It's that time of year when Los Santos gets weirder than usual, and honestly, we're here for it. Rockstar's brought back the peyote plants for the 420 week, and if you haven't tried turning into a pug or a great white shark yet, you're missing out. While most folks are busy grinding for GTA 5 Money to buy that new supercar, these little green plants offer a much-needed break from the usual chaos. You just eat one, pass out, and suddenly you're seeing the world through the eyes of a pigeon or a mountain lion. It's a total trip that changes how you move around the map, and it's definitely one of the funniest things they've ever added to the game.

Hunting Down the Plants

Finding these things isn't always easy since there are 76 spots scattered across the map in the Online version. If you're playing Story Mode, you've only got 27 to worry about, but the Online event is way more spread out. You'll want to listen for animal noises or feel for your controller vibrating when you get close to a spawn point. They're usually tucked away in places like the Vinewood Hills, the depths of the Pacific, or even near the airport. It's a good excuse to explore parts of Blaine County you'd normally just fly over in an Oppressor.

The New Stoner Survival Mode

This year's update isn't just about the hallucinations, though. They've added this new Stoner Survival mode over at the Senora Desert Trailer Park that's pretty wild. You're basically fighting off waves of enemies while everything looks a bit hazy. It's a solid way to bank some extra RP and cash if you're tired of the same old heists. The further you get through the waves, the better the rewards, and it fits the whole 420 theme perfectly. It's definitely more intense than just wandering around as a cow, but it's a blast if you've got a crew with you.

Why You Should Care About Transformations

Being an animal isn't just for laughs; it actually gives you a decent chunk of RP when the trip ends. Each form has its own quirks—birds can fly high above the city, while sea creatures let you explore the ocean floor without worrying about oxygen. Just keep in mind that the fun stops if you die or wander too far from your natural habitat. It's a refreshing change of pace that makes the world feel alive in a different way. Plus, seeing another player's reaction when they realize a random deer is actually a person is worth the effort of finding the plants.

Maximizing Your Event Rewards

To really make the most of this limited-time event, you should probably mix things up. Spend some time hunting for those underwater peyote plants, then hit the survival mode for a change of pace. There are also some sweet bonuses on weed-related businesses right now, so it's a great window to buy GTA 5 Money or stock up through your own illicit enterprises. Don't wait too long because these plants won't stay around forever, and once the event ends, you'll be back to being a regular human again. It's the perfect time to just mess around and enjoy the weird side of San Andreas.
