Colorado votes to legalize Marijuana?

The law does not work that way. People who are in prison now had no legal right to sell drugs when they were convicted. Convictions for breaking the laws that were on the books would not simply disappear with the passage of a law making it legal. If you were caught driving 65 in a 55 mph zone and a week after you paid the fine, the limit was raised to 65, would you expect to receive a refund and have points against your license erased?
