Unlocking and utilizing Pseudo in Schedule 1 is a multi-stage process that involves building relationships, accessing new suppliers, and setting up a clandestine lab. This guide will walk you through the steps required to acquire Pseudo, obtain the necessary equipment, and ultimately produce and sell meth within the game.
How to find Pseudo
If you want to unlock Pseudo in Schedule 1, you’ll need to get on the good side of certain characters—specifically, Meg Cooley or Jerry Montero. You can find both of them in the Westville area of the map. To turn them into customers, track them down and offer a free sample of weed they’d enjoy.
- Meg prefers strains with the Sneaky or Slippery traits.
- Jerry goes for Smelly or Gingeritis traits.
- Both like weed that’s Thought-Provoking.
Once they become customers, focus on serving them consistently. As long as you don’t miss any of their weed requests, they’ll gradually warm up to you. You can speed things up by always providing the strains they like and making quick deliveries—which also earns you extra cash. After enough successful transactions, one of them will eventually stop you after a delivery and introduce you to their friend, Shirley Watts.
Meeting with Shirley Watts
Once you unlock Shirley as a supplier, you can start ordering Pseudo through text. It works just like Albert Hoover’s dead drops for weed—Shirley will stash parcels at different spots around town for you to pick up.
Of course, Pseudo isn’t free. You’ll need to leave cash in a drop box located on the water-facing side of the Warehouse before collecting your order.
Here’s what Shirley offers:
| Type | Cost | Meth Quality | Unlock Rank |
| Low-Quality Pseudo | $60 | Poor | Always available with Shirley |
| Pseudo | $80 | Average | Unlocks at Hustler III |
| High-Quality Pseudo | $110 | High | Unlocks at Bagman V |
How to Use Pseudo
Pseudo is the key ingredient for making meth in Schedule 1, but before you can start cooking and selling, there are a few steps to complete.
Once Pseudo is available, your next goal is to gain access to the Warehouse. Inside, you’ll find special vendors that you won’t encounter anywhere else in the game. One of them, Oscar, sells the equipment you need to kickstart your meth operation.
What You’ll Need from Oscar:
- Lab Oven – $1000 (cash only)
- Chemistry Station – $1000 (cash only)
- Acid – $40
- Phosphorus – $40
Once you have everything, you can set up your lab anywhere with enough space. Use the Chemistry Station to mix Pseudo, Acid, and Phosphorus. After eight hours, the mixture turns into Meth (Liquid), which then needs six more hours in the Lab Oven to crystallize. Once it’s done, just shatter, bag, and sell your freshly cooked meth.
