If you don't agree with that then I would ask you this, if you had a child, would you want them to hang out with the little drug dealer at the store?
Unfortunately the answer is yes to all of these questions

Hang on... before you were saying that buying pot puts your job, family, etc etc in jeopardy.
Not at all when your line of contact is some young runabout who deals in small denominations. He probably makes peanuts and has no idea where the stuff comes from either.
You think some big time king pin is going to come after me for buying a gram of pot? What, I didn't pay the $10 price tag and he's going to send some goons after me? Hahahaha. No, sorry... you're mistaken.
I can actually wrap my head around Captain Crunch's point though. Basically one supports the other etc etc. If you hold yourself to strict standards where you don't want a penny of your money going to "questionable" characters, then yeah you want to avoid the whole thing.
