Opium — Grow Poppy, Pack & Sell

Opium is a grow-heavy chain — you farm poppy tears, refine them into opium, then pack pouches. Both process steps are at the Oxy Lab (shared with LSD, oxycodone and dab).

Overview

• Type: Grow → refine → package → sell
• Final product: opium_pouch (optional refine → opium_joint ×5)
• Best sell: $250 cash (Opium 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	The Poppy Field is out in the north-east, both process steps are at the Oxy Lab in the city, and the dealer is back out in Sandy Shores.	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

Product	Spawn code	Sell price
Opium Pouch	opium_pouch	$250 cash (Opium Dealer)
— via NPC/corner	opium_pouch	$200–400 markedbills

Two Ways to Sell

1. Static dealer — fixed price, clean money. Drive to Opium Dealer 41.4, 3705.1, 40.7 and sell opium_pouch for $250 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
Inputs per pouch	poppy_tears ×30 — 15 tears per opium, and the pouch takes opium ×2
Sell price	$250 cash at the Opium Dealer
Profit per pouch	≈ $245 — the lowest fixed dealer price in the pack

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 opium_joint 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

• Farming opium for income. Thirty poppy tears for $250 is the worst return of any grown chain — Weed pays double for a third of the picking.
• Making a dedicated Oxy Lab trip. Oxycodone, DAB and LSD all finish in the same building — cook them together.
• Selling to the dealer without checking the corner. Street sales roll $200–$400, so opium is one of the few drugs where the corner regularly beats the dealer.

Tips

• Grow-heavy: 15 poppy tears → 1 opium, and 2 opium → 1 pouch (≈30 tears per pouch).
• Both process steps are at the Oxy Lab — the shared hub for LSD, oxycodone and dab.

FAQ

How much does an Opium Pouch sell for?

$250 clean cash at the Opium Dealer (41.4, 3705.1, 40.7) — the lowest fixed dealer price in the pack.

How many poppy tears do you need?

Thirty per pouch. Fifteen poppy_tears make one opium, and the pouch recipe takes opium ×2 plus a lighter and a pouch bag.

Is opium worth farming?

Not for money. It is the heaviest grind for the smallest fixed payout. It is worth running for the opium_joint consumables or if you are already at the Poppy Field.

Where do you process opium?

Both steps are at the Oxy Lab: opium at 885.2, -1134.0, 25.9 and the pouch at 881.4, -1141.9, 25.9.
