The gift certificate thing is open to interpretation--frankly, I think the dispensary purchase isn't.  He'd just had a very positive afternoon working and then out bonding with Erin.  He stopped at the dispensary for the same reason she stopped at the supermarket.  As George Malley might say, he wasn't expecting to get lucky, just hoping.

From what we have in the conetext, it would appear that he wasn't aware of what Zenon and Derek were doing in their competition/collaboration/uneasy alliance until he literally tripped over it.

He didn't seek this out, and he's taking time to provide as much pleasure to his partners as he can.  Note, that doesn't seem to be Q's focus, even when he pulls back from the Derek freeway.  Also, it seems that Adrian accepts the responsibility of this network of relationships because Rain tells him there's a threat on the horizon that he needs to help the group face.  Whether Rain is being genuine is another argument, but he seems more resigned to his role than eager for it.  He's certainly not Derek or Q "kid-in-candystore."
