Popehat seems to think that the concerns over this are overblown:
Okay. But what does that really mean?
As long as Rohrabacher-Farr remains in every federal appropriations bill, Department of Justice policy is mostly symbolic — the Department of Justice will still be prohibited from spending money on prosecuting people for medical marijuana activities that are legal under state laws. (That doesn't limit prosecutions of non-medical personal use activities, though — but it will be difficult to tease them apart.) And, practically speaking, it's utterly impossible for the Department of Justice to prosecute more than a very tiny fraction of marijuana cases. They don't have the resources.
...
Your main concern will be that businesses and institutions will be slow to support an activity that the citizens of your state have chosen to make legal.
