What it doesn’t do

Does not legalize cannabis federally

Does not reschedule recreational cannabis — it stays Schedule I

Does not affect sentences of people incarcerated for cannabis

Does not automatically change workplace drug testing policies

Does not permit interstate commerce

Does not create home grow rights

Does not decriminalize cannabis or expunge records

Not to let perfect stand in the way of good, but only rescheduling medical and not recreational is fucking stupid. It's the same shit, just reschedule it all.

It's a step in the right direction, and opens up the possibility of much wider medical research, but "slightly less illegal" is still illegal.

All this will do is allow big pharma a piece of the pie
