The drug trade stays well away from only the threat of accidental discovery. Probably safe from them if you stick to maintained trails and the PCT. Its not like they want a lot of people to know what they are doing.

You will probably really NOT be solo on most well traveled trails and the tributary feeds to the PCT.

The chance of meeting a strange person decreases the farther away from the parking lot you get. Your greatest risk of injury from a fellow human is probably not more than a mile from where you are sitting reading this.

Relax and be peaceful and enjoy the company of those that you meet along the way. There are very good odds they are very much like you in habits, emotions and personality and will love to tell you their stories and want to know about you as well.

In all my years I have never met a more gregarious group of people willing to help if you have a problem.

Except for once in a while there is this guy with a bloody hook.....
