Schedule 1 is a game that revolves around crafting various drug-like effects by mixing different ingredients. With 34 unique effects to discover, players must experiment with combinations to unlock them all. This guide will cover how to obtain every effect in the game, including detailed methods for creating the Laxative effect—one of the trickier ones to produce.
We’ll break down the fastest, cheapest, and most efficient ways to achieve each effect, along with where to find the necessary ingredients.
The Laxative effect can be obtained through three primary methods, each with varying costs and steps. Below, we’ll explore each method in detail, including ingredient costs and step-by-step instructions.
This method requires three steps but is the most budget-friendly.

Total Cost: $9
Steps: 3
If you want to save time at the expense of slightly higher cost, this method only takes two steps.
Start with a base product.
