ReLeaf urge government to present tangible proposals to legalise cannabis for personal use
Legalising cannabis for personal use will not lead to a free for all but rather ensure the drug is removed from the hands of criminals, activists insist

Cannabis campaigners want government to present tangible proposals for the legalisation of marijuana for personal use as they contest fears that regulation will lead to a free for all. ReLeaf, an organisation campaigning for the legalisation of cannabis, was reacting to a recent statement by the Maltese Association of Psychiatry and Oasi Foundation warning against legalisation. Government is in the process of drawing up a legal framework to legalise cannabis for personal use, however few details have so far emerged on what type of regulation was being considered. The organisation insisted that the fears expressed by MAP and Oasi were based on the notion of a legalised and commercialised cannabis market, rather than a regulated one. ReLeaf backs a regulated market.
