Moving marijuana from a Schedule I drug to a less-restrictive schedule or legalizing it at the federal level would have meaningful social benefits that exceed any social costs.

My understanding is that the pardoned offense would not be removed from the person's criminal record, but the pardon would appear in addition. I find it hard to say what the expected social benefits (or social costs) of this would be.
