The government is given the task, by a public vote, of forming a process for the legalization of cannabis.  At their own discretion, they create a complex and bewildering system (which some would say is an effort to derail the initiative) and then complain they are too short of staff to carry out the public will? 

Greatly simplify the process and it would be a lot easier to administer, not to mention, do a better job of carrying out the stated goals of the initiative.
