💊 Drug Selection by Player Level
| Unlock | Drug | Buy / Sell | Demand | Why |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| L1 | Marijuana | $5 / $10 | 0.70 | Eddie supplies. Starter staple, orders 2–7. |
| L6 | Ecstasy | $7 / $10 | 1.50 | Highest demand in game. Biggest orders (2–9). |

| L16 | Cocaine | $25 / $45 | 0.60 | Best per-unit margin (+$20). Low demand. |
| L20 | Heroin | $17 / $35 | 0.70 | Addict 4.5 — repeat buyers. Cut carefully. |

🧪 Cutting Strategy
The Real Quality Formula
endProductQuality = contentRatio + (contentRatio × 0.2 × Clamp(strengthRatio, 0, 1.5))
- Heavier cuts directly drop
contentRatio→ quality craters - Lighter cuts barely change quality if you pick a high-mixStrengthening filler
- The +0.2 strength bonus is capped at
strengthRatio = 1.5— piling on more mixStr does nothing past that
| Cutting Agent | Toxicity | mixStr | OD Risk | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Baking Soda | 0.0 | 0.9 | None | Safest filler. Slight quality loss (mixStr < 1.0). |
| Sugar | 1.3 | 1.0 | None | Neutral filler. Free. Minimal tox. |
| Salt | 2.0 | 1.0 | None | Adds tiny strength (0.5). Safe. |
| Washing Powder | 9.0 | 1.1 | Low (1–8%) | Above the 3.9 threshold. Scaled OD chance. |
| Paracetamol | 12.0 | 1.3 | 25% flat | At the threshold. Dangerous filler. |
| Ibuprofen | 12.0 | 1.3 | 25% flat | Same risk profile as Paracetamol. |
| Nebilanex | 15.0 | 2.0 | 25% flat | Worst tox after Fentanyl/Acetone. Avoid. |
| Acetone | 25.0 | 3.0 | 25% flat | Strongest mixStr but most toxic substance. |
OD Math
- Below tox 3.9: zero OD chance
- Tox 3.9–12.0: scaled chance
Clamp(((tox-3.9)/3.9)/20, 0.001, 0.08)— max 8% - Tox > 12.0: flat 25% OD per sale
- Clients also get addicted when
addictiveness > 1.0— chance up to 12% per sale

💡 Pro Tip: Build your laundering route alongside your dealing route. Deal in an area,
drop dirty cash at the closest laundering business, move to the next zone. This keeps you under the
$2,500 dirty-cash threshold so police searches can't wipe you out, while pushing daily throughput
toward your tier's max.
