That still does not change it to being legal, the law is still on the books, and no repeal has passed. It is still illegal, and all it will take is someone plopping into the Exec seat and getting a hair, then it is back to square 1. Legal exposure is kind of like HIV, herpes, or COVID. There is a big difference between "I don't have it", and "It's not an issue right now", wherein the exact state of affairs drastically effects how one moves forward. Until it is off the books /repealed, nothing has changed in the grand scheme of things.

As one of the comments above you suggested, the overton window has shifted. And that's precisely because states have legalized it at the state level. It has become more normalized and more accepted, and it's federal legalization has earned more support because of states legalizing it. The further we dive into states legalizing it, the more pressure is put on the federal government to legalize it precisely because of these grey areas. Because we've reached this point, you're not going to see someone come into the exec seat and target weed. It's just not going to happen. The cat's out of the bag and it's not going back in. So yes, things have changed in the grand scheme of things. This is progress, even if it's a fucked up legal grey area.
