Smoking Weed

What a joint or blunt does - stress relief, the high, the munchies, addiction and the traces you leave.

Drugs & Crime3 min read

Joints and blunts lower your stress and give your character a short high. They also make you hungry, build up addiction and leave traces police can pick up on - smell in the air, smell on you, and THC in a drug test for hours.

Before you begin

  • A Joint or a Blunt. Roll them at a weed table (see Processing Weed) or buy them from someone who did.
  • Baggies and bricks can't be smoked - roll them first.

How it works

  1. Open your inventory with Tab and use a Joint or Blunt.
  2. Your character lights up and smokes it while a progress bar runs.
  3. When it finishes, the high kicks in.
  4. Press X during the bar to put it out. You get no effect and the joint is still used up.

While you are high your stress drops, the screen takes on a soft colour and sways a little, and you get the munchies - hunger drains about twice as fast. The grade matters: a grade S joint is clearly stronger and lasts longer than grade C. You'll see "The high wears off." when it ends.

The traces you leave

  • Smell in the air - the spot where you smoked smells of weed for a little while.
  • Smell on you - for a few minutes you smell strongly of weed and have red eyes if an officer looks you over.
  • THC in your system - for a few hours, a police or gym drug test shows THC (cannabis) and roughly how long ago.

Joints and blunts made with tainted supplies are contaminated. Smoking one can make you ill a little later. If you didn't roll it yourself with clean supplies, a Purity Test Kit from the pharmacy tells you before your stomach does.

Smoke somewhere out of the way, give yourself a few minutes before you walk up to an officer, and remember the drug test catches you long after the smell is gone.

Common problems

  • I can't smoke my baggie - only joints and blunts can be smoked. Roll it at a weed table.
  • I got nothing from the joint - you put it out with X before the bar finished.
  • I'm starving all of a sudden - that's the munchies. Bring a snack.
  • I feel sick later - the joint was contaminated.
  • My character keeps craving it - every joint and blunt adds to weed addiction (blunts a bit more). See addiction.
