That's something each state will have to decide the Feds (Biden) have already allowed you to be pardoned [1] but a Presidential Pardon only applies to federal crimes so if a state convicted you (quite common!) then it does nothing.
By default, if an action you did was illegal at the time of performance & conviction then you'll remain in prison if the action becomes legal later on and won't be a valid basis of appeal. Your only hope is for a pardon.
