In many countries, marijuana is an illegal drug. In such countries, dealing with the illegal drugs is a serious crime. Also, dealing with the person/company/organization who deal with the illegal drugs are also illegal.
The end result is, global companies can't do business that is legal on some countries, but illegal on majority of coutries.
On some illegal activities such as endorsing the woman's right, freedom of speech, democracy, alcohol(There are countries which prohibit these), they ignore it since it has established its place or not dealing with are also serious crime, or the countries which prohibit such act is minority. But for totally new topic like marijuana, It's safer to not dealing with.

I.e. do something that's legal in the country in question? I don't know the legal specifics but it's seem silly to me if they weren't able to.

Marijuana is federally illegal in the United States, helping people buy it could easily be argued as a crime which exposes/risks Google's EVERYTHING - financial holdings, records, government contracts etc.
