请教一个比较句的语法问题

今天FORBES上看来的.

Currently, he said, some patients feel more at risk with a pot plant sitting in their backyard than they do buying marijuana from drug dealers.

请问"they do buying"如何理解,谢谢!

"they do" means "they feel at risk", "do" is parallel with "some patients feel more at risk".

以下是引用tiger1234在2004-7-10 3:12:00的发言：

"they do" means "they feel at risk", "do" is parallel with "some patients feel more at risk".

oh, thanks

那么"buying marijuana from drug dealers"在这里做状语?

Yeah I guess; I'm not very good in translating English grammar terms to Chinese.
