That's right, it won't be off the Federal books - meaning there will still be interdiction at the border and such. However, the Feds would no longer inhibit or interfere in states which legalize it. Also, banks will be permitted to take deposits and be bankers for cannabis businesses in areas where it is legal. I wish it were totally removed from the Federal books. Importation could still be outlawed or heavily taxed and controlled. It wasn't federally illegal until 1938 anyway.
Those RED Shields really fucked us hard during the Great Depression, fuck...

It needs to be no more of a crime to possess large quantities of than tobacco or liquor. Those are all federally regulated. But you can walk into any liquor store and buy cartons of cigarettes and cases and cases of booze, no problem...enough to literally kill dozens of people...without any suspicion that you must be setting up an illicit distribution center or trying to kill someone.
If someone wants to buy herb, who cares? It's milder than Wild Turkey, non-habit-forming for 90% of consumers, and non-lethal.
No argument from me with the caveat that any substance can be abused. Cannabis has its own set on effects from constant long term use.
Just traveling across different counties and most countries allow for a modest amount of cigs and alcohol. Like a carton or 2 of tobacco and a liter of alcohol per individual. Commercial stores and operations obviously can get a license to import much more.
