My question is what happens to people who have already been jailed for possession or possession with intent to distribute and the like? Do they just get set free? Would there be lawsuits if so? It's a tough situation.

After all, even if it is decriminalized, what they did was a crime at the time they did it and they have already been sentenced. Without legislation specifically changing that, those sentences were correct at the time and would simply stand as is.
