Meth — Collect, Cook & Sell

Meth is a quick chain — collect raw meth, package it into pouches, and sell for $500 cash. Everything happens at the Meth Lab, so there's no travel between collect and cook.

Overview

• Type: Collect → package → sell
• Final product: meth_pouch (optional refine → meth_shot ×5)
• Best sell: $500 cash (Meth 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	Collect and craft are metres apart inside the Meth Lab in La Mesa, and the dealer is a short drive away in the same part of the city.	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.

Step-by-Step

What You Get & Where to Sell

Product	Spawn code	Sell price
Meth Pouch	meth_pouch	$500 cash (Meth Dealer)
— via NPC/corner	meth_pouch	$200–400 markedbills

Two Ways to Sell

1. Static dealer — fixed price, clean money. Drive to Meth Dealer 143.5, -1857.8, 24.4 and sell meth_pouch 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)	lighter $15 — never consumed
Cost per pouch	pouch_bag $5 (+ syriange $5 only if you make shots)
Time per pouch	≈ 30s collecting meth_raw ×10, then a 12s lv2 craft
Sell price	$500 cash at the Meth Dealer
Profit per pouch	≈ $495 once the lighter is paid off

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 meth_shot 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

• Crafting with fewer than ten raw. The recipe needs meth_raw ×10 exactly — start the collect over and you have wasted the walk.
• Making meth_shot before selling. The dealer buys meth_pouch; the shots are consumables and cost you a syringe.

Tips

• Collect and craft are both at the Meth Lab — no travel between them.
• Grab a full ×10 of raw before crafting so you don't waste trips to the lab.

FAQ

How much does a Meth Pouch sell for?

$500 clean cash at the Meth Dealer (143.5, -1857.8, 24.4), matching weed, spice and flakka.

Where is the Meth Lab?

In La Mesa. Collect meth_raw at 1032.5, -1595.4, 14.3 and craft the pouch at 1026.5, -1595.2, 14.6 — the two points are metres apart.

How long does a meth run take?

About 42 seconds of actual work: ten raw meth at three seconds each, then a 12-second lv2 craft. Everything else is driving.

Why is meth good for city players?

Because it is the only $500 chain where collect, craft and dealer all sit inside the city. Weed and Spice pay the same but drag you across the north map.
