drug trafficker
Illegal substance dealer
A drug trafficker is a person who illegally transports and sells controlled substances, typically in large quantities.
The term implies organized criminal activity rather than small-scale dealing: The cartel's drug traffickers moved cocaine across the border.
Law enforcement distinguishes traffickers from users or street-level dealers based on the scale of their operations.
