Malta has no cannabis shops, only associations: non-profits with a CHRA number, an operating permit from the Authority for the Responsible Use of Cannabis (ARUC) and a members-only door. ARUC's public registry listed 24 associations with an operating permit in September 2026; Verdex lists 15 and follows them one by one. They sit in industrial estates and arcades rather than high streets: Exotic Culture (CHRA 011) in a Mosta industrial estate, KDD Society (CHRA 002) in Attard, one of the first two to receive an operating licence, and Green Planet in Xemxija, whose dispensary opened in July 2025.

What a licensed association may hand you

Who: Malta residents aged 18 or over, one association per person, up to 500 members each. ARUC states that tourists may not become members.
How much: 7 g a day and 50 g a month per member. Since 2025, solventless resin counts as 3 g of flower per gram.
What is in the pack: under Legal Notices 44 and 45 of 2026, announced by ARUC on February 18, product must pass laboratory testing and come in labelled containers with numbered tamper-evident seals.
Where you use it: at home. Associations may not run consumption lounges, and Bill 128 (2025) extends the €235 fine to smoke that bothers neighbours.

Associations must keep 250 metres from schools, sports facilities and youth centres and may not display a name, logo or cannabis imagery to non-members, so a plain frontage is normal. Not every licensed association is distributing yet; check the ARUC registry before you pay a joining fee. Green Planet's listing shows no street address, because none is published.

How the model fits together, including home grow of four plants, is in our Malta associations explainer. Visitors should read what tourists can do instead.

Questions about this list

Can tourists join a cannabis association in Malta?

No. ARUC states on its registry that tourists may not become members, and applicants must show an ID card or residence card issued by the Maltese government. Anyone offering cannabis outside the association system is selling illegally.

How do I check that a Maltese association is licensed?

Use ARUC's public registry of associations with an operating permit. Only associations with that permit may enrol members, and a licensed association may not yet be distributing, so ask before paying any fee.

How much can a Malta association supply a member?

Up to 7 g a day and 50 g a month, with resin counted at 3 g of flower per gram, according to ARUC's framework. The February 2026 legal notices add mandatory laboratory testing and sealed, labelled packs.
