> It's still illegal to sell it

No, under the actual measure proposed, as stated in the source article, it would no longer be illegal under state law for adults 21+ to sell it.

I was on mobile and these sites are awful to read on it so I didn't see that detail. I was going off of the bill that Arnold signed for Cannabis decriminalization that made it still an infraction to have it/use it/sell it but not lead up to a year in jail like the current system will do to a mushroom user.

I am not sure I agree with this proposal unless they make it as an infraction to buy and sell it. (not a misdemeanor and certainly not a felony)

That never happened. A decriminalization bill passed one Assembly committee when Schwarzenegger was governor, but it didn't leave it an infraction (it had a system of commercial license for growing and selling), and neither it nor any other made it out of the legislature to his desk.
