drug run

Illegal cargo transport

A drug run is a trip made specifically to obtain drugs.

The phrase usually refers to illegal drugs—someone making a drug run to their dealer—but can also mean a mundane errand to the pharmacy: I need to make a drug run before they close.

In trafficking contexts, it may describe transporting drugs from one location to another.
