I like these changes. They did feel quite overpowered

I think Adderall should've stayed at 30%. Now it's totally dead content, who would sacrifice 2 cokes for a +3% INT gain.

Also combat drugs' prices are now too high for the limited effect they have.

tottally agree on that one, it went from nice to useless. as a new players i see no point using it now. the 30% was like a good ways to up int, stacking to 1k + spamming it now there is no point as coke will give you more gain than that

i think the changes are nice! could possibly make adderall 5%

Thinking from a new player perspective, let's say you have 200 energy and 6 coke to put into a concentrated daily INT training session, that's 500 energy (point refills are pretty expensive atm)

At +3% and 6 hours, you are sacrifice 100e energy to gain 15e. It's totally useless. Even at +5% it's 25e.

It should at minimum match the energy lost which at 6 hours cd would be +20% otherwise it's totally dead content.

Drug & Special Stock balance pass

I have tuned Cannabis, Hustle, Adderall, Narcan, and several combat stims based on early feedback. Short version below — live numbers are always what you see in-game at the Pharmacy.

---

Cannabis

• Still shaves 30 minutes off an active Job.
• Fail chance is now +10% for 45 minutes (was 15).
• Each extra dose stacks the fail chance and extends how long it lasts — spam doesn’t clear the debuff when the job ends.

---

Hustle Pills

• Job success, rewards, and experience: +10% → +25% (still 6 hours, still −20% combat stats).
• Rewards now correctly include robbery supply hauls (Agave Hearts, fertilizer, coca paste, construction mats) — not just cash.

---

Adderall

• University INT gains: +30% → +3% for 15 minutes (still stacks).
• Drug cooldown added per use: 1 hour → 6 hours.

---

Narcan

• Same OD effect (30% of OD strength + remaining OD/Drug cooldown when you have an active Overdose).
• Medical cooldown: 1 hour → 6 hours.

---

Combat stims (power down)

Durations, Cannabis costs, and stacking rules are unchanged. Magnitudes:

• Rage Injector — +60% Strength, 10% haymaker (was +150% / 30%)
• Sprint Serum — +50% Agility (was +100%)
• Bulwark Shot — +50% Defence (was +100%)
• Focus Stimulant — +60% Accuracy, 10% glancing blow (was +150% / 30%)
• Adrenaline Shot — +80% Agility, −50% Defence (was +125% Agility)

Combat Stim and Painkillers are unchanged in this pass.

Cannabis

Changing the debuff duration to 45 minutes while making it stack makes it not appealing to me. Cannabis take valuable cd from cocaine usage. Please make it worth it to use instead of cocaine. From a new player perspective, robbery jobs are the only way to earn money while cocaine energy being very crucial to them. Nerfing cannabis from being very good to good is okay because it was OP, but the 45 minutes with stacking timer puts them in a weird position for a new player.

Also the Adderall has gone being nice to useless catagory. Booni has explained the reason perfectly.

I think both decrease in int gain and increase in drug cd timer is pushing it towards being useless. Maybe keep it 6hrs but increase it back to +30%?

I agree with boonie. Adderall should have stayed at 30%

45min debuff is fine...just dont stack. Weed is easy to make. For something so common such a low debuff timer is weird.

Coke has 3hr debuff. This having 45mins is fine...maybe 30mins would be perfect. But 15 is too low

Agree on Cannabis as well. Stacking both in time and effect makes sense to avoid heavy spamming, but 45 mins of effect makes it unviable on a lot more job.

You can use Cannabis sustainably with this new update (one per job) without accumulating crippling debuffs on anything that is the reduction time + debuff time. With 30 + 15 that included P10 Construction plus GTA and coke in the process of being prestiged.

With 30 + 45 only Transport Drugs and Blackmail/Hacking are left, removing all robberies except construction up to P1. Robberies being the most popular jobs, that's a big cut.

It works against the purpose of the update, to provide a meaningful alternative to coke.

I'd say keep it stacking in effect and time to avoid spamming (which to be fair was a bit weird, akin a bit to time travel) but don't change the 15 min timer.
