The preparation of food products based on legal marijuana is not well regulated by law - there is no explicit prohibition, but it is also not included in the list of solutions for its consumption proposed by doctors, which may be interpreted as a violation of the law .

Hence the low popularity of this form of use in medical circles. Such products are typically only available in countries where marijuana is fully legal or partially decriminalized and are sold in specialty stores under government control.
