Is CBD Legal in Chile?

CBD is legal in Chile as a pharmaceutical product under Decree No. 84 of 2015 (modifying Decree No. 405) and supplementary Ministerio de Salud resolutions. Cannabis-derived medicines, including CBD oils, may be prescribed by a registered physician and dispensed through licensed pharmacies. The Instituto de Salud Pública (ISP) authorises specific cannabinoid products and oversees the Magistral cannabis formulation pathway, which allows compounding pharmacies to prepare individualised CBD preparations.

Consumer CBD wellness products — without therapeutic claims and within strict regulatory parameters — are increasingly available, though the line between cosmetic, food supplement, and pharmaceutical remains contested. Importation of finished CBD products for personal medical use requires ISP authorisation under Resolución Exenta No. 1051 of 2014, which permits patient-named imports of cannabis-derived medicines.
