How Dealers Work – Schedule 1 Guide
Image Credit: TVGS, Schedule I
At first, dealers in Schedule 1 seem kind of pointless. You give them product, they take 20% of the money, and you wonder why you didn't just sell it yourself. But once your empire starts growing, dealers become one of the best parts of your whole setup.
Here’s how they work and how to actually use them right.

What Dealers Actually Do in Schedule 1
Each dealer can serve up to 8 customers at a time.
You give them jars or bags, and they sell to their regulars automatically.
You don’t need to list products for sale—they handle that part themselves.
They take 20% of your cut, but the time you save is usually worth way more.
They can split jars down into smaller portions to match customer needs.
When Dealers Start Being Useful
If you're still hand-growing plants and delivering bags door to door, dealers might feel like a waste. But once you:
Hire a botanist or packager,
Start automating your grow operations,
Or move into places like the Barn, Warehouse, or Bungalow,
...dealers go from “meh” to “mandatory.”
They keep money flowing while you handle bigger stuff like expanding production, cooking harder mixes, or managing multiple grow spots. Once you’re moving serious weight, their 20% cut stops feeling like a loss and starts feeling like freedom.
Pro Tips for Dealers
Give them jars instead of bags – It won’t make you more money, but it means they stay stocked longer, so you don’t have to refill as often.
Don’t micromanage – They’ll break things down and sell what they can. If you give them 10 jars of OGK, they’ll handle the splitting for you.
Use them early if you can – Even with small-scale weed, having one or two dealers working in the background speeds up your growth.
Focus on automation – Dealers work best when you’re not having to stop everything to grow, pack, and deliver by hand.
Final Blurb
At some point, you're either going to be the one running around doing everything—or you're going to have a system that runs itself. Dealers are a big part of that system. They don’t complain, they don’t waste time, and they bring in thousands a day if you keep them stocked.
Think bigger. That 20% is just the cost of being the boss.
