Best way to store LSD?

I'm looking to get a sheet of GammaGoblin's 250mcg Swiss for personal use, how should it be stored?

My idea is to split it up into 5 and 10 hit pieces, vacuum seal them separately, and store them in a lightproof container.

Any other advice?

i've always used this method:

wrap with foil
put in plastic bag
squeeze all the air out
put in book and in a dark/reasonably temperature'd place

and i have had no issues. I feel like LSD is a powerful enough substance that as long as you aren't storing the shit for years you probably won't notice noticable degradation.

how long do you plan on storing it?

My friends always wrapped them in foil, hell, I usually got it that way and kept it that way. I never kept them very long anyways :)

Aluminum foil can be pretty reactive though, and I wonder if it's not a bad choice for long term storage. Honestly, plastic wrap or wax paper might be better. Vacuum sealing them should be fine, if not overkill, but I wouldn't wrap them in foil for long term storage.

Here are the bad news: As far as I can tell, there have NEVER been any proper, rigorous, scientific studies into how LSD blotters are best stored. There has been a study into how to store LSD urine samples - http://jat.oxfordjournals.org/content/22/6/520.full.pdf - but not LSD blotters.[1]

That means that you'll have to rely on anecdotal evidence. The general consensus there seems to be that you want to avoid heat, light and moisture - but just how far one needs to go, well, there's the rub. Different folks will tell you different things. Some swear by room temperature. Others insist on the fridge, or even the freezer. But the correct answer - and, mind you, this being chemistry, there is a correct answer! - remains unknown.

Then the good news: In your case, both vacuum-sealing and lightproof container sound like excellent ideas.

[1] The study shows that LSD urine samples stored at 25 C (i.e. roughly room temperature) for up to 4 weeks lose ca. 15% of their potency - a very worrying sign, I think, if the same is true for blotters.

I've stored a half-sheet inside a book without using any tin foil for over a year and did not notice any significant loss of potency.

Hello ladies & gents,

It may seem like overkill, but this is an excellent method to store L for a very long, long, long time without it potentially losing any potency.

1) Cut the sheet up into individual 10 strips. 2) Wrap each individual 10 strip in some wax or parchment paper (these types of paper keeps moisture off the tabs and the slick surface of paper prevents any L from rubbing off, so to speak). 3) Wrap each individual wax/parchment paper in some tinfoil. Tinfoil helps block out light and moisture, but also keeps the L firmly contained within the wax/parchment paper. 4) Vacuum seal each 10 strip in its own individual vacuum-sealed bag. 5) Take all of your vacuum-sealed 10 strips baggies and throw them into a larger second vacuum packing baggie, but prior to vacuum sealing this second bag throw in one or two small desiccant baggies (these can be bought online, found in new shoe boxes. Sometimes they'll pop up in pill bottles). *6) Optional: if you want to go to the extreme you can place your now-double-vac'd bag into a Mylar bag. 7) Place your stash into the freezer.

With this method you can pull out an individual 10 strip and not have to unnecessarily subject the other 10 strips to repeated thawing and re-freezing.

Always allow your 10 strip to warm down to room temperature before cutting open the inner vacuum-sealed bag. This prevents any moisture condensation, which could potentially damage the tabs.

Congratulations! Your tabs should now stay potent far longer than you're around on this planet. Hope this helps!

buy your own mylar bags.. not that expensive.

use iron to heat seal it.

lsd will last forevers

I'm in the same position and doing exactly what you are but also storing in the freezer
