That said, if you broke the law, you should face the consequences of your actions. if the law later changes, tough shite. I don't feel bad for someone who is imprissoned for breaking the law, even if that law law later changes


So which law do we follow? Federal or State?

Federals are not going to do anything about it so I would go with state. Back to the OP though. Anyone that is in prison now in Colorado for marijuana possession surely were in possession of more than is now legal (up to 1 ounce, I believe). No one goes to prison for possessing less than an ounce even here in Mississippi. I suspect those in prison that broke the old Co law would have broken the new law too. So, they get to stay in jail.
