Well again it sounds like an extreme overgeneralization. The "drug trade business is extremely dangerous." Okay, but the guy who buys a few pounds off a bigger dealer and then sells to some select clientele at a gas station lets say, is that guy dangerous? You just can't really generalize like you are doing. There's a boatload of difference between organized crime importing or creating hundreds of thousands of dollars of harder drugs like heroin, cocaine, etc and your basic pot dealer who only deals with a few pounds and deals to people he/she's met.
I dunno, it just seems like these generalizations scream a bit of ignorance about the whole thing. Have you met many small time pot dealers? Have you met many big time heroic/cocaine/meth dealers? Have you met importers, organized crime, cooks, etc?
I'm still curious how meeting some small time pot dealer at a public place and grabbing an amount that wouldn't get me jail time would be a serious risk to my family and/or job. That just sounds like a lot of paranoia or misunderstanding of how things work.
