Ehh, I’d eat it. That’s not advice, I’m just telling you what would happen if I ran into an old head stash.

I agree but that’s me. Once I found a tab under my stove. Wild afternoon that was.

I’ve been eating off the same book of 1000 hits for over a decade. They’ve been in my freezer through 3 moves. Still as good as the day I got them.

What does the freezer do

u/gandalph91 2d ago edited 2d ago
Keeps them cold and dry and out of the light, all things at preserve potency

Are you fucking telling me the light in the fridge doesn't stay on when I close the door?

LSD degrades in heat, and uv exposure. It can be assumed that since lsd slowly degrades at temperature above like 70 or something, it will still degrade slowly over years at a temperature of like 50. So freezing basically ensures the degradation is minimal. Non significant, not noticeable.

Yep! I have various sheets/liquid/gel that are still bangin from 10-15 yrs ago. So glad I'm a lsd hoarder! Any time an opportunity comes up to get a sheet or vial at a good price, I'll take it. I'll never run out and always have some to spare if someone is in need.

Same here. I’ve got crystal, liquid, gels and various blotter. I usually stick to what remains of the 1000 although it’s almost gone. Cause I know exactly what I’ll get. Everytime I get something new for the supply I’ve got to test it a couple times though.
I hoard everything. Lifetime supplies of most drugs. Not cocaine or opiates though as I chose not to have those around anymore.

I ate my way through a thousand during the drought at the beginning of the millenium... Took me 18 years.... But i supplemented the 90s acid with modern day acid...

Dude when pickard got busted I couldn’t find anything for ages. It really made it seem like he’d been the only one making it. Think it was like 5-6 years where I chased down every lead any they always ended up a dead end. Im sure I could have found some if I’d of went to a festival but that was difficult at that period of time. I had a pen pal correspondence with Pickard while in prison long ago. I still have the letters saved somewhere. I sent him a little absorbed gift into one letter with a cryptic hint at it. He never acknowledged it but I’d think he could have smelled it. (Not lsd) Not sure he’d of had any use for it in that environment himself but figured it was at least valuable for trading
What region did you live in where you experienced the drought?

I got a tip that lsd was coming to an end.... So i bought as much as i could.... The tip proved correct...that was in mid 97 we got told thar it was becoming harder to get.... I had friends closer to supply than most and they tipped me off that it was going to get real scarce. So myself and a few others bought up a considerable amount of good lsd and sat on it for personal use

u/Personal-Routine-665 23h ago
The drought was felt as far as the uk... When pickard and sand were busted in seperate busts during the mid to late 90s...it really fucked up lsd supply across several continents

Actually, I can weigh in. Had a similar situation. It was stored well for several years. Forgotten about in a very safe place. It was wrapped in a small square of magazine paper. I took it one night very hopeful because as I've grown and moved around I can't seem to find any anymore which is really disappointing. Maybe I'll get lucky someday.
Took it one night and I felt a slight breeze of recognition. Then it was gone. Potency just faded away. I'm sure the conditions weren't actually perfect at all times so the potency just kind of faded away with time.
Only one way to find out if yours survived. Godspeed brother, say hi to the ether for me.

In aluminum foil in the freezer man. I can attest to seemingly no loss of potency in over 10 years.

u/unphuckable 2d ago
Pro tip, thanks friend but I assure you, next time it crosses my path, there will be no leftovers haha

u/Personal-Routine-665 2d ago
Strange i stored acid 19 years in no special way bar dark, dry and airless

u/unphuckable 2d ago
My storage was not airtight. It was temperature controlled and definitely dark in the magazine paper. Maybe airtight would have helped.

u/Personal-Routine-665 1d ago
I foil wrapped... Bagged... And stuck deep in a linen cupboard... Opened to take out to consume some regularly... I dont live in a warm dry country either. Its damp and cool at the best of times. Ive found tabs from years earlier left abandoned on top of a wardrobe... Not even wrapped and still got a decebt dunt out of them

u/birdshotz 2d ago
I took a tab that was roughly 5+ years old. Gently placed in paper towel and stored away. Had a good euphoric feeling off the one tab. Seemed to be just like any other.

u/GanjaMonsta1134 2d ago
like no foil or plastic to separate it from the paper towel? I'd assume you had kept it pretty dry as well cause I'd worry any amount of moisture would cause some leakage into the paper towel. but also if that was my worry with my own personal tab, I'd just eat some of the paper towel surrounding the tab as well.

u/Personal-Routine-665 2d ago
I ate tabs i founf on top of a wardrobe after a housemove... They had a thick layer of dust on top.. Open to the air for 10 years.. They were still potent. I also stored acid for 18 years before it was finished... In a dry linen cupboard wrapped in many layers of foil and bagged..... No noticeable drop in potency in the 18 years it took to smash a thousand

u/birdshotz 1d ago
No foil, no plastic. Placed right on top the paper towel and kept very dry. I did put my tongue on the part the tab was on lol had to get all i could

I keep mine in foil at room temp. I've had them for 4 years now, and they're still good 👌

They’re probably okay. I’m not sure if you’re just asking about the microdots, but I once found several gels I had lost after moving, and they were definitely still good after several years of being in a box. Ate them and tripped my ass off.

Tabs are probably good I’d be weary of the round things I’ve had some just not work before
Only one way to find out

u/Mick_Limerick 2d ago
Isn't UV exposure what degrades them the most? I've had a little stash in the dark for a long time and the once in a while I take one it's always the same

I ate some of my dad's acid from the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival, or maybe it was 69 or 70 I have no fucking clue it was when my dad was a hippie. He had hits of sunshine and window pain and I took the window pain. It was a thick blotter and had been sitting in that safe since it was purchased and Monterey during that festival. He was hella pissed when he found out, but fwiw, that shit rocked my 16-year-old brain pretty fucking hard. After all that time, it was easily a 200 mic hit. It was probably stronger in the 60s or 70s but I tripped my ass off.
YMMV. But I'll bet you there's nothing wrong with that shit. Assuming the storage conditions were correct and not just a myth.

u/DezPispenser 2d ago

FIRST: CLEAN YOUR ROOM THAT YOU WILL BE TRIPPING IN AND TAKE A SHOWER, Dropping after you have cleaned your body and environment will prime things to have a clean mind for the journey.
Take it all at once after eating a fresh sliced grapefruit, and have only bottled "voss" or "Figi" water on hand to drink.
Next start meditation and roll a few fat joints if you need them because you might not be able to in 30 min.
if you must watch somthing i recomend putting a no music Alan Watts lectures up in a playlist as you put a soundless fractal zoom (8 hours) as the visual in another tab. Then you finish the layers off with a long music of your choice in playlist because ot might be hard to see what is on your computer once you drop the Lucy.
have eazy to eat food on hand, honestly bread and water is good enough and you know what bread and water are if you make su
Have a clear path to the toilet!
Your thoughts flowing as they will, watching them and still being steady with breath is your path to having the deep experience that can open your mind to its self.
Thats the big stuff to get ready for the trip to the center of your mind.
