3. Choose Play Jobs
4. Go to Rockstar Created
5. Open Missions
6. Scroll and select “First Dose 1 – Welcome to the Troupe” listed on it.

Alternatively, you can access the first mission in the free roam by visiting Ron, denoted as R on the map. Here’s a list of all six First Dose missions that must be completed to start the Acid Lab business:

• First Dose 1 - Welcome to the Troupe
• First Dose 2 - Designated Driver
• First Dose 3 - Fatal Incursion
• First Dose 4 - Uncontrolled Substance
• First Dose 5 - Make War Not Love
• First Dose 6 - Off the Rails

Once all of them are completed and you have access to the MTL Brickade 6x6, you can simply set up the Acid Lab on the vehicle for a cost of $750,000 after completing the Equipment mission for the business.
