Schedule 1 drugs are those deemed to have no medical use and have an extremely high likelihood for abuse. They are the first target for the DEA and have no legal use status (cannabis currently gets around this due to administration level memos to not interfere with state law, but that's all)

Schedule 3 are those with accepted medical usage and a low or moderate likelihood for abuse. They need to be prescribed and need a prescription no older than 6 months to fill.

Essentially, if cannabis is moved to schedule 3, it becomes medically legal in all 50 states that don't have specific laws outlawing its use (I don't know if any of those exist). It's a major step towards legalization and the biggest you can make without a law.
