What is the legal status of CBD in Malta?
Are you traveling to Malta? Or are you visiting Malta?

What are the consequences if you buy products with too high THC content?
In simple terms: It will depend on the product type and the strength of the content, but a bottle for personal consumption would in the worst-case scenario be a fine of up to €100. Malta created the “The Authority for the Responsible Use of Cannabis (‘ARUC’)” in 2021 as a system to ensure a responsible consumption of cannabis. It focuses on less punishment and more on better health and social support. It regulates social clubs, which license non-profit organizations that can grow and distribute cannabis to members located in Malta. The Malta government is therefore the first government in the European Union to create a framework that through education and regulation tries to advance public health and safety.
