Adderall — Collect & Cook (Buff Drug)

Adderall is a usable buff drug rather than a money-maker — it gives a stamina/health boost (+20 armour/health). No static dealer buys it.

Overview

• Type: Collect chemicals → cook → use
• Final product: adderall (usable buff)
• Sell: none — it's a consumable

Requirements

What	Why you need it	Where
Skill-check minigame (lv1)	Every process step runs a skill check. Miss it and the craft doesn't complete — you keep the inputs, you lose the time.	At the lab
A vehicle	The Chemical Lab sits far out in the north-east desert and the Pharmacy is up past Paleto — this is a long drive either way.	Any car — the route is the real cost

The lv1–lv5 tag on each recipe is minigame difficulty, not a character level you have to grind first — lv1 is a single easy skill check, while lv5 stacks an easy, a medium and two hard ones. A brand new character can start this chain today; what actually gates you is travel time and the police.

Using It — Effects, Addiction & Overdose

Every drug in the pack is also usable, and that side of it matters if you are roleplaying a user rather than a cook:

• Using adderall restores health and armour, cuts stress, and buffs run speed, with a screen effect and a changed walk style while it lasts.
• Each use adds addiction and tolerance. As those climb you start losing health, and you risk passing out or vomiting at the worst possible moment.
• Overdose triggers at 10 uses of the same drug, or 5 uses across mixed drugs.
• Cures are sold at the Corner Store: acamprosate $500 (light detox), lofexidine $3,000 (heavy detox), and antidote $3,000 for an overdose.
• Police carry a drugtestkit. Whatever you took stays in your blood for about 5 minutes after use — long enough to fail a roadside test.

Common Mistakes

• Cooking a stack of adderall expecting to sell it — nothing buys it, and it is not on the street-selling list either.
• Driving out to the Chemical Lab for adderall alone. Collect chemicals once and cook Ketamine or Bath Salts on the same trip.

Tips

• Treat this as a utility/consumable, not an income drug.

FAQ

Can you sell Adderall?

No. No static dealer buys adderall, and it is not on the default street-selling list either. It exists purely as a usable buff, so treat it as gear rather than stock.

What does Adderall actually do?

It is a buff consumable — roughly +20 armour/health along with the stamina lift, plus the stress relief and run-speed buff every drug in the pack applies.

How many chemicals does Adderall need?

Five. chemicals ×5 at the Chemical Lab (3561.7, 3668.4, 28.6, three seconds each), then a lv1 craft at the North Illegal Pharmacy that takes 15 seconds.

Is Adderall worth making at all?

As a money-maker, no. As a pre-fight or pre-heist buff it is one of the cheapest in the game — the inputs are free, you only pay in travel time.
