If CA decriminalizes it, everyone would be looking toward the state to see its success or failure. Opponents would try to find any excuse to shut it down whether in CA or other states. So if we can set up guidelines and necessary infrastructure for safe use, both medically and recreationally, it would be better for long term success of psylocybin legalization.
Oregon started issuing licenses to treatment facilities this year. It took a few years to get the infrastructure in place and to get professional therapists trained, but facilities are now opening up for treatment.
And in California, just parts of it. Oakland has outright decriminalization and you can go to smoke shops and buy chocolates. It’s still technically illegal in San Francisco, but every large event, or even day in the park, there’s some guy walking around openly selling mushrooms and joints.

Already legal in Colorado.
Oregon too, as I understand it.
I believe you are correct that they are similarly decriminalized in Oregon although the particulars do differ a bit as I understand it.

Success or failure? It is already been and has been consumed by millions of people for thousands of years. Seems like it is a success to me.
