shipping lsd in this awful summer heat

So in my corner of the world it's been hot af lately; 90+ degrees fahrenheit AT LEAST daily. I ordered some tabs from BV a while back and while it was pretty warm back then, it wasn't nearly this bad. However when I ate the tabs (180ug) they weren't as strong as I expected based on research (it was my first time, but to be fair I still had a blast). So I'm thinking they might have degraded a bit. Anyways, like I said, it's even hotter now, but I'd like to order some more more L from BV. But I want to know if they'll degrade if it takes ~3 days to show up in my mailbox and I move them to a better spot as soon as they show up? Obviously don't discuss his stealth in detail in regards to how it will/won't protect against the heat, I'm more curious about how worth it is to ship L during the summer at all, or if I'm just overreating, and if I should just get some other psychedelic that's a bit more durable (suggestions?)

I think most people think LSD is going to be a lot more intense than it really is. I generally have to take ~500µg+ to get a super intense "oh man im tripping balls" feeling. 180 or 360 µg would have me having fun, but i would want more.

Don't worry about it. LSD takes a very long time to degrade and while the process happens at most temperatures, it actually takes a higher temperature than what you are describing to make it degrade fast. Making sure the light doesn't hit the tab is much more important. A couple of days of more warmth, won't be noticeable.

Same happened to me on a 5 tab order. Everything was bunk and I believe it was the 95 degree heat.

Super annoying.

I would think there would have to be some degradation but hopefully if it gets to you quickly it shouldn't be too bad.

I found a thread where someone asked a similar question last year, there wasn't really a clear answer but I hope it helps somewhat.

I once bought LSD that had been dropped on altoids and I took 2 hits and saved the other 2 in the altoids tin in my car for a week, in the middle of summer (100F temps around here, probably higher in my car). After that I moved it straight to a dark, cool, dry place. That acid was probably only 1/3 the strength of the original 2 hits :(

I'd say, if you're worried, order double or triple.

i cant imagine it does much more to it than bein stuck on a usps plane

Really hard to say, especially since it was your first time. No amount of research will tell you what to expect from a set dosage of psychedelic drugs. It's like books smarts vs street smarts, no matter how much of one you have it's no substitute for the other.

I'll second the idea that direct sunlight is far more potent than heat at ruining it.

It can be hard to judge the strength of LSD. I've taken largish doses that had basically no effect for more than 90mins (around 2hrs once) only for it then to hit like a steam train. Mild doses can be powerful and strong doses (however much they distort reality) trivial.

I think some of the confusion in the thread results from the strong tolerance you build up immediately after a dose. Taking more after less than 4 days will have a very minor effect and even after 6 days the effects are still significantly less.

But if you've any doubts whatsoever, 500ug is certainly a big hit if you've no tolerance no matter what anyone says. A lot of people will totally lose touch with reality at that level. Look yourself in the eye in the mirror and if you still think it's something you want to do then go for it, just make sure you're really up for it and you're ready to ride that train all the way to the last stop.
