Wouldn't it realistically have to be descheduled to be recreational under the DEA though?

The DEA doesn’t determine criminalization, only enforcement. That legislation is written by Congress.

The DEA approves the rescheduling or descheduling, but not decriminalization.

Well, to be more specific it would be the Controlled Substance Act. But, the intention of my comment was to highlight that any substance scheduled couldn't really be considered "recreational" to the federal government.

That’s true. Decriminalizing without descheduling wouldn’t help.
