Yes, and that you don't know is a statement about the shitty state of US media, which does not adequately report on what democrats do compared to what republicans say. Because it gives less clicks.

Are there plans to legalize or is it bad luck if your arrested a day after the pardon.

No plans for federal legalization (impossible with this senate anyways), but the pardon applies also to later convicts

regardless of whether they have been charged with or prosecuted for this offense on or before the date of this proclamation

and you can apply for a pardon certificate here: https://www.justice.gov/pardon/presidential-proclamation-marijuana-possession

"on or before" doesn't include after.

Pretty cool it also applies to later convicts. A bit weird though that something is remains criminal by law but you can apply for a pardon certificate.

The modern quality standard for news reporting seems low almost everywhere. I was only really exposed to US media on reddit but other times a US president only has to sneeze for something to be reported and imitated worldwide.
