TL;DR
QuickiePharm is only worth your time during 2X GTA$ weeks. Run it solo in an Invite Only session, never as CEO or MC. If the first deliveries drag you toward the countryside, quit immediately and restart.
Chain city-heavy runs back to back, drive clean to avoid damage penalties, ignore bad GPS routes, and don’t chase the under-10-minute award unless you enjoy working harder for less money. Done right, it’s a boring job that spits out illegal-looking cash.
QuickiePharm is guilty of pretending to be boring while secretly being useful.
Sentence:
Exploit aggressively during 2X weeks.
Abort bad routes without remorse.
Treat long-distance deliveries like a scam email from a prince.
Do this, and you’ll walk away richer, calmer, and smugly aware that you made more money delivering fake medicine than half the city makes committing actual crimes.
Which, frankly, feels very on-brand for Los Santos.
Tired of delivering medicine like a responsible adult? Reward yourself with a Radar Detector (Uniden R8W) from Amazon, because nothing says “healthcare professional” like knowing exactly where the law is hiding while you absolutely ignore it. Buy it, laugh nervously, drive faster anyway.

Let’s get one thing straight.This is GTA Online, a world where you can rob a casino, launch orbital strikes, and own a flying bike with homing missiles.
And yet Rockstar looked at all that and said: “What if the real fantasy… was delivering medicine?”
Yes. Welcome to QuickiePharm Medical Courier, the most aggressively boring job in Los Santos, and somehow also one of the sneakiest money printers when Rockstar flips the magical “2X” switch.
This guide is not here to admire it. This guide is here to strip it for parts, interrogate it under a bare bulb, and force it to cough up every dollar it’s hiding.
The core truth (tattoo this on your forehead)
QuickiePharm is only worth doing during 2X GTA$ weeks. Outside of that, it’s charity work with a steering wheel.
On boost weeks, it becomes a $300K/hour legal loophole that requires zero setup, zero businesses, and zero patience for authority.
This is not a suggestion.This is math.
What QuickiePharm actually is (no romance, no nonsense)
You show up at a pharmacy. They hand you a car. They tell you to deliver six packages. You do not ask what’s inside, because this is Los Santos and the answer is probably “organs”.
You are not allowed to be a CEO or MC. Rockstar wants you humble, unemployed, and spiritually broken.
The car is fast enough, fragile enough, and handles like it was designed by a committee that hates you personally.
Damage the car and your payout shrinks. Yes, even in a city where helicopters explode if you look at them funny.
The payout system (aka how Rockstar messes with your head)
Each run is six deliveries. Each delivery pays more the farther away it is.
Sounds logical. It is not.
Short city hops pay less but take seconds. Long countryside runs pay more but take forever, which absolutely murders your hourly.
This is the trick: Rockstar pays by distance, but you earn by time.
They are playing checkers. You are playing chess with a tire iron.
The only math that matters
Let’s talk reality. Not YouTube fantasy.
A good run, where deliveries stay mostly in Los Santos:
About 12 minutes
Roughly $30K per run
That’s $150K/hour normally
And $300K/hour during 2X
A bad run, where the game decides you’re now a rural volunteer ambulance:
16+ minutes
Same money
Hourly collapses like a cheap lawn chair
Same job. Same effort. Completely different outcome.
Which brings us to the most important skill in this entire guide.
Halfway through the grind and questioning your life choices? Grab a Logitech G29 Racing Wheel on Amazon and pretend this courier job is actually motorsport, not pharmaceutical Uber. If you’re going to suffer, at least suffer with force feedback and delusion.
The CRIMENET Prime Directive: Quit early, quit often
Here is the move that separates professionals from people who “finish what they start” and are therefore poor.
If your first one or two deliveries start dragging you north, toward sandy nothingness and people named Cletus:
QUIT THE JOB. RESTART.
Do not push through. Do not “see how it goes”. Do not let sunk-cost fallacy drive the car.
You are not rage-quitting. You are cutting a bad investment.
Two wasted minutes beats sixteen wasted minutes every single time.
