approaches the subject, once in office.

If he can make the distinction between black market cannibis and industrial hemp fiber, he may have a chance.

If he can frame the history of the importance of hemp to this country, prior to the 1939 "reefer madness" hysteria, including the government's reliance on it during WWII, (the government suspended prohibition of industrial hemp manufacture for the war effort) then he may be successful.

If he can get endorsements from leading scientists around the world, then he may have a chance.

As I said in my original post, it would take political courage, but the time to act is in his first administration.
