Drugger is a noun that refers to a person who illicitly sells drugs, particularly narcotics, on the black market. This term is often associated with the illegal drug trade and is used to describe an individual involved in the distribution or sale of drugs in an illegal and clandestine manner.
A drugger is typically involved in the underworld of narcotics trafficking and operates outside the boundaries of legal avenues for drug distribution. They may possess or have access to illegal substances and engage in the exchange of drugs for money. The term drugger can also encompass a wider range of activities related to the drug trade, such as transportation, smuggling, and dealing with customers.
Due to the illegal nature of their activities, druggers often operate in secret, utilizing various means to avoid detection by law enforcement agencies. They may rely on a network of contacts to facilitate the movement and sale of drugs, operating within their own established hierarchy and system. It is important to recognize that druggers are engaged in criminal activities and their actions contribute to the social and public health issues associated with illegal drug use.
In legal and ethical terms, druggers are seen as a menace to society, as their actions perpetuate the cycle of drug abuse, addiction, and the associated criminal activities that arise from it. Their presence and involvement in the drug trade often have negative consequences for individuals, families, and communities affected by drug abuse.
