What Are Cannabis Edibles?
Cannabis edibles are foods or drinks infused with cannabinoids, most commonly THC and CBD. Unlike inhaled products, edibles are digested and metabolized through the liver, which can change how long they take to work and how long their effects last.(Wikipedia)
Edibles include:
-
Gummies & chews
-
Baked goods (cookies, brownies, cakes)
-
Capsules & pills
-
Beverages
-
Tinctures & lozenges
In Malta, only edibles with under 0.2% THC are legal to sell and consume, including both CBD and low-THC THC products.

Under Maltese law:
-
Edibles containing < 0.2% THC are legal to buy and use.
-
All products must be lab tested for cannabinoid content.
-
Products exceeding the THC threshold are not legally sold or distributed.
This means you can enjoy lab-tested CBD gummies, brownies, cookies and other treats that comply with cannabinoid limits.
