Weed Distribution (Lab Run)
Written from the live server data for this feature — locations, recipes and prices are read straight from the robbery setup, not estimated.
Weed Distribution is the easiest job on the illegal menu and the best first crime for a new character. One cheap input, a hidden lab, and a product that street dealers pay good money for. Available from level 1 — you can start it the moment you own an illegal tablet.
Overview
- Type: Illegal menu job — drug lab production
- Level required: 1 (the starting level — no grind needed)
- Where: A hidden weed lab, marked on your GPS when you start the job
- Payout: $500–$2,000 black money on completion, plus all the
packed_weedyou made - Risk: Low at the lab — the risk comes later, when you sell on the street
Requirements
- Level 1 in the illegal menu — i.e. none. This is your entry point.
- The illegal tablet (
illegal_tablet) in your inventory — using it opens the illegal menu. There is no command and no hotkey; no tablet, no menu. - Not police, sheriff or EMS — those jobs cannot run illegal activities.
Required item:
| Item | Spawn code | Where to get | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Plant Spray | plant_spray |
Illegal market (inside the menu) | $100 |
- One
plant_sprayis used up for every unit of weed you gather — buy several before you go. - The illegal market takes cash or bank card only. It will not accept black money, so keep some clean cash for supplies.
- Purchases arrive by drone about 10 seconds after you buy — wait for the bag to drop.
How to Start
- Use the illegal tablet (
illegal_tablet) to open the illegal menu. - Buy your
plant_sprayfrom the illegal market tab first. - Pick Weed Distribution from the job list and start it. A lab is marked on your GPS.
📍 Locations
Weed Labs — the GPS marks one per run:
2566.79, 4273.91, 41.99(Grapeseed hills)1546.72, 2166.50, 78.72(near the prison road)198.93, 2459.08, 55.69(shared lab interior)
Inside the shell lab, the entrance sits at 1065.95, -3183.30, -39.16.
Sell: not at the lab. You keep the product and sell it on the street — see below.
Step-by-Step
- Buy plant spray. Open the illegal tablet → illegal market →
plant_spray. Buy one per unit you intend to make (5–10 is a sensible first run). - Start the job from the menu and drive to the Weed Lab on your GPS.
- Gather. Use a gather station — each one consumes one
plant_sprayand gives youunpacked_weed. There are four gather stations, so a crew can work in parallel. - Package. Take the
unpacked_weedto a packing station to turn it intopacked_weed. There are four packing stations too. - (Optional) Roll. Two rolling stations turn
packed_weedintorolled_weed ×3— but see the warning below before you use them. - Leave the lab to finish the job and collect your $500–$2,000 black money.
- Sell the packed weed on the street with
/startsell(see the next section).
What You Get & Where to Sell It
The completion money is paid automatically. The product is yours to sell.
| Item | Spawn code | What it's for | Sell price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Unpacked Weed | unpacked_weed |
Intermediate — package it | — |
| Packed Weed | packed_weed |
The product you sell | $600–$800 per unit |
| Rolled Weed | rolled_weed |
⚠️ No buyer on the server right now | — |
| Black Money | black_money |
Completion reward — dirty, launder it | $500–$2,000 per run |
Where to sell packed_weed: street dealing with /startsell. You need a
burnerphone in your inventory. NPC customers walk up to you anywhere on the map and buy
1–3 units at $600–$800 each — so a single customer is worth $600–$2,400. Payment is
in black money.
⚠️ Do not roll your weed.
rolled_weedhas no buyer anywhere on the server yet, so rolling destroys the value of apacked_weedyou could have sold. Sell packed.
⚠️ Street selling is where the police risk lives. Almost every sale alerts dispatch. Some customers refuse, and some try to rob you. Sell a few units, move district, sell again.
How much money total? A 10-unit run costs $1,000 in spray and produces 10 packed_weed
worth $6,000–$8,000, plus the $500–$2,000 completion reward. Everything is paid in black
money — take it to Money Wash to make it spendable.
💰 Cost vs Reward
| Amount | |
|---|---|
| Investment (one-time) | An illegal_tablet to open the menu, plus a burnerphone for selling |
| Cost per unit | plant_spray — $100 (consumed every gather) |
| Reward per unit | $600–$800 black money from street sales |
| Reward per run | + $500–$2,000 completion money on top |
| Break-even | Your first sold unit covers six sprays |
| After that | Roughly 6–8× your input cost — the best margin on the illegal menu |
Tips & Common Mistakes
- Buy spray in bulk before you leave. Running out mid-lab means a full trip back.
- Sell packed, never rolled. Rolling has no buyer and throws money away.
- Bring a
burnerphone— without it/startsellwill not run and your product just sits there. - Split your street sales across districts. Selling ten units on one corner is how you get caught.
- Take a crew. Weed has four gather and four packing stations — the most parallel lab in the pack, so a group makes product far faster than a solo runner.
- Remember the market refuses dirty money. Launder some cash at Money Wash before your next supply run.
FAQ
What level do I need for Weed Distribution?
Level 1 — the level every character starts at. You only need the illegal_tablet item to open
the menu, and $100 for a plant spray.
How much does packed weed sell for?
$600–$800 per unit through street dealing with /startsell, and each customer buys 1–3
units, so a single sale can be worth up to $2,400. Payment is in black money.
Should I roll my weed into joints?
No. rolled_weed currently has no buyer on the server, so rolling turns a sellable
packed_weed into something you cannot sell. Keep it packed.
Do I need a burner phone?
Yes, for selling. /startsell requires a burnerphone. The lab itself does not need one.
Is this the same as the Weed drug chain?
No — they are two different systems. Weed (Grow, Pack & Sell) is the farm-to-dealer
chain with a fixed $500 static buyer. This is the illegal menu lab, which uses plant_spray
and produces packed_weed for street sales. You can run both.
