I agree there are many better proposals than RO, there's OTEP, ROC and others..... but as you say, for any of these others to pass it is going to take a similar effort. In the mean time, RO will stop people from losing their license over possession of a joint, will stop police from the "I smell marijuana search", will allow you to grow your own plants. I have said from the beginning that this is the worst proposal of them all but do you wait for the perfect proposal to come along or do you take what you can get and then try to build on that. To me, voting against it is like wanting a new car and not being able too afford it, so instead of buying something to get you by till you can afford what you want, you wait and walk everywhere.....what happens if you can never afford it? I don't know, just my opinion homebrewer.
