As long as the FDA has it classified as a schedule 1 drug, it -cannot- be made federally legal. Schedule 1 drugs are, by definition, illegal. They are designated as having no medical use at all, under any circumstances. Rescheduling it is part of the process of making it legal on a federal level. Heroin, LSD, cannabis, peyote, and methaqualone (quaaludes) are examples of schedule 1 drugs. They cannot be sold, used, or possessed without breaking federal law.
