🌿 Marijuana (Weed) (2 variants)

Cannabis dried flowers, sold in 10g–500g packages. Two strains: Indica and Sativa.

Substances

Substance	Potency	Price	Notes
Cannabis Indica `SUBSTANCE-WEED-IND`	0.83	$900/g (10g pack)	Slower growing, indoor-friendly
Cannabis Sativa `SUBSTANCE-WEED-SAT`	0.91	$1,200/g (10g pack)	Higher potency, outdoor growing

🌱 Growing Cannabis

Cannabis can be grown from seeds or seedlings. Indica grows indoors (Grow Box or Rack), Sativa grows outdoors (Outdoor Pot Box). Growing seedlings first (200s) reveals the plant's sex — female plants yield far more flowers, while male plants produce extra seeds.

Fert Temperature: All plants require 15–30°C (optimal 25°C). Below 15°C = 20% speed loss. Above optimal = 30% speed boost but 50% higher resource cost.

⚗️ Mixing Mechanics & Formulas (how potency & stats work)

Every substance in DDS2 has up to four properties that affect the final mixed product. These are the stats you see on the Substances & Cutting Agents page.

Stat	Game Label	What It Does	Goal
Potency	POT / "Power"	The base strength of a drug substance (0.0–1.0). This is what customers evaluate against the town’s expected potency. Higher potency = better reputation. Cutting agents with a POT multiplier > 1.0 can increase final potency.	Higher is better
TOX	Toxicity	How dangerous the substance is. Directly feeds into the overdose chance formula. High-TOX cutting agents (acetone, gasoline, methanol) are lethal at high mix ratios. Only substances with a TOX value contribute to OD risk — zero-TOX fillers like flour, sugar, and salt do not increase OD chance.	Lower is better
ADD	Addiction	How addictive the substance is. Higher addiction = customers return more frequently for repeat purchases. However, addicted customers are more vulnerable to overdose, so you may need cleaner mixes for repeat buyers.	Higher for profit
STR	Strength / MixSTR	The strength multiplier (mixStrengthening). Values > 1.0 boost the final potency of the mixed product; values < 1.0 reduce it. This is the key stat for cutting agents — it determines whether your filler helps or hurts the product’s perceived quality. The game averages all ingredient STR values weighted by quantity.	≥ 1.0

Potency Calculation

Average Potency = Sum of (each substance’s Potency × grams used) ÷ Total grams in mix

Example: 80g Cocaine (0.89) + 20g Soda (0.0)
  = (0.89 × 80 + 0.0 × 20) ÷ 100 = 0.712 final potency

Each town/zone has a potency expectation. If your average potency exceeds the town’s expectation, your reputation increases. If it falls below, reputation drops. Pure (uncut) drugs always meet expectations — the trade-off of cutting is more volume for lower quality.

Mix Strength Formula

Mix STR Multiplier = Sum of (each ingredient’s STR × its volume) ÷ Total volume

Final Potency ≈ Average Potency × Mix STR Multiplier

Example: 80g Cocaine (STR 1.0) + 20g Cough Syrup (STR ~1.01)
  STR Mult = (1.0 × 80 + 1.01 × 20) ÷ 100 = 1.002
  Potency barely changes — Cough Syrup is a “neutral” filler that preserves quality.

💡 Key insight: Cutting agents with STR ≥ 1.0 (like cough syrup, migraine medicine, ethanol, or tobacco) let you stretch product volume without losing potency. Agents with STR < 1.0 (like baking soda at ~0.9) actively reduce your mix’s perceived quality, even though they’re safe.

💀 Overdose Mechanics (toxicity & OD chance)

Overdoses are calculated per-sale based on the toxicity of your mix and the quantity sold. Only substances with a TOX > 0 contribute to OD risk.

Toxicity Formula

Component Toxicity = Substance TOX × Quantity Sold × Mix Percentage

Average Toxicity = Sum of all Component Toxicities ÷ Total Grams Sold

Toxicity scales with the quantity sold per transaction. Selling 5g is far safer than selling 100g of the same mix. This means larger pack sizes carry proportionally higher overdose danger.

