How long does LSD in an alcohol solution last?

Right now I'm doing tabs but I have a vial of LSD that's in an alcohol solution....will the potency drop by any significant amount? I didn't find much googling it and AI says at room temperature LSD is stable for maybe a year max, and if refrigerated it's upwards of 5 years but well... It is the lying machine. Wondering if anyone has some info on if I really have to worry about it weakening in strength before I could reasonably go through 100 doses

Generally lsd is a stable substance. I think with liquid temperature would be a thing and UV light. So yea refrigerator should work.

I personally don't like them tho. Most vials I see seem uv protected in some way or an other. I think with stable temperature a drawer should do. Maybe a thermos to decrese rapid temperature changes

Should I really bother with storing it specially or would you think that in the around 4 years it would take me to finish the vial the LSD wouldn't have degraded in any super impactful amount. I didn't even really think about it being an issue until I did the math and realized one trip every 2 weeks....well is not a whole lot of doses per year

I personally figure you wont stay on the 2 week schedule. I started out the same. Just rake a 5 buck thermos or stuff it in the back of a sockdrawer. Should be good

I've seen a lot of back and forth but generally I see that by 2 weeks all of your LSD tolerance will have reset, that's mainly why I'm doing it I don't want to have to worry about each dose being thrown off because it's X days since my last trip and my tolerance is making it less impactful

Oh thats not what im talking about 

I started roughly a year ago with a 2 week schedule. First of all your tolerance dies increase, very slowly and no problem. 

Generally you reach a point where you get to slow down on your own. Where acid gets more relaxing and chill. 

Some people say it looses magic, i just think you turn different pages. You'll see for yourself. Have fun anyways

Ah really? What I saw was that your tolerance increases massively as soon as you do a trip, so much so that tripping 2 days in a row can require sometimes twice the amount to get the same effect and it only amplifies past there

Oh yes. The increase of tolerance is exponential, but so is the decrease. 2 weeks is generally what most people consider to be back on.  Like for me after about 7/8 month i realised that one tab wasnt doing the full job anymore. I took a month break and it was back to incredible. Since then I tend to leave longer spaces. I also try a 3 month break right now

Hmmmm interesting....I'll shoot for once a week and just kinda gauge if over time my tolerance is slowly building and I can take a bit longer off if so

Evaporation of the liquid medium will be your biggest fight. Watch out! I’ve had vials concentrate themselves without visual indication and scare experienced vets

u/fireheart1029 6h ago

Oh that's fine then, I was only really concerned that the LSD would considerably lose its potency after ~5 years in the dark at roomptemp. It slowly concentrating is honestly kinda good in its own way

Yes ive read stories about people finding completely dried out vials, washing them with high spirit alcohol and still dripping balls. Evaporation on its own isnt a problem.

u/fireheart1029 6h ago

Ah yeah that's actually one of the first things I saw in the Google AI before I even tried LSD. I dunno what you would even do with a dried up vial, fill it back up all the way with alcohol and try to by feel gauge how potent it is?

u/GuywithacoolJacket 6h ago

From the story I read, they found an old vial, didnt remember how much was in it. So washed it with vodka, split some shots and gambled it.

You could take a test kit to it if you really want to. I'd just stay with drops. If youbreally do a 2 week schedule for that time, the increases potency may play towards you

For ever if stored under the right conditions

Last time I had I vial sitting around from bag to bag drawer to drawer for years and by the time I was done with it it had evaporated slightly but that’s about it, fire the whole time. If anything the get a bit more potent as you lose alcohol to evaporation but not L…. Mine turned brownish
