i've read people having condensation worries of LSD stored in a freezer. is this unfounded? would placing it in an ziplock or tupperware with a dessicant be a good idea?

I assume you are talking about blotter paper?

Yeah, it would be a very good idea to put it in an airtight container. Then when you take that container out of the freezer to get a dose, let it sit on the counter for 30min or so to let it get to room temp before opening.
 
100% AIRTIGHT glass vials (with reinforced rubber caps) for sure (glassvials.com). Wrap them in foil and keep them in your freezer. This would probably be the best practical way to store LSD.

When taking the vial out of the freezer for dosing, wait at least 60 minutes before OPENING the vial so it can get to room temperature so the paper receives no moisture from the freezer.

It's quite easy.
 
I can't really tell how big the vials are on specialtybottle, or how much storage space I'm going to need...so could someone give me an idea of what size I would need to store 1g of 2C-I?

Does the same rule apply as for LSD in waiting for the vial to return to room temp. before opening, or is this not as big a concern?
 
The Vx1 vials should hold a gram of 2C-I easily enough (where x = b for blue, a for amber, etc). You might as well get a handful though, since the shipping probably costs more than the vials if not.

LOL=D

and to the person who asked about storing san pedro cuttings, as long as they are good and dry, in a plastic bag and a drawer should be fine. They've found mescaline in ritualistic plant mixes that was 5700 years old so odds are , if you have enough, you might want to add your sanpedro to your will .
 
I have 5 hits in storage right now. I wrapped the hits in aluminum foil. Then I wrapped that in Saran wrap. Then I once again wrapped that in aluminum foil, and used scotch tape to seal any holes or gaps along the folds. I then took a drawer out of my dresser, taped it to the back, and put it back in. I sampled one of the hits that had been stored in this fashion and did not notice any loss of potency. You need a dark, cold, airtight place to store. I got 2 out of 3.
 
tin foil, saran wrap, and scotch tape are not air-tight, technically.

But probably close enough for LSD (I don't think this one's that fragile, I also know people who have had hits in their desk drawer and taken them and still tripped pretty hard).

I found these really great tupperware-type containers recently. They are rectangular and have a rubber gasket around the underside of the lid, and the lid clamps down hard on all four sides of the main container so they’re air/odor/water tight.

IKEA sells something like this except they are glass along with the rubber gasket locking mechanism. If anyone lives near a store it might be worth checking out.

I've heard that foil isn't good for storing acid and have noticed that blotter
stored in it has turned color. Since then I wrap it first in tissue paper so the
aluminum doesn't touch it directly.

For short term storage a few hits wrapped in tissue then bound with
scotchtape work fine. Easy to stash, taped to the back of a framed picture,
where no light will hit it.

do you think i could keep 4 tabs of acid potent untill august, if i wraped them in tissue then saran then tin foil, put them in a baggie then sealed it down air tight, then put that baggie in a vial, then put it in a freezer
 
Just wanted to mention you can sometimes take advantage of supercooling (very low temperatures) with only a freezer and "canned air". The theory is when you have something which otherwise would need much colder than freezer temps to store long term, you 1st cool it with the freon, and then immediately into the freezer. I know this works with standard batteries, of which just placing in the freezer has almost no net effect on longevity. But if you pre-cool the batteries in dry ice, liquid N2, or freon, and then put in freezer, you retain most the benefits of the (initially) colder temperature. Make any sense?
 
Chemical dissolved in sterile water?

Does anyone know about how long a chemical dissolved in dh2o and stored in an airtight bottle can be kept in the fridge (with periodic accesses) before bacteria becomes a concern? A few weeks? Months?

Is there a solution, short of boiling the liquid at some point and hoping it doesn't degrade the substance dissolved in the water? I've heard that alcohol can be used, but that in itself could chemically react with a substance, not to mention it's hard to find pure, non-denatured grain alcohol.
 
what chemical is it? Why would it react with the chemical? The general idea is to add 20% high proof alcohol to the solution to prevent bacteria growth.

A better idea is to buy a good scale (150-200$) and just weigh out your doses as needed.

Definitely. I've had blotter good for five years, stored at room temp
in paper, inside of an air tight container. It may have lost something,
but not much. In fact, I had forgotten about it and was happy to
discover that it still was good. Storing in a freezer would be even
better I suppose, just make sure it's sealed tight so it doesn't get
moist, that might affect it.

I know it is regulated in some states, but Everclear and Gem Clear are PGA, and available at every liquor store I've been in I think.

You might also be able to add something like sodium benzoate as a perservative... but I'm not sure about reactions there. Seems safe enough though, as a food additive. Its not too expensive.

Alcohol would probably be the easiest method. You could make a solution of half dH2O half vodka, and get close enough.
 
Yeah, I use Everclear as well. Although, it IS 5% distilled water. 95% ethanol is damn good though!

Alternatively, you can use vodka, or half vodka half distilled water, to make 40% alcohol concentration or 20%, respectively. Although I find that adds a flavor and isn't as good.

How about vanilla extract?
 
Is it ok to storage substances in self-sealing plastic bags? My current storage setup involves a plastic bag for each substance, which in turn are placed into another plastic bag to prevent moisture to get in. And the whole thing is buried among frozen berries in the fridge. Is this ok in the long term orr should I look into glass vials?
