There are plenty of sources supporting the recommendations against the Schedule I, and the phrase "decriminalized or legalized in the majority of states" adds some confusion (legal in a majority?) when we can simply give the real and current number in the same amount of text. - As another side comment; the lead could be significantly bigger to include more information, since per WP:MOSLEAD: " may be the only portion of the article that they read."
