Question about volumetric dosing/dilutioni of LSD

[doesdoes]

Hi, so I currently have 120 proof everclear and distilled water as well as 7 tabs estimated to be 100micrograms each. The problem is right now, I only have amber bottles that are 32 oz ~970ml. I was hoping to only use 1 tab at a time, would the dilution of 100mics into 900ml of 60DI/40Everclear be overkill? should I just purchase a 100ml amber bottle. Could I just put the 100mic tab into 100ml in the 32 oz bottle, but I'm worried some will be lost on the sides of the bottle or destroyed by the oxygen within the bottle.

And if I did 1 tab (100mics) into 900 ml, it'd be 10mics per 90ml of the solution, correct?

Also I stupidly bought a "food safe polypropylene plastic graduated cylinder" not knowing that leeching can occur with alcohols such as everclear. My question is should I toss this cylinder? or may I use it for the brief amount of time of measuring the desired amount of everclear, then immediately pouring it into my desired storage amber bottle.

Thank you

100mics in 900ml sounds like a bit too much. I would keep it more concentrated using something as 10ml in total, so 10mics/ml, that way you should waste way less

yep, too much.
You'd have to get real drunk to trip at all.
Even if you were using it to microdose it'd be too much.
I dilute mine : 1 ml alcohol to 100 mics LSD which breaks down to 5 mics per drop or 1 mic per IU.

You always want the volume of liquid as small as possible without running into solubility or evaporation problems, otherwise everything on top of that is just redundant and impractical. The amounts of LSD involved are so tiny that solubility will not be a problem, and evaporation... well 900 ml of water won't evaporate on you accidentally especially in the fridge where you should keep a watery solution (and in the freezer alcoholic ones).

Realize that liquid acid is often administered in drops, even with significant alcohol in there... That is really concentrated compared to what you are talking about.

If you are not storing what you have and divide it immediately, actually making 90 ml doses would be fine as it requires less small measurement devices like small syringes and it is still a volume a person can drink easily. However it already starts getting impractical if you wanna measure 9/10 of that volume. And yeah not to mention the alcohol in there! A good reason to keep volumes as small as possible.

Now, I don't necessarily recommend that except for mobility and practical reasons at festivals etc, because evaporation can be significant and drops are not of standardized volume... but you don't need that much bigger volumes especially in sealed containers, or with syringes which can start to get useful not far above 0.1 ml (which is about 2 drops).

Volumetric measurement of dissolved blotters is only useful if you have reason to believe that they might be dosed drop-wise instead of properly laid, otherwise it's not a good plan as acid will always deteriorate more in solution (as do most other things which aren't mega stable) and you could just cut blotter hits with a pair of scissors. But yeah dividing by 10 isn't really practical I agree.

If you just want to be able to take 1 1/4 hit, use the pair of scissors. It might be nice for a report to be able to be so accurate but other than that you might be taking it too seriously.

I'd think that leeching of plasticizers would be minimal with just alcohol in food grade PP.

100mics in 1-2mL is more appropriate.
