The #1 medical marijuana dispensary on Vespucci Beach. All 100% legal and purely for medical purposes! VOTE NO ON PROP 208
— GTA V Digital Manual

Smoke on the Water is a pharmacy located on the Vespucci Beach Sidewalk, Vespucci Beach in Los Santos in Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online. It sells prescription marijuana for "medical" purposes.

Description[]

This business can be purchased by Franklin for $204,000 after completing the mission Nervous Ron, and produces a weekly income of $9,300. If purchased, Smoke on the Water will take 22 weeks to turn a profit over the initial investment.

After purchasing the venue, the manager will occasionally contact Franklin to help run the pharmacy, in the form of product pick-up and delivery missions. Smoke on the Water utilizes a unique Pony, which is slightly faster and can take more damage than the standard variant.

These side missions can be as simple as delivering the van within a time limit, to outrunning the LSPD at a maximum of three stars and to recovering the van from thieves.

E-Mail[]

Hey Franklin,

You're our new owner, right? If not, completely ignore this email, man! If you are, welcome to the marijuana industry, all 100% legal and purely for medical purposes! We're saving lives!

I'll let you know if anything comes up, but you don't have to worry - I run a pretty tight ship.

Take it easy,

Jared
