FiveM Weed System (V4) - Complete Cannabis Cultivation & Distribution Script

FiveM Weed System V4 brings a fully immersive cannabis growing and distribution economy to your FiveM roleplay server. This comprehensive drug system lets players experience the entire lifecycle of marijuana cultivation, from planting seeds and nurturing plants through growth stages, to harvesting mature buds and selling their product on the streets. Whether you're running an ESX or QBCore server, this script provides the perfect balance of realism and gameplay mechanics that keep players engaged in the underground drug trade.

What sets this weed system apart is its attention to detail in the cultivation process. Players can't just drop seeds and walk away - they need to monitor plant health, provide water and nutrients, manage lighting conditions, and protect their crops from theft or police raids. The multi-stage growth system creates realistic progression, with plants visually changing as they mature from seedlings to harvestable plants. This creates natural roleplay opportunities between growers, dealers, law enforcement, and rival gangs competing for territory.

What's Included in the Weed System

This complete cannabis script package includes everything you need to run a thriving drug economy on your server. You'll get the full planting and growing system with configurable growth times, a processing mechanic that turns raw plants into sellable products, an NPC dealer network for street sales, police notification systems to alert law enforcement to illegal activities, and a comprehensive inventory management system that integrates seamlessly with your existing framework.

The script supports both indoor and outdoor growing operations, allowing players to establish hidden grow houses in apartment interiors or risk larger outdoor farms in remote locations like the Paleto Bay hills. Each location type presents different risk-reward scenarios - indoor grows are safer but produce smaller yields, while outdoor farms can generate massive harvests but are more vulnerable to detection and raids.

Key Features

• Multi-Stage Plant Growth - Watch cannabis plants progress through seedling, vegetative, flowering, and harvest-ready stages with visual changes at each phase
• Plant Health Management - Monitor water levels, nutrient requirements, and lighting conditions to maximize yield quality and harvest weight
• Configurable Growth Times - Adjust how long each growth stage takes to match your server's economy and player engagement levels (default 6-8 hours real-time)
• Processing System - Transform raw harvested plants into sellable weed bags through drying and packaging mechanics
• Dynamic Street Dealing - Sell processed weed to NPC dealers at various locations with fluctuating prices based on supply and demand
• Police Alert System - Automated dispatch notifications when players deal drugs in high-traffic areas or when grow operations are discovered
• Territory Control - Configure specific selling zones where different gangs control the market and prices vary by neighborhood
• Customizable Strain Types - Support for multiple weed varieties with different growth times, yields, and street values
• Anti-Exploit Protection - Built-in safeguards prevent duplication, infinite growing, and other common exploits
• Optimized Performance - Efficient resource usage ensures smooth operation even with hundreds of active plants across the server

Perfect For

• Servers wanting a realistic drug economy with cultivation mechanics that reward time investment
• Gangs and criminal organizations looking for territory-based income streams
• Law enforcement roleplay focused on drug interdiction and narcotics investigations
• Serious roleplay communities emphasizing illegal business operations
• Economy-focused servers needing high-risk, high-reward money-making activities
• Servers transitioning from basic drug scripts to more immersive systems

Installation & Setup

1. Extract the weed system resource to your server's resources folder
2. Import the SQL file to create necessary database tables for plant tracking and player statistics
3. Configure growth times, selling prices, and location zones in the config.lua file
4. Add weed-related items (seeds, plants, baggies) to your framework's item database
5. Restart your server and verify the script loads without errors in console
6. Test the complete cycle: planting, growing, harvesting, processing, and selling
7. Adjust police notification thresholds and economic balance based on server testing

Framework Compatibility

• ✅ ESX Legacy - Full support for ESX 1.9.x and Legacy versions with society money integration
• ✅ QBCore - Native QBCore integration with shared job systems and stash management
• ✅ QBOX - Compatible with QBOX framework for modern servers
• ✅ Standalone - Can be adapted for use without a framework (requires custom integration)

Economic Impact & Server Integration

The weed system creates a complete economic ecosystem that affects multiple aspects of your server. Growers need to purchase seeds from black market dealers, invest in nutrients and equipment, and spend time nurturing plants before seeing returns. This creates natural cash flow that keeps money circulating through your economy. The risk of police seizures means smart players will launder their profits through legal businesses, creating roleplay opportunities with accountants, lawyers, and corrupt officials.

For law enforcement, the script provides investigative gameplay beyond simple arrests. Police can stake out known dealing locations, track repeat offenders, build cases against distribution networks, and execute coordinated raids on grow operations. The police alert system is configurable to avoid constant spam - you can set minimum transaction amounts or require multiple sales in an area before dispatch is notified.

Customization Options

Server owners have extensive control over every aspect of the weed economy. Adjust plant growth speeds from ultra-realistic 24+ hour cycles to faster 2-4 hour progression for more active gameplay. Configure different strain types with unique properties - maybe Purple Haze grows faster but sells for less, while OG Kush takes longer but commands premium prices. Set up territory-specific pricing where weed sells for more in wealthy neighborhoods like Rockford Hills but attracts more police attention.

You can also customize the visual props used for plants at each growth stage, modify the processing requirements (maybe players need to take plants to specific drying locations), and adjust how much product each plant yields at harvest. The included configuration file has detailed comments explaining each setting, making it accessible even for server owners new to Lua scripting.

What Makes It Stand Out

Unlike basic drug scripts that treat weed as just another item to collect and sell, this V4 system creates a genuine farming and distribution simulation. The multi-stage growth with visual progression gives players tangible feedback on their investment. The health management mechanics mean neglected plants produce lower yields or die completely, rewarding attentive growers. The territory-based selling system encourages gang warfare over lucrative dealing spots, creating organic conflict and roleplay.

The script's performance optimization is particularly noteworthy - even with 50+ active grow operations across the server, resource usage remains minimal (typically under 0.03ms). The code uses efficient SQL queries and client-server architecture to ensure plants continue growing even when players are offline, making it viable for servers with hundreds of concurrent players.
