Stability of Compounds

[foxinaboxwithsox]

Granted they are stored in a dark, dry place away from heat,

how stable are compounds like MDMA, MDA, 2cb, 2ci, etc?

How many years can these compounds maintain their potency?

Usually all chemical compoinds are reccomended to be stored in a cool, dry place preferably below room temperature.

All of the compounds that you have listed are stable, because htey are made in labs with stable chemicals. Potency is not lost due to time, only your product can deteriorate.

^ Well, that's not quite true. Just because they're made in a lab with pure chemicals doesn't mean that they'll be stable.
Ammonia & Iodine... both stable chemicals... react those (no, actually don't!). Definitely not a stable product; you end up with a ridiculously sensitive touch explosive.

LSD is made in a lab. It's not stable either.
This is mostly due to the stress of the bonds however. MDMA, 2C-x and related chemicals don't really have stressed bonds so they're stable. The ergoline system isn't stable though.

SWIM Took commercial LSD that was over 40 years old (but stored correctly) and said its effects were identical to newer stuff. I don't know what exact methodology he was using to compare dosage, but he does have a pHd in chemistry so I sort of trust his judgement.

If stored properly I don't see why LSD would 'oxadize'? In DI water and kept from light, if in a pure state, I havn't found anything to cause LSD to break-down.

MDMA and other chems as stated above are much more stable ...

temp will break it down. Store cold for the very long term.
