Probably won't even take a decade. My state already legalized it last year:
In 2020, voters in the U.S. state of Oregon passed Ballot Measure 109, allowing the "manufacture, delivery and administration" of psilocybin, a naturally occurring psychedelic prodrug. While psilocybin remains illegal nationally, the passage of the law made Oregon the first U.S. state to legalize the drug.
ETA:
The chief petitioners behind the bill were Sheri and Thomas Eckert, both therapists who had been working for years to legalize psilocybin because of its potential benefit for people struggling with conditions including depression, anxiety, and addiction.
