The person who sold the poison to Romeo was "The Apothecary."
Romeo thinks Juliet is dead Doesn't want to live without her The apothecary is poor, gets paid
At first, the apothecary was not going to sell Romeo the poison because to do so was against the law and punishable by death. But Romeo convinced him by saying that he was so poor and starved that he should just sell it to him anyway. If he didn't sell him the poison, he probably would have died of starvation or disease. Romeo said that either way he might die, so he should sell him to poison to go buy some food. long story short; Romeo uses money to convice him since the apothercaray was a very poor man
This is Romeo's description of the Apothecary whose shop he passes in Mantua. When Romeo decides to commit suicide (because he believes Juliet is dead) he wonders where he can buy poison (selling poison is illegal in Mantua). Then he remembers how poor the Apothecary is, and thinks that a man as desperate as that will be willing to break the law as long as the price is right.
Romeo uses one of the world's most effective arguments: money. He knows the apothecary is poor; that's why he picked him. Because he is poor, the apothecary cannot resist the temptation of a big bribe to break the law relating to poisons.
When Juliet takes the poison given to her by Friar Lawrence her family holds a funeral for her. When no one is in the church mourning over Juliet, Romeo decides to pay her a visit. He talks and gives a big speech then decides to take some poison that he bought from a man. He drinks it and then Juliet wakes up, takes Romeo's dagger and stabs herself and bleeds to death. In the movie with Leonardo diCaprio, they changed it from the play and had her take Romeo's gun and shoot herself in the head.

Romeo says gold is poison to a man's soul because he believes that excessive wealth and material possessions can corrupt a person's character and values. In his view, the pursuit of money can lead to greed, selfishness, and a loss of moral integrity. This reflects Romeo's belief in the importance of true love and emotional connection over material wealth.

The apothecary is a very small character who has four very short lines. Romeo gives a pretty good description of him, which boils down to the fact that he is very poor, desperately poor. His shop is full of unsaleable items like stuffed aligators and things past their best-before date, which are spread out over the shelves to cover up the fact that he cannot afford new stock, and has been trying to collect it himself from the wild. All we know about his character is that he is essentially a good man, but his desperate condition induces him to do something which he knows to be wrong. He sums this up neatly in the phrase "my poverty but not my will consents."
Benvolio is Romeo's cousin. Lord and Lady Montague are Romeo's parents. Balthasar is Romeo's "man" or servant. Obviously, Juliet is Romeo's wife.
