That is exactly right. It doesn't change state law anywhere. It only gives discretion in getting the feds involved(or not) and not following mandatory Federal minimums.

its bullshit they should at least not fuck with the people with buds

This was nothing more than the President's attempt to placate his critics when it comes to drug policy and score some brownie points. In effect it serves no real purpose and doesn't really change anything. The state can still slap you with whatever they want basically, but now the feds can claim there was no federally mandated minimum. The only decent thing to come out of this is the non violent offenders who were already incarcerated serving federal minimums may get out a bit earlier.

R:
Legalize.
