I mean ok, but that doesn’t mean anything if it’s also still illegal at the federal level. Federal > state > local laws.

It means something! Cannabis is still illegal federally, and yet we have dispensaries. It's not perfect but it's not nothing.

Fed will likely go the same route it has with states that legalized Marijuanna - they will no longer pursue charges for simple possession.

It means plenty. It means state and local police/courts will treat possession much differently. If you get caught by the FBI, you're still screwed, but that is not the case for 99% of people.

Decrimilized at the state level does nothing for the federal level.