This one habit alone is the difference between:
“This job kinda sucks”
and “Why is my bank account quietly inflating?”
How to run it like a professional criminal pretending to be a pharmacist
Invite Only session. Always. Public sessions are where dreams go to be hit by flying motorcycles.
Spawn close to the pharmacy. Every jog is unpaid labor.
Chain runs back-to-back. Finish the sixth delivery, turn around, start again. No wheel spins. No distractions. You are at work.
Drive like the cargo is fragile, not like you’re auditioning for Fast & Furious 37. Crashes don’t make you cool. They make you poorer.
Ignore the GPS when it’s stupid. It often is. You know the city better than a blinking line.
“But what about friends?”
QuickiePharm is solo. Rockstar decided teamwork was too enjoyable.
However.
Friends can still:
Clear traffic
Block NPC stupidity
Act as unpaid security guards
Exist purely to reduce chaos
They don’t boost payout directly. They boost consistency, which boosts money.
Parallel grinding also works. Everyone runs it solo in the same session. If the RNG goes bad, everyone bails.
This is boring. It is also extremely effective.
The under-10-minute award (aka the shiny trap)
Yes, there’s an award for finishing all deliveries under 10 minutes.
Here’s the truth:
It depends almost entirely on route RNG
Long-distance routes make it borderline impossible
Chasing it repeatedly tanks your hourly
CRIMENET ruling: Get it once, when RNG is kind. Then forget it exists and go back to printing money.
Awards don’t pay rent. Cash does.
Advanced tactics most guides are too polite to tell you
The Two-Run Test: If two consecutive runs stay city-based, keep grinding that session. If either goes long early, session hop.
You’re not superstitious. You’re managing variance.
Time it with boost weeks: Outside 2X weeks, QuickiePharm is “fine”. During 2X weeks, it’s quietly excellent.
This is filler income that becomes primary income when Rockstar temporarily loses their mind.
Common mistakes (aka self-sabotage)
Being in CEO/MC and wondering why it won’t start.
Finishing terrible routes out of pride.
Driving like damage is a suggestion.
Trying to “multiplayer” a solo job.
All symptoms of optimism.
A fatal condition.
Finished the article, richer but spiritually hollow? Treat yourself to a Hot Wheels Premium Fast & Furious car set from Amazon, because you just spent two hours pretending delivery work is exciting and now you deserve tiny cars that never crash, never lose money, and never send you to Blaine County.
FAQ
Is QuickiePharm actually good money or just Rockstar cosplay for minimum wage? It’s terrible money most of the time and excellent money at very specific moments. Outside 2X weeks it’s polite pocket change. During 2X GTA$ weeks it turns into a legal-looking money faucet that quietly sprays 250K to 300K per hour if you stop pretending long routes are noble.
Why does everyone say to quit early when the route goes north? Because time is the only currency that matters. Long-distance deliveries pay a bit more per drop but eat minutes like a wood chipper. Quitting after a bad first delivery saves you ten minutes of unpaid countryside sightseeing. Pride is expensive. Restarting is profitable.
Do I really need to do this in an Invite Only session? Yes. Public sessions add nothing except stress, delays, and someone on a flying bike who thinks medicine delivery is a personal insult. Invite Only gives identical payouts and vastly better consistency, which is how you make real money.
Can I run this with friends or boost payouts in multiplayer? The job itself is strictly solo, no teamwork fantasy allowed. Friends can still escort, block traffic, and keep chaos away, which improves consistency but not payouts. The real multiplayer play is parallel grinding where everyone runs their own courier loop and bails together if RNG turns hostile.
Is it worth chasing the under-10-minute award? Only once, for closure. That award depends heavily on route luck and chasing it repeatedly will nuke your hourly income. Get it when the city stays compact, then forget it exists and go back to earning like a professional adult.
What’s the single biggest mistake people make with QuickiePharm? Finishing bad routes out of stubbornness. The job isn’t testing your character, it’s testing your math. The moment you accept that quitting early is smart, not weak, QuickiePharm stops being boring and starts being lucrative.
