Illegal Drugs

Drug runs typically require farming or gathering. The street price varies for each making some illicit substance operations more valuable and worthwhile than others.

The legality of these runs can be reviewed in the Criminal Code or the State Legislature.

Gangs owning the "Drugs" cartel zone request a fee per backpack of drugs processed at static processors.

Drug Trading

Processed drugs can be sold to static traders such as the Drug Dealer or to players.

Drug Slinging

Drug signing operates much like Uber-Eats or Doordash, only you're delivering drugs not food. Weed, meth, cocaine, and moonshine can be divided into smaller "bite-sized" portions for customers around the island. Selling drugs in residential areas will return dirty money and "gang rep" for that turf, where applicable.

Mexican Cigars

Tobacco

Creating Mexican Cigars is the illegal late stage of processing tobacco. The first stages to follow are legal activities:

  1. Harvest tobacco from the tobacco farm fields
  2. Refine the raw leaves at the tobacco processing facility
  3. Craft the tobacco into cigars at the cigar processor

Grading Cigars

You can process your cigars into their Mexican varieties for a fee at the Mexican Cigar Processor.

Lacing Cigars

CIgars can be combined with other drugs to improve their buffs and value. While selling Laced Cigars at Lacy's Market is the best profit, some may smoke their cigars for the perks. Cocaine laces cigars offer a speed boost in return for great thirst. Meth-laced cigars offer a different benefit; the higher the purity of meth used to lace the cigar, the better the profit and perks offered.

Marijuana

Growing Marijuana

To grow Marijuana, you must plant Weed Seeds which can be purchased at Rebel and Drug Dealers. Use your Windows key to plant seeds or assign a hotkey. Wait for the plants to grow and harvest by using your Windows key on the plant.

Rolling Joints

One of the ways to shift your harvest is to roll the unprocessed weed into joints. Rolling joints requires rolling papers which can be purchased at Gas Stations. Combine the buds and papers in your virtual inventory.

Processing Marijuana

Use your Windows key at the Marijuana Processor to start processing your weed. This requires an amount of money per backpack to complete. You will receive processed weed in return which can be sold at Drug Dealers for profit.

Cocaine

Cocaine Shipment

Cocaine arrives at beaches in a red shipping crate and the location is marked by a red zone. To gather cocaine, press "F" next to the container.

Cocaine Baggies

Large quantities of cocaine can be divided into consumer-friendly baggies. Combine the unprocessed cocaine with baggies in your virtual inventory. Baggies can be purchased at gas stations.

Processing Cocaine

Your fistfuls of cocaine can be processed into bricks for bulk sale to Drug Dealers.


Meth

Meth Van spawn.

Pharmaceuticals

Plane crash events offer a great opportunity to steal pharmaceutical drugs; be warned, the surrounding area is a red zone. Using the jaws of life, the wreckage can be accessed to yield a moderate quantity of controlled drugs.

Pharmacies can also be robbed of drug-making resources.

Meth Van

The meth van creates a mobile red zone: players can drive the van to a more secure location before attempting their cook. Pharmaceuticals can be processed into meth inside of the van.

Moonshine

Sugar Cane

The first step of brewing your own Moonshine is growing sugar cane. The stems can be purchased at the farming supplies store and planted by experienced farmers.

Distilling

The sugarcane can be processed at the distillery into Moonshine Rum.

History

Some drug runs no longer exist or have changed over the years.

Mobster & Cartel

Previously, two zones existed which, when captured, would give ownership of different illegal runs and grant the owner fees per backpack processed. You could choose to deny fees, however, and the relevant gang would be informed.

LSD & Magic Mushrooms

Previously, mushroom spores could be sown to grow Magic Mushrooms. These fungi could be processed into LSD or compacted into capsules for sale via Weed Maps. Taking these drugs would result in trippy visuals enjoyed by many.

Heroin

Heroin farmers exploited poppy farms to create opioids. This was a lucrative run; the drug itself provided an HP buff.

Moonshine Mash

In previous updates, you could gather premade mash from a mash farm to refine into moonshine. As of Florida 6.8, Moonshine switched to sugarcane farming.

Cigars

Tobacco and cigars were introduced as part of the Florida update. Quite appropriately, you could craft Cuban cigars in Cuba.
