CPA licensing is done by state. I think most if not all states don't give licenses to felons. Have you tried to get it reduced rather than expunged? (Or was it a lot, or near a school.. )
You could study/work at accounting for now and also work on changing marijuana laws.
It couldn't hurt, because you could start your own business eventually, and the knowledge will be good to have.
