  • Where to buy

    Only ARUC-licensed non-profit associations; members must be Malta residents, one association per person.

  • Association limits

  • Minimum age

    18 (some associations require 21).

How it works

How cannabis is sold in Għargħur

Għargħur's cannabis story runs on dates, and the club here reaches back to the first year of the model.

  1. The President signs Act LXVI of 2021, creating Chapter 628 and the regulator ARUC.

  2. ARUC opens applications for association licences.

  3. The Roots Club is founded, according to its website.

  4. ARUC licenses the club as CHRA 008.

  5. Bill 128 sets the 250 metre distance from schools and youth centres.

Why do the daily hours matter?

Most associations close one or two days a week. This one sells from a shop unit in the Opal Block on Triq Giovanni Gafà, Shop A, and keeps the same hours all seven days. Membership is capped at 500 and, per the club, renewed monthly. Interest is registered through an online form. Nearby Naxxar has no registry entry, while San Ġwann has Organic Oasis. Prices and cultivation details are not published, so ask when you apply. The club's website calls its range general, and the daily schedule means a member is never more than a night away from a visit. See how associations are licensed.

Cannabis in Għargħur: questions

What ID does The Roots Club ask for?

Proof of residence, in practice a Maltese ID or residence card. It does not accept tourists or temporary members.

Are the daily hours confirmed by the regulator?

No. ARUC's registry lists phone and email but not hours. The 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. schedule comes from the club's own website.
