Smoke on the Water: What Does It Mean in Game?

Smoke on the Water is a medicinal marijuana dispensary located in Grand Theft Auto V. Situated in the laid-back district of Vespucci Beach, this business offers a unique investment opportunity for players looking to expand their property portfolio and generate passive income in the single-player campaign.

Located specifically on Melanoma Street, the dispensary becomes available for purchase after completing the main story mission "Nervous Ron." It serves as a steady source of weekly revenue, adding to the financial growth of the owner.

Acquisition and Income

Unlike some properties that are available to all protagonists, Smoke on the Water can only be purchased by Franklin Clinton. It represents a mid-tier investment with a respectable return on investment (ROI).

  • Purchase Cost: $204,000
  • Weekly Income: $9,300
  • Break-Even Point: Approximately 22 in-game weeks.
Manager Missions: Occasionally, the manager will contact Franklin for help with business-related tasks, such as retrieving a stolen delivery van. Completing these missions is required to ensure the weekly income continues to be deposited.

Strategies for Maximizing Profit

To make the most of this investment, consider the following strategies:

  • Early Investment: Purchase the property as early as possible in the game to maximize the total payout over the course of the story.
  • Mission Priority: When the manager calls, prioritize the defense or retrieval mission immediately. Ignoring these calls can result in a loss of income for that week.
  • efficient Travel: Use high-speed vehicles like the Ocelot Pariah or the Pfister Comet S2 to navigate Los Santos quickly when a business mission triggers across the map.
