Best Meth Mix in Schedule 1
Meth is the highest-volume hard drug in Schedule 1: a unit costs $50 to produce, lists at a $70 base price, and — unlike the weed strains — carries no initial effect, so all 8 mixing slots are open for profit. That makes meth the cleanest product to optimize: every percentage point you stack goes straight onto the $70 base.
The best meth mix in Schedule 1 ends with Zombifying, Electrifying, Bright-Eyed, Thought-Provoking, Long faced, Jennerising, Tropic Thunder and Spicy — a 4.7× multiplier selling at $329 per unit for $45 of ingredients: $214 of mixing profit per unit, nearly eight times the $27 that the best single ingredient (Horse Semen) manages. The engine is the transformation chain: Gasoline's Toxic is worthless until Cuke converts it into Euphoric-grade value, and later ingredients keep converting what's already in the bucket. The recipe, the order and the math are all below.

Who Buys This Mix
