What else can players fit in their pockets? DoubleCream
Every 90 minutes a player has the option to travel via crew owned train stations to another state. When this time comes around few players forget to purchase alcoholic beverages to smuggle over the state border and sell for a possible profit. Some players also do same state booze runs every 2 minutes, which may not result in profit but does provide rank experience. But what if there was something else that players were able to smuggle?

Well, it is commonly known that the bootlegging trade was not the only trade operating at that time. The other substance that was being smuggled between states was narcotics. People would pay big money for drugs which were in short supply in some areas.

So here it is, my vision of how narcotics smuggling could be added into the game. Another option under 'Money' on the ingame menu would be added, and clicking this would result in a menu much like the booze one appearing. However, the different types of alcoholic beverages would be replaced with narcotics. These could include Tobacco, Morphine, Opium, Glue and others.

But how would this affect the game? Well, the way I see it narcotics would be much more expensive to buy than booze, and less units could be carried. However, prices per unit would start at say $1,000 and range $5,000. This would result in a greater profit or loss with every transaction. Also the smuggling of narcotics would only be available to higher ranks such as those players ranked Boss and above, and as with booze the amount of units a player could carry would increase with rank.

That's all folks, just one players crazy idea.
