Lean — Buy, Mix & Sell

Lean is the simplest money drug — no growing or collecting. Just buy the ingredients, mix them at the Lean Bar (1-second process), and sell for $500 cash.

Overview

• Type: Buy ingredients → mix → sell
• Final product: lean
• Best sell: $500 cash (Lean Dealer)

Requirements

What	Why you need it	Where
Skill-check minigame (lv2)	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
Supplies	Consumed by the recipe (see the buy list below).	Corner Store -2193.74, -388.87, 12.47
burnerphone	Only if you want to sell to NPCs on the street with /startsell. The static dealer buys without it.	—
A vehicle	Corner Store on the west coast, Lean Bar in the city, dealer just south of it — no fields, no collect points, just three stops.	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 to Buy First

At the Corner Store — -2193.74, -388.87, 12.47:

Item	Spawn code	Price
Double Cup	double_cup	$5
Sprite	sprite	$15
Jolly Candy (need ×5)	jolly_candy	$25 each

📍 Locations

• Process — Lean Bar: 108.2, -1284.2, 29.6
• Sell — Lean Dealer: -10.1, -1827.7, 25.4

Step-by-Step

1. Corner Store — buy double_cup, sprite, and jolly_candy ×5.
2. Lean Bar 108.2, -1284.2, 29.6 — craft lean → double_cup + sprite + jolly_candy ×5 (lv2, 1s).
3. Lean Dealer -10.1, -1827.7, 25.4 — sell lean for $500 cash.

Two Ways to Sell

1. Static dealer — fixed price, clean money. Drive to Lean Dealer -10.1, -1827.7, 25.4 and sell lean for $500 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 — every input is bought fresh
Cost per lean	double_cup $5 + sprite $15 + jolly_candy ×5 at $25 = $145
Time per lean	A 1-second lv2 mix — the fastest recipe in the pack
Sell price	$500 cash at the Lean Dealer
Profit per lean	≈ $355 — the only chain with a real cash cost per unit

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 lean 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

• Buying one set of ingredients. The mix takes one second, so buy ten sets and make ten leans in the time it takes to park.
• Forgetting that jolly candy is ×5. At $25 each that is $125 of the $145 unit cost — it is the whole recipe.
• Assuming lean is free money. It is the one chain with a real cash outlay, so a failed run costs you actual money rather than just time.

Tips

• Purely shop-bought inputs — no field or collect trips.
• Simple and fast, but capped by Corner Store stock and travel time.

FAQ

Why is Lean the easiest drug to make?

Because there is nothing to grow or collect. Every ingredient is bought over the counter at the Corner Store, and the mix is a one-second lv2 skill check at the Lean Bar.

How much profit is Lean?

About $355 per cup: $145 of ingredients against a fixed $500 sale at the Lean Dealer (-10.1, -1827.7, 25.4).

What does Lean need?

A double_cup ($5), a sprite ($15) and jolly_candy ×5 ($25 each), all from the Corner Store at -2193.74, -388.87, 12.47.

Is Lean good for a new player?

It is the fastest to learn but not the cheapest to start — you need $145 in hand per cup. Weed needs only a $5 pouch bag, so start there if you are broke.
