In Schedule 1, mixing the best weed, meth, or cocaine can only get you so far. If you’re still hand-delivering baggies while juggling supplier drop-offs and buying ingredients, you’re playing it small.
To move products and rake in profits without filling your inventory, you’ll need dealers. But unlocking and managing dealers isn’t as simple as opening a menu and clicking “hire.”

Leo Rivers

Your first taste of automated distribution starts with Benji Coleman,a recommended dealer by Uncle Nelson who’s living right next door to your motel room.
He’ll ask for a$500 signing fee, and once he’s working, he takes astandard 20% cut fromevery product he sells.Afterward, you’ll need to build good relationships with different people in different regions to discover more dealers.
For example, you’ll need to be friendly with Randy Caulfield so that he’ll recommend Brad Crosby as your new dealer in Downtown.
Best Product To Give To Your Dealers
Once you’ve unlocked Pseudo and startmixing meth with other ingredients, that’s when your finances will take off.
A fullymixed batch with 7 ingredientscan sell for around $200 per piece, or even more depending on your recipe. At this point, it’s worth considering automating your weed production so you may focus on selling the more lucrative products yourself.
Hire a botanist and stick to a weed recipe that yields high profits with minimal mixing. This way, you can supply your dealers more efficiently while dedicating most of your time to perfecting top-tier meth recipes.
Here’s the weed recipe I found to be both the most profitable and the quickest to make:
Most Profitable Granddaddy Purple Recipe
Ingredients (Mix in this order)
Production Cost per 20 Units
Gross Profit per 20 Units
Net Profit (less Dealer’s Cut)
Energy Drink → Paracetamol
Cuke → Banana → Viagor
The ingredient for the first recipe only costs $9, but the end result’s standard selling price is $74/g and to make 20 units of weed, you’re only going to spend $277 (using standard soil and no fertilizer.
Still, you can expect to earn a net amount of $807 for every 4 jars that you send over to the dealer.
The second recipe costs less to create but takes one more ingredient and another mixing step that will net you $1,083 after expenses.
These are the most profitable weed recipes that you can send over to your dealers, but keep in mind though, that if you hire employees such as a botanist, chemist, or handlers, you’ll have to pay each of their respective salaries, so attempt to adjust your selling price depending on the scale of your production.
Best Customers To Assign To Every Dealer in Schedule 1
Your clients don’t all have the same spending habits, so managing them wisely is the key to keeping your operation running smoothly.
My advice?Hold onto the big spenders yourself, since these customers offer you a good chance to make a more profitable counter-offer each time they order.
For everyone else, let your dealers handle their deliveries. Here’s a list of the customers that you’re able to assign to your dealers using your smartphone:
Molly Presley
Austin Steiner
Charles Rowland
Elizabeth Homley
Dorris Lubbin
Eugene Buckley
Chloe Bowers
Joyce Bell
Greg Figgle
Donna Martin
Keith Wagner
Jeff Gilmore
Kathy Henderson
Kim Delaney
Kyle Cooley
Meg Cooley
Peggy Myers
Ludwig Meyer
Trent Sherman
Peter File
Mick Lubbin
Jerry Montero
Sam Thompson
Benji, Molly and Brad can easily be unlocked from early to midgame or around the Bagman levels.
During my playthrough (early to midgame), I had the most successnegotiating counter-offerswithPhilip Wentworth, Geraldine Poon, and George Greene.
These customers aren’t just casual buyers; they regularlyorder two or more meth products at once,with prices ranging from$650 to well over $1,000, depending on the mix.

Jane, Wei, and Leo are late-game dealers, and you’ll need to reach at least Enforcer I to Baron I in order to unlock them.
Best Tips To Manage Dealers In Schedule 1
Check the Contacts on Your Smartphone
The quickest way to unlock new dealers is by building solid relationships with their customers first.
Check the contacts on your smartphone to figure out who to focus on and which people you’ll need to offer a free sample first and at times, give discounts to improve those relationships.
Don’t Leave Your Dealers Without Stock
If a dealer runs out of stock for too long, you’re losing out on valuable passive income. The more products you keep your dealers supplied with, the more consistent your earnings will be.
To make the most of their limited5 inventory slots, prioritize giving them products in jar packaging.
However,once you’ve unlocked the Brick Press, you can take things to the next level by compressing400 units into a single brick, dramatically maximizing their carrying capacity and keeping dealers stocked for longer periods so you can focus on having fun and experimenting with other mixes.
Assign Customers Based On Region
Although you can assign any customer to a dealer, it’s important to keep things practical. Dealers don’t have vehicles to cover long distances, so it’s best to stick to customers within their own region.
