		</div><p>Malta has decriminalised the possession and cultivation of cannabis for personal use by adults, and took steps to set up what could become Europe’s first cannabis regulatory authority.</p>
<p>Under the new legislative package, it will become legal for anyone 18 and over to possess up to seven grams of cannabis and to cultivate up to four plants.</p>
<p>Growers for personal use can store up to 50 grams of dried marijuana. However, consuming cannabis in public or in the presence of minors remains illegal and subject to fines.</p>
<p>The new regulations will allow for the setting up of non-profit clubs that can distribute cannabis and cannabis plant seeds among their members.</p>
<p>And it calls for the establishment of an authority that will work with the government on national policy governing cannabis use.</p>
<p><!--Ads1--></p>
<p>The minister who sponsored the legislation, Owen Bonnici, said the package aimed “stop treating people who are not criminals like criminals,” create a regulatory system and “protect minors and society at large”.</p>
<p>The passage of the package was not unanimous, with the opposition Nationalist Party arguing that the bill would normalise and increase drug abuse in Malta.</p>
<p>It must be signed into law by the president, which is usually a formality.</p>
