I think it highly depends on 1) the severity of the law of your country, 2) the demand, 3) where you live (how many gangs are out there, how dangerous it is ..etc.).
Also, selling drugs doesn't imply selling hard drugs, which in many countries (in Europe at least) is the real "reason" to worry.
The money they make in 1-2 days, depending on what they sell, is way above an average salary (again... talking only about Europe). 1 or 2 days of selling marijuana and maybe cocaine in "good" places (of course, not in the middle of nowhere). So, why wouldn't someone do it, instead of wiping people's asses or cleaning toilets?
