A quick definition of procuring agent:
A procuring agent is someone who gets things for someone else. They can be authorized to act on behalf of another person or company, and they can be anyone who is capable of doing the job. They might get drugs for someone or buy goods for a company. Sometimes they are called commissionaires.A more thorough explanation:
Definition: A person who obtains drugs on behalf of another person and delivers the drugs to that person.
Example: John asks his friend Mike to buy drugs for him. Mike goes to the dealer and buys the drugs, then delivers them to John. In this scenario, Mike is acting as a procuring agent for John.
This example illustrates the definition of a procuring agent as someone who obtains drugs on behalf of another person. The procuring agent does not sell, barter, exchange, or make a gift of the drugs to the other person because the drugs already belong to that person, who merely employs the agent to pick up and deliver them.
