How are you defining legal? Ketamine's a schedule III drug in the US. Legal by prescription, not over-the-counter.

Possession of the spores is legal in most states, but the mushroom itself is not.

Don't take what people tell you as truth, I would ask a law maker or simply google the psychoactive substances that are legal in a given state.
Peyote for example is legal to be used by shamans and members of Native American nations as a religious ritual, for everyone else it is a schedule 1 substance. If you can claim your Native American status via your genealogy, then it may be legal for you to take.
Now I wouldn't recommend a mescaline trip. Cause that's one of the most powerful hallucinogens out there. And I thought I was ready when I ate a button of it. But nothing can prepare you for a 36-48 hour long quest into the abyss of your inner being. I used to be a prolific psychonaut. I learned what I could and find that mind altering substances dull my already overcreative neural pathways.
I don’t even know what “becoming legal” even means. Either they are legal or they are not.
I'm assuming the OPs referring to scheduling, from over-the-counter to schedule I: no medical use at all.

I'm growing increasingly spiteful of the "legal" and "social acceptable" positions with each day. Cigarettes are only good for making people rich, and alcohol is very destructive when more than moderate amounts are consumed. Them being "socially acceptable" is no reason to turn a blind eye to the rampant alcohol abuse that occurs on many days throughout the year, but yet people want to demonize pot, psilocybin, and LSD just because they are "illegal" and not the "socially acceptable" ways of getting high, even though they do far less harm than cigarettes (they kill more than everything else combined) and alcohol.
But, then again, our collective social understanding and knowledge of drugs is so appalling and abysmal that very few are cognizant of the fact that so many in society line up like junkies morning-after-morning for their dose of a drug they feel they can't function without, and don't even think of their morning drug as a drug, even though they'll eagerly say "hold on, I haven't had my coffee yet." Now, what do we suppose if someone said "hold on, let smoke a few pinches of pot to calm my nerves?"

I don't know. You can drive while drinking coffee. Can you drive safely while high on marijuana?

That is not, at all, even remotely close to the point I was making. It had nothing to do with what a given drug does, but that it's acceptable to rampantly abuse some drugs while even moderate and responsible usage of others are frowned upon. You can safely smoke a cigarette while driving, but that has nothing to do with the point that tobacco use is socially acceptable, legal, and also so deadly that it kills more people than all other drugs (alcohol, OTC, prescription, and illegal) combined. Rightfully, tobacco should be a schedule 1 drug, but they are in reality highly accessible. You drop some acid and the substance is going into your body. With tobacco, you smoke it, and it's going into your body as well as those around you. But, it's legal, so it's "ok." Alcohol abuse poisons and damages the body, but it's "socially acceptable," even encouraged, to drink until you have thoroughly abused it on certain occasions. Caffeine, albeit a drug of low-to-moderate risk, is addictive, often not thought of when you ask someone about their drug use, and is rampantly abused throughout numerous cultures. In reality, Starbucks is a legal and incorporated drug kingpin, and you'll hear more crickets than anything when it comes to caffeine abuse.

The latest trend is known as "microdosing", and people are doing it at work.

From the article:
"Silicon Valley also has a long history of psychedelic drug use to boost creativity: technology stars Steve Jobs and Bill Gates both famously experimented with LSD."
"LSD now appears to be one of the more commonly microdosed drugs. A microdose of LSD consists of about a tenth of a recreational dose (usually 10-20 micrograms), which is usually not potent enough to cause hallucinations. Instead, it is reported to heighten alertness, energy and creativity."
