Drugs

Drugs are an illegal, but profitable form of money making in Altis.

Drug types
There are four types of drugs:


 * Cocaine
 * Weed/Marijuana
 * Heroin
 * Moonshine

Gathering, processing and selling drugs to a local drug dealer is highly profitable, but highly risky. Processed cocaine and marijuana (processed weed) can be consumed for a "high." This gives the player side effects and can show up on a drug test administered by police.

The police force are always on alert for drug smugglers and may raid an illegal area or search a civilian vehicle if illegal activity or contraband is suspected. Being caught red-handed could lead to a hefty fine or a lengthy jail sentence.

Collecting, processing and selling
There is a cocaine, marijuana and heroin field, and moonshine collection points throughout Altis. This is where players can collect drugs; no special tools required. Simply use the mouse scroll wheel to collect the drugs.

Once the players inventory and vehicle are loaded with the drugs, proceed to the drug processor for the respective drug type. Each drug type has its own processor facility except moonshine. An NPC will be at the processing facility, he will charge a tax for processing, but a licence can be purchased and used indefinitely without taxation.

Once the drugs have been processed, some types can be consumed for a "high" or sold for cash at a friendly neighbourhood drug dealer. Once sold, it is recommended to bank the cash at the nearest ATM and then sync data. Police may periodically question drug dealers if they have had any recent activity. Any player who sold to that dealer recently will be placed on the wanted list for drug trafficking.
