That should have been done the second it was legalised (don't get me started on before then and who these laws were written to target in the first place), waiting this long is nothing to be proud of, it's bare minimum shit..

Marijuana is still classified as a schedule 1 drug and remains federally illegal.

May not be for long. Process has been ongoing to reschedule it (likely to Schedule III):

There are bills to reschedule or deschedule it every year, every one so far has failed. As of today, marijuana is federally illegal, thus any federal criminal charges stand unless otherwise pardoned/commuted.

Federal agencies have been asked to reduce their amount of arrests for simple, nonviolent possession, but there's still plenty of people getting freshly charged at both the federal and state level today.
