Well, I assume that people in jail and records would remain intact. I don't think people got out in Colorado or Washington, and I can't think of a many times when a law was enacted retroactively. But I would disagree with you and hope otherwise. It's pointless, and a burden on the system, not to mention, morally grey against the people who were convicted of the crime.
