The products that make up the player's selling inventory in Schedule I are popular all by themselves, but the Mixing Station can be used to make a good strain great. Part of the fun in the game is experimenting with different ingredients to get the best, most profitable results to keep clients loyal and hook new ones.

Schedule 1: Mixing Mania Guide (How to Make a Strain Worth $60)
Here's a quick guide on how to make expensive product strains for Schedule 1's Mixing Mania task.
7 Gasoline
Unlocks At Hoodlum V
- Price: $5
- Found At: Gas-Mart, Oscar's Store
Gasoline is one of the more potent and volatile mixing ingredients available, which is why it unlocks at Hoodlum V. Mixing it with cannabis adds the Toxic effect, which doesn't improve the strain very much, but gasoline becomes much more useful at later levels when the player is cooking cocaine.
In a moment of art imitating real life, gasoline is one of the main ingredients needed in Schedule 1 to process booger sugar. Some customers who buy cannabis like the Toxic effect, so it's useful for them, but before the player starts cooking nose candy it has limited uses.
6 Chili
Unlocks At Peddler IV
- Price: $7
- Found At: Gas-Mart, Supermarket
This expensive ingredient unlocks when the player hits Peddler IV, which is about the same time they'll start gathering the materials for meth production, so this little red Chili might get lost as the business progresses. However, it has a valuable and fun Spicy property that mixes nicely with strains that already have Calming or Sedating effects. Players can experiment with the formula by adding more than one unit to a single recipe.
Where is the Grocery Store in Schedule 1?
When players place supply orders in Schedule 1, they must collect their products from dead drops at places like the grocery store.
People seem to prefer Chili in their meth or cocaine, which might be why it's one of the ingredients that the player can't pick up until they're ready to start cooking more dangerous and complicated products.
5 Banana
Unlocks At Street Rat One
- Price: $2
- Found At: Gas-Mart (various locations), the Supermarket
Rich in potassium and lovely for a snack, the humble Banana is a great addition to almost any mix, especially at the beginning of the game. It's cheap, available in a few locations, and it usually adds the Calorie-dense effect to a mix. Other occasional traits include Gingeritis and Balding.
Early in the game, players only have access to a few cheap strains of cannabis, and Banana is an economical way to make a more expensive mix. Adding a two-dollar banana to a cannabis strain can add about $20 to the price, making this well worth the cost and effort.
4 Cough Syrup
Unlocks At Hoodlum IV
- Price: $5
- Found At: Gas-Mart, Pharmacy, Supermarket
This ingredient unlocks at Hoodlum IV when the player should be growing stronger types of cannabis like Green Crack and Grandaddy Purple, which are the ideal strains to mix with Cough Syrup. The item is described as being used for pain relief and improving sleep, so it can be added to an Energetic weed to bring it down or a sleepy one to bring it up.
Schedule 1: How To Get a Bigger House
As your business grows in Schedule 1, you need a bigger base of operations.
It's one of the more expensive ingredients at this stage of the game at $5 per unit, but since the player is making bigger investments by this time, the price curve won't break the bank. It's the basis for some great strains and can be used to make some extra money at a time when the player is looking to expand.
3 Donut
Unlocks At Street Rat One
- Price: $3
- Found At: Gas-Mart, Grocery Store
People like weed and donuts, so why not combine them? The donut is similar to the banana in effect and cost, but it adds more appeal to a strain with the Calorie-dense effect and the Energized or Thought-provoking traits.
Not only is this mix a great seller that often brings a humble strain of weed up to a decent or even hefty price, but it's also cheap, easy to find, and available at the earliest stages of the game. Even when the protagonist starts cooking more series drugs later in the game, don't forget to throw in an occasional donut.
2 Mouth Wash
Unlocks At Hoodlum II
- Price: $4
- Found At: Gas-Mart
The brand name is a very tasteful parody, Pissterine, so it's preferable to just refer to it as Mouth Wash. It's not available until Hoodlum III because it's slightly overpowered. Not only is it inexpensive and available in various places, but it can add properties similar to other pharmaceutical ingredients like flu medication and Paracetamol, but without the same drawbacks.
All Quests in Schedule 1 (Mission List)
There are currently 23 quests in Schedule 1, the first three of which are part of the game's prologue.
Anti-gravity, Electrifying, and Refreshing are just a few of the results that adding Mouth Wash can yield as a mixing ingredient. It's only $4 per unit, so by this time in the game, the player should be able to afford enough for some further discoveries and fun experiments.
1 Viagra
Hoodlum II
- Price: $4
- Found At: Gas-Mart, Pharmacy
Here are two popular drugs that each have a reputation as an aphrodisiac, so why not combine them and make cannabis both romantic and fun? The Tropic Thunder effect helps a person "get chibbed up" and is ideal for date nights or casual encounters. It might be just part of the immersion, but it's a highly sought-after trait that clients seek out, and a free sample with this characteristic is always impressive.
It's a popular ingredient that's nominally priced and tends to make cheap or low-quality strains a lot more expensive, reflecting its status as a billion-dollar drug in the real world. Hoodlum II is still a low rank, and it's a time when most players need to make as much money while being as frugal as possible. Viagra works for both factors, returning an investment without taking too much away from the "Expand to the Warehouse" fund.
