It's not like when they raise the speed limit on a road they go back two years and reimburse (expunge) everyone who got a speeding ticket along that stretch of the road.
You choose to break the law and those were the consequences. At the very least it will be treated as even more of a misdemeanor then it would be if the choose not to legalize it.
