Headshops.
They're already there.
Also, medical dispensary's such as they have in America.
The infrastructure is already in place.

Why do you ask?

You are implacably opposed to taking the profits away from organised crime.

No, dispensaries: chemists are different. Walter White was a chemist.

I ask because if you are talking about selling them from a high street shop then you can imagine the cost of insurance and the security that would be needed to lock it up on an evening. I can only imagine anyone thinking of selling legal drugs would become an instant target for both the drug runners and sellers that are in place now and taking a percentage of their business for protection. Try opening up a coffee shop now where drugs have been legalised and selling drugs from these premises, see how far you would get with that.

You've never been in a pub, then.

No need to break into a pub, there are supermarkets which are easy pickings for thieves for that, imagine a shop filled with drugs, now that wouldnt be a target would it surely?

Like a shop that contained bottles of whisky, you mean?

And you think it was not viable to protect them from thieves.

Of course it was but you are more likely to get problems when you are open than when you are closed. Never had an issue.
