I love pot and Issue 3 feels gross to me.
The fixation to change the way pot is bought infuriates me. You text a number, meet in a indescript place, exchange awkward words, pay and leave. Then, you share it with your friends. Buying it at a store feels so weird to me. My vision would be like a CSA:have a farmer's co-op grow it, and then have county/city level delivery to a central place (or even home delivery), where you pick up your order (made in advance).
The kind of people you have to interact with in that situation is not only the reason why there is support for issue 3 despite its flaws but also the reason why conservatives support tougher laws against crime and cameras on street corners. Buying it at the store is legitimate, buying it from a gangster is not and never will be. It also carries risks like the seller, typically a second hand seller connected to the mafia or the illegal cartels, adding other ingredients to make it more addictive or stronger/more dangerous for their profit, bringing weapons, or that trick they do where it suddenly costs more in person than on the phone. Stores on the other hand are public places that you don't need some special connection to access.
The fixation to change the way pot is bought is reasonable, the way it stands now you always have to "know" someone, and that someone isn't always a nice honest and upstanding businessman. At one point I was morbidly curious enough to ask "who do I have to know" and of course the response was something along the lines of "you're either in or out, and you're out" (I don't actually remember but being in HS I think they were somehow trying to hurt my feelings).
