Is it legal to sell weed on the street in states where weed is legal?

Question

Or is it like cigarettes where it's illegal to sell on the street and you can only buy them at the store? Also, if it is still illegal to sell on the street than why is that? What are the lawmakers or whoever afraid of if they legalize the selling of weed or cigarettes on the street? Are they afraid of a spike in crime? Why would the crime rate go up? I heard if you legalize weed less people will smoke it because it takes away the taboo. Wouldn't the same happen if you legalize the selling of it on the street, or would that have a totally different effect?

It's like alcohol.  You have to have a liquor license to sell alcohol commercially.  The government gets part of the selling price as sales tax.  Also, there's the age limit on buying it, same as alcohol.
