Grow your own, become ungovernable.
Grow your own, get arrested, go to jail, become unemployable.

He doesn't have a chance to do anything because he is the president, not a majority of congress.
He could blanket pardon marijuana offenders and direct the DEA to reschedule marijuana, or deschedule it altogether. He has the authority to do both.

Lincoln didn't have a chance to end slavery either but found a way to get it done... even without immunity to do virtually anything, as an official act of the President, to compel cooperation.
Lincoln kind of ended slavery, but only in a territory he was at war with. He never actually did anything through standard political means. In fact he wasn't even opposed to slavery, he just used abolition to help preserve the union. The true end of slavery in america occurred with a constitutional amendment.
