Drugs and Los Santos

[Roguish]

The Drug System is cool by far, don't get me wrong. It's the amount and rareness of it. We are in Los Santos, portrayed as California.

 My Questions

 

1. Where are the Weed Farms?

    1. Legal grower RP?

2. Why are there only small amounts being distributed? You have dealers getting weed seeds, that only grow up to 100 grams of Weed, and that has to last them a month. (Guestimating #s) - Someone can correct me on these numbers, but I'm sure I am not far off. To where he is a top distributor, but only able to sell ounces at a time. And he is also forced to disburse it through multiple channels of factions, leaving him to give only between 1-2 Ounces Per Faction.

- This limits anyone trying to RP a wholesaler, there is literally no wholesaler RP, unless you hoard the drugs you buy. Where is the wholesaler RP? It's Los Santos, we're in California, the Weed Dealers are supposed to be selling Pounds at a time. Not ounces, it makes no sense. At one point in Los Santos, people we're selling Pounds weekly at a time. But Los Santos has squeezed the amounts they have put out, and it makes no sense. 

 

3. You now have, probably always have had people trading guns for drugs, which makes no sense. In the Real World, you selling the guns bc you want money, likewise with drugs. We have lost the motivation of money in illegal dealing. 

4. You have scheme holders and such only getting 100 grams of Cocaine, and main Distributors getting less than a Kilo of Coke and having to disburse that for a whole month. OR I know of Factions who do have access to 1000 grams of drugs monthly. BUT, what they don't realize is, I have to sell 250 Grams to A Crew, B Crew, C Crew, and D Crew. Now they break that down into selling smaller ounces and ounces out. And then it comes to a point where they say, OK if I sell 500 Grams to 1 Faction. I only have 500 left to work with such and such. Like it's just not enough. And I know the people of the community feel me, that it isn't just enough drugs circulating. If there is, people are just hoarding the drugs to collect, because quite frankly they have to in their RP Sense. How you gonna have a leader of a big organized crime group, only have access to 500 grams of such and such work monthly. It's backwards, messing up the realism affect of climbing up the ladder. 

 

I pose this question, why can't we raise the amounts in Los Santos? It's like petty crime at this point. I have not heard of a big drug bust on LS, to where they've found 2 Kilos, 5 Pounds of Weed etc in a dwelling. Those numbers probably don't even exist on this server. (Again, unless he has been hoarding for months to obtain and collect this amount.) 

 

What is so wrong with a boost in the illegal economy? Weed Dealers get 5 Pounds and work their way out. If you have the ability to grow seeds? Realistically speaking, you will never catch a Weed Dispenser, breaking down a Pound and selling it by Half Oz, and Oz'. It's unheard of.

Because weed is still not legalized. I tried doing that on my Senator character, but I was told by other members of the Senate they won't vote yes on it because it inconveniences them on their LEO characters.

Pin pointed the biggest problem illegal characters and factions are lacking on right now-. It'll definitely bring in decent RP into the field with more work and ideas for trapperz and also the Police.  This could be fireeee. 💯

I'm pretty sure it was already voted for a couple of years back but management shut it down for whatever reason. So much for IC development, huh?

We need more.

weed and codeine need to be available in excess. I say codeine as well because it comes in bottles of 4 fl oz and 16 fl oz and a cup to get you high is like 1-4 fl oz or "lines." its kinda goofy seeing ppl sell 1 codeine and call it a whole bottle, right? I don't sell 1 gram of weed and call it an ounce

Might be the case, but they approved it this time around. But unfortunately some people have different plans.

1) Think its been answered
2) There are wholesalers for weed, it's an IC thing to find them 0.0

3) I agree on this, a year ago it was difficult to get guns, now it seems to be guns are a dime a dozen but trying to get any kind of drug is impossible.

4) The main problem I have with this, when trying to hand out drugs to "your own faction" regardless of the source is everyone wants to be the "plug" and do a "good deal for the homies" very rarely do you get people selling drugs for a profit that you would do realistically, which means it doesn't matter how much you hand out, people will sell it in less then twenty four hours, because people refuse to pay anything other than slighlty above cost for drugs, and those selling are either a) terrible sales people b) too scared to walk away from  a deal.

Personally, I'd like to see Drug HP removed from the game, but keep the addiction mechanic because I see far too many criminal rpers taking drugs for drug hp with little too no RP around, it and its effects, leading to this weird demand everyone seems to have over drugs.

I agree somewhat. Factions buy/sell guns and drugs to one another based on seemingly who just received their supply drop. People need drugs so badly they won't even test the quality; simply paying the same amount for low quality drugs as high quality drugs because there really isn't enough to go around.
