dab - Best sell: $400 cash (Dollar Pills)
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 |
burnerphone |
Only if you want to sell to NPCs on the street with /startsell. The static dealer buys without it. |
— |
| A vehicle | Chemical Lab (north-east desert) to the Oxy Lab (city) to Dollar Pills (Grapeseed). | 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.

What You Get & Where to Sell

Two Ways to Sell
1. Static dealer — fixed price, clean money. Drive to Dollar Pills 591.1, 2744.9, 42.0 and
sell dab for $400 cash. The price never moves, there is no minigame, and the sale
itself does not generate a police alert. This is the reliable route.
2. Street selling — /startsell, dirty money. Carry a burnerphone, run /startsell, and NPC
customers walk up to you. Each sale is 1–3 units at a random $200–$400, paid in markedbills
— the drug pack's dirty currency. That is not the same black_money the robbery pack pays out, so
the two launder separately. /stopsell ends the session.
Street selling is slower per unit, but it is the only way to generate markedbills:
- Some customers refuse the sale and walk off.
- Some try to rob you instead of paying.
- A sale can alert police and sheriff — dispatch drops a blip on you that stays live for about a minute, so move on after a run of sales.
- Selling works anywhere on the map, not just inside a marked zone, so pick somewhere quiet.
💰 Cost vs Reward
| Amount | |
|---|---|
| Setup (one-time) | $0 for the craft — a bong and lighter only if you plan to use it |
| Cost per run | $0 — chemicals ×5 are collected free |
| Time per run | ≈ 30s of collecting and cooking, plus the drive |
| Sell price | $400 cash at Dollar Pills |
| Profit per unit | $400 — pure profit on the sell side |
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
dabrestores 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), andantidote$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
- Trying to use
dabwithout abong. It is a bong item — no bong, no effect. - Making a special trip. The Oxy Lab also cooks Oxycodone, Opium and LSD — plan one visit, cook several chains.
Tips
- Consumed via bong (needs
bong+lighterto use).
FAQ
How much does DAB sell for?
$400 clean cash at Dollar Pills (591.1, 2744.9, 42.0), the same fixed price as oxycodone, angel dust, x-pills and fentanyl pills.
Where is the DAB lab?
The Oxy Lab at 880.1, -1134.1, 25.8 — the shared hub that also handles opium, oxycodone and LSD.
How do you use DAB?
It is consumed through a bong, so you need a bong plus a lighter in your inventory. Without both, the item does nothing.
Is DAB better than Oxycodone?
They are identical on paper — both take chemicals ×5, both are a 15-second lv1 cook, both sell for $400, and both cook at the Oxy Lab. Pick whichever craft point you are standing closest to.