OD Chance Formula

OD Chance = (Avg Toxicity − 0.09) ÷ (0.4 − 0.09) × (0.75 − 0.05) + 0.05

The game clamps toxicity between two thresholds before calculating OD probability:

Threshold	Value	Meaning
Minimum TOX Level	0.09	Below this, toxicity is treated as 0.09 (baseline risk always exists)
Maximum TOX Level	0.40	Above this, OD chance is capped at maximum
Minimum OD Chance	5%	Every sale has at least a 5% OD chance (risk is never zero)
Maximum OD Chance	75%	The worst possible OD rate at maximum toxicity

⚠ Addicted customers are more vulnerable. Even relatively safe products can cause ODs if sold to addicted buyers in large quantities over time. Consider offering cleaner mixes to long-term repeat customers.

⭐ Best Cutting Agents (ranked by safety & effectiveness)

Not all fillers are equal. The best cutting agents preserve potency (STR ≥ 1.0) while keeping toxicity at zero. Here are the cutting agents from the Substances page, ranked by mix safety.

🟢 Tier 1 — Safe & Potency-Preserving (best mixers)

Zero or near-zero toxicity with STR ≥ 1.0. These agents let you stretch product without losing quality or killing customers.

Agent	TOX	POT	ADD	STR	Why It’s Good
Cough Syrup	—	1.01	0.1	~1.0	Zero TOX, slight potency boost, mild addiction. Ideal filler.
Migraine Medicine	—	1.01	0.1	~1.0	Zero TOX, slight potency boost. Same tier as cough syrup.
Tobacco / Powdered Tobacco	—	1.01	0.1	1.05	Zero TOX, STR > 1.0 actively boosts potency. Community favorite for amph mixes.
Vinegar	—	—	—	—	Zero TOX, zero everything. Pure bulk filler — dilutes potency but never kills.

🟠 Tier 2 — Safe Fillers (low risk, dilutes potency)

Zero or very low TOX, but STR < 1.0 or no potency boost. Good for volume but customers may notice reduced quality.

Agent	TOX	POT	ADD	STR	Notes
Flour	—	—	—	—	Cheap, zero TOX. Dilutes potency — good for beginners.
Sugar	—	—	—	—	Zero TOX, zero stats. Pure bulk filler.
Salt	—	—	—	—	Zero TOX. Common in multi-ingredient mixes (flour + salt combos).
Soda (Baking Soda)	0.1	—	—	~0.9	Very low TOX, but STR < 1.0 actively hurts potency. The classic cheap filler.

🔴 Tier 3 — Dangerous (high risk, handle with care)

High TOX, but strong STR multipliers. These can boost potency at the cost of killing your customers. Use in small amounts only.

Agent	TOX	POT	ADD	STR	Warning
Ethanol	0.2	—	0.1	1.05	Moderate TOX but good STR. Usable in small amounts.
Ammonia	0.4	—	—	—	High TOX, no benefits. Used in crack production only.
Acetone	0.7	—	—	—	Very high TOX. Required for liquid mixing — evaporates during crystallization.
Gasoline	0.9	—	—	—	Extremely toxic. Used in cocaine processing, not for cutting.
Washing Powder	0.7	—	—	—	Highly toxic, no upside. Avoid as a cutting agent.

Community-Tested Recipes

Popular mixes reported by the DDS2 community. Results may vary with game updates.

Drug	Recipe	Rating	Notes
Amphetamine	76% amph + 24% soda	Safe	Classic budget cut. Soda’s low STR reduces potency slightly.
Amphetamine	50% amph + 50% powdered tobacco	⭐ Best	Zero TOX, STR > 1.0 preserves potency. No reported ODs.
Amphetamine	77% amph + 12% flour + 11% salt	Safe	Multi-filler approach. Zero TOX but dilutes potency.
Cocaine	80% coke + 20% cough syrup	⭐ Best	Cough syrup’s POT 1.01 and zero TOX preserve quality.

💡 TL;DR for best mixers: Use powdered tobacco, cough syrup, or migraine medicine as your primary cutting agents. They have zero toxicity and STR/POT ≥ 1.0, meaning they stretch your product without reducing quality or risking overdoses. Avoid baking soda if quality matters — its STR of ~0.9 actively lowers potency.
