Boost to nerve to be temporarily applied to all Cannabis items. Overdose chances increased. Find out what overdosing does to you during 4-20, and where you can buy cheap weed to celebrate.
Are you ready to blaze it 4-20? Don't forget to blaze it 4-19 and 4-21 too, because Torn's 48-hour Cannabis event is almost here!


Pictured: Sound advice.


You've Got Some Nerve

From noon on the 19th until the same time on the 21st, any Cannabis used in Torn will provide the user with three times as much nerve as usual. Cannabis typically provides either two or three nerve per hit, so during the 4-20 event, potheads may get anywhere between six and nine nerve from a single bifta.

The cooldown for Cannabis is 60-90 minutes, which means that players should be able to take 17-25 of this drug in a 24 hour period. That equates to a minimum value of 102 nerve gained in 24 hours and a maximum of 225 nerve. If these figures are wrong, let me know and I'll whip myself bloody change them.

If you combine all that excess nerve with a few bottles of booze, you could go on a lovely crime spree during 4-20. And with the help of Biggles' recent article on Crime Experience, you could use this nerve to boost your CE more efficiently than ever before. Alternatively, you could try and overdose on Cannabis instead, which sounds a lot more fun.


Spaced Out

Your chance of overdosing on Cannabis is estimated at roughly 1 in 2,500, with this rare achievement marked by the provision of the Spaced Out honor bar. During the 4-20 event, your chances of overdosing on weed are increased fivefold, giving you roughly a 1 in 500 chance of whiting out like a lil b***h.

Of course, everyone knows that real men overdose outside of 4-20, and they do so in the process of writing an article on Cannabis at lunchtime on Friday.






Yes, that's right. After taking a total of six cannabis in my entire lifetime, I somehow managed to OD on the stuff. According to my research, the likes of DemonCyborg and SpeedSkateR have overdosed after just 13 and 10 doobies respectively, but I've yet to see anyone with a lower total than mine. Let me know if I'm wrong and I'll give you something nice from my inventory.

UPDATE: A player called Prencess did it on their first try! Link here.

When I overdosed, I managed to garner some useful information for those who follow in my shaky footsteps. The wiki says that overdosing on Cannabis will land you in the hospital for 300-330 minutes, but as you can see, I got slightly more than that.



If you do overdose, you'll also suffer an increased cooldown time, with the usual value of 60-90 minutes increased to 180-300 minutes - I got over four hours. If you do overdose during 4-20, that's obviously going to reduce the amount of weed you can take during the event, so just pray to RNGesus that it happens towards the end.


Cash Crop

Last year, we estimated that between 40-50,000 Cannabis items were used during the full 48 hours of the 4-20 event, with 26,395 taken on April 21st alone!

Due to increased demand, the price of weed inevitably goes up in the days before 4-20. Last year, Cannabis topped out at just $12,357, but it has been known to go as high as $27,546, which happened back in 2018. Its current price is closer to $10,000, so we see it going no higher than about $11k this year.

But if you're looking for some suspiciously cheap weed, then why not head down to FIDEL-CASTRO's 4-20 sale and buy some for the low-low price of $420. Torn's resident chronic communist has run this offer for three years now, and he claims his latest promotion will offer nearly two billion dollars worth of weed for sale at around just 4% of its usual price.

The numbers given imply that Fidel has roughly 180,000 Cannabis in stock. FIDEL-CASTRO's sale starts 21:20 TCT on the 20th of April, and at these prices, expect stocks to run out within minutes. He's also selling numerous other mystery items for $420, and one random customer will also win a free Castle. We have yet to confirm whether it is a White Castle, or whether Harold or Kumar will be there. What I can confirm is that I will share details of anyone else doing a $420 sale in this article, so drop me a message if you have something planned.


tl;dr: 3x nerve and 5x overdose chance from Cannabis from 12:00 19th - 21st.
