Sedating
Induces heavy sleepiness in the user. Sedating is a tier-2 effect that adds +26% of the product's base value to the sell price and contributes 0.000 addictiveness to the customer. Like all effects it stacks with the others already on a product, up to the 8-effect limit, and it can be mixed onto any product in the game.
Which Ingredient Adds It
Exactly one ingredient carries Sedating in the v0.4.7 data:
| Ingredient | Price | Unlocks at | Value on OG Kush |
|---|---|---|---|
| Flu Medicine | $5 | Hoodlum (tier 4) | $44 |
On a $35 OG Kush bud the ingredient pays for itself as long as Sedating is worth more than its $5 cost — which at +26% of base value it is on every product except the zero-bonus ones.

Transformations
Mixing does not only append effects — under v0.4.7 rules an ingredient first applies its transformation table (if-effect-present → replace-with) to the effects already in the bucket, and only then adds its own default effect if there is room. That is exactly how Sedating can appear on a product even when no ingredient carries it: another effect gets converted into it mid-mix. The full 114-rule table is derived from the game's own mix-map data and every recipe on this site runs it. Where Sedating can appear without mixing: it is the initial effect on Granddaddy Purple, straight out of the bag.
Price Multiplier
Sedating adds +26% of the base value. Because the bonus scales with the product's base price, the same effect is worth a different dollar amount depending on what you mix it onto:
| Product | Base price | Sell price with Sedating | Value added |
|---|---|---|---|
| OG Kush | $35 | $44 | +$9 |
| Meth | $70 | $88 | +$18 |
| Cocaine | $150 | $189 | +$39 |
Full formula: sell price = base × (1 + the sum of every effect's bonus), rounded to the whole dollar — the same math the mixing calculator runs for any ingredient chain.
