street pharmacist

Illegal drug vendor

Street pharmacist is ironic slang for a drug dealer—someone who sells illegal drugs.

The term plays on the legitimate profession, lending a veneer of respectability to illicit activity: My cousin calls himself a street pharmacist, but we all know what that means.

Often used humorously or as a euphemism.
