Acid Labs
Acid Labs are high-income production businesses. Buy or steal supplies, manufacture stock over time, then sell it in sell missions for profit. Added in the Los Santos Drug Wars update, with one location at $750,000.
Fully upgraded, a full 160-unit batch sells for $335,200. Supplies cost $192,000, leaving about $143,200 net per batch, about $83,800/hr.

Income figures are community-measured estimates. Expand a section for the assumptions behind each number.
Production
Stock production (Base)
No Equipment Upgrade. Supplies cost $600 per supply unit and every product unit consumes 2 supply units, so buying a full 160-unit batch costs $192,000 (a full $60,000 supply bar yields only 50 product units). Steal missions fill 25 supply units each for free with no cooldown, and production keeps running while you fetch them. ~2.25 min/unit (~6h to fill). A free once-per-day speed boost at the lab's chemical table (resets 6am GMT) roughly halves production time until 80 units are made. Net = full_value - production_cost.
Stock production (Fully upgraded)
Equipment Upgrade ($250,000, unlocked by completing 10 Fooligan Jobs for Dax) raises product value from $1,485 to $2,095 per unit (full batch $335,200 vs $237,600 without) and speeds production to 1.5 min/unit (~4h to fill). Supplies are unchanged ($192,000 bought for a full batch, or steal them free). Naming your acid at the chemical table adds another +5% to sale value. The acid lab has no staff or security upgrades and cannot be raided.
Sell missions
Solo sell delivery (Base)
Acid sell missions scale vehicle count with organization players, not stock, so a solo seller always rides the lab's single Manchez Scout C and a full $237,600 sale is solo-able. The window is 20 minutes across the scenarios (Paperboy street drops, stash drop-offs or a police sting); no fee is taken from the sale. Selling needs at least 10% stock. A High Demand bonus adds +2.5% per other player in the session, up to +50% in a full public lobby.
The sell phase of the stock manufactured above - not extra income.
Solo sell delivery (Fully upgraded)
With the Equipment Upgrade a full batch sells for $335,200, still delivered solo on the lab's single Manchez Scout C because vehicle count scales with organization players, not stock. The window is 20 minutes across the scenarios (Paperboy street drops, stash drop-offs or a police sting); no fee is taken from the sale, and naming your acid adds +5% ($351,840 max). Selling needs at least 10% stock. A High Demand bonus adds +2.5% per other player in the session, up to +50% in a full public lobby.
