Dispensary

The Vice Point Dispensary, GTA Vice City.

The Dispensary is a small chain of pharmacies and drug stores that featured in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. There are two Dispensaries in Vice City, one is located in northern Vice Point, north of the El Swanko Casa safehousewhile the other is located in southern Downtown, next to Rock City (to the east). Both of the stores have a white sign outside the store above the window saying its name in green letters along with a green medical cross. Both of the stores feature interiors furnished with store shelves stacked with drugs and medication as well as cashier's counters. Shooting and running into the shelves will not knock them over. Also, the windows cannot be broken by shooting or explosions. Strangely, running behind the counter will give the player a wanted level. Also, killing the store clerk will give the player an automatic wanted level, even if there are no police officers outside.

Unlike many undocumented businesses, the Dispensary, like hospitals, is notable for offering the player two medical pickups, consisting of a Health pickup and an Adrenaline pill. The two pickups are located between the aisles, each costing the player a small sum of money to use: Health ($20) and Adrenaline ($10). For this reason, the Dispensaries are comparable to the Ryton Aide store in Little Haiti, which offers the player the same pickups for the same amount of money.

Both the Vice Point and Downtown Dispensaries can be robbed for money; doing so is necessary for 100% completion of the game.
