That wouldnt happen.. If somebody goes to jail for possession of weed, and then weed is made legal, that person would still have to serve the rest of their sentence, because weed was illegal at the time that they were caught in possession of it. The change in law wouldnt be retroactive - people still broke the law when the law was in place...
