My personal issue with how legal pot has played out is I have no interest in becoming a patron of these lifestyle shops for a variety of reasons. I also don't want my ID to be scanned for buying something still federally illegal. If I could occasionally buy marijuana products at the grocery store as part of my normal shopping, no different than my occasional purchase of whiskey or wine, then I would have at least bought legal weed a few times since it was legalized here in CA. Even if it were relatively expensive. Instead, today I'm far more likely to either not acquire any marijuana products at all (it's been years already) or buy some from the guy on the street who might also have shrooms.

You could just have a friend get it for you from the store. Who the hell knows what's in the stuff off the street corner or who's blood had to be spilled to get it to you.

  Its pot, not crack. There's nothing to gain from tainting it. Most of the black market stuff comes from legal states too.

In Washington you have to show ID to prove you’re over 21, but nothing is scanned.

  The law doesn't require retailers to scan IDs, but many of them do, in my experience.

    Yep, these scans are a forcing function to prevent underage sales, many POS have this feature, maybe even tied to a loyalty program
