduced to regulate access.
In accordance with scientific assessments, each gram of processed resin or rosin will be considered equivalent to 3g of dried flower.
