Personally I don't think it actually matters if it's alcohol or water, though ice might break the vial more easily. It's a problem when you have cells like fresh mushrooms have, if you freeze them the frozen cells burst because water expands and because the cells break you lose consistency and get mushy goo when you thaw it.Ī vial of liquid is just a solution, the LSD molecules in solution are ok when you freeze-thaw. I know this is the case with many tryptamines, but I didn't think it was with LSD.

But I think i could be totally wrong.Īlso, I heard from someone that LSD degrades a little faster when it's in solution. I just have a little worry that the solidifying of the solution could do something bad to it.

Even if it was dissolved in water, would it be ideal to freeze? Is freezing vials the best bet if you want to keep it from degrading? Do I have anything to worry about if all the liquid freezes, or would it not change it? I know I would need to let it thaw before opening the mason jar, but I'm wondering if it's recommended, as I would like to preserve this amazing sample. Would there be a problem if I froze vials for long term storage (i wouldn't be dipping into them reguarly)? How long after taking it out of the freezer would it be 100% safe to open the mason jar with no risk of moisture getting in? 3 hours?ĪLSO: Would silica gel (dessicant) be ideal to use? Wouldn't it theoretically suck up the moisture in the vial (the liquid)? I know there's some alcohol in it, but I don't think it's 100% alcohol so I think it still could freeze. But lets say it's in an ice drops bottle wrapped in foil, and in a glass mason jar, completely airtight. I'm worried that all the liquid would freeze, resulting in something bad. And LSD is the drug just about the most sensitive to suggestion of all drugs.Ī Bit unrelated (I'm sure it's been asked but I couldnt find it): Can vials of LSD be stored in the freezer? No I am not calling anyone gullible, it just seems to work that way for people. This is because of an effect similar to placebo that turns the anticipation of the known expected effect into an actually felt effect. Like I said you can only go the other way if it is an equilibrium.ĭon't really have another explanation though for what happened to you other than that set & setting can be that powerful.īy the way the more often you have taken a drug in the past the sooner the effects may be felt.

But you cannot go the other way, that is a law of chemistry. So the best you can do is slow it down so much that it virtually stays the same. If you have LSD then it is broken down by factors like heat, water near it / in the air, oxygen and UV radiation (in light), it always happens but if you store it very well it happens at a very slow rate while if you store it very badly it can happen quite quickly. LSD deterioration is irreversible if you are not in the last synthesis step with a reaction in equilibrium. No there is absolutely no basis to believe that the potency may increase that way.
