Advice on organizing large collection of drugs.

I have in possession about 40 substances of in varying amounts(some illegal some RC.). and looking for types or containers. Whats the best way to go about organizing them? I have been thinking rolodex or a hardware drawer but cant decide between any of them considering some are in the 200-300 mg range and others the 5-6 g range and some are all ready capped. Id also like to label them properly.

  1. Go to walmart
  2. Buy $300 worth of home office/ art supplies
  3. Smoke some crystal meth
  4. Wake up 9 days later with the most organized drug collection of all time.
  5. Buy meth to put in empty "Meth" container

Glass vials with custom-printed labels (including IUPAC name, molecular structure, CAS number, and a small row of color-coded boxes to designate the drug's category).

Example: MDA


MDA.HCL

1-(benzo[1,3]dioxol-5-yl)propan-2-amine

The three boxes would represent something like "Psychedelic", "Empathogen", and "Stimulant" and each one would be a different color (and for other drugs, there would be other colors). You should also add warning stickers for drugs with MAOI activity and such.

Arrange them neatly in a foam-padded suitcase (with cutouts so you can fit the vials inside) grouping first the serparate classes of drugs, then grouping analogs/homologs (arranging those in alphabetical order). Print out and laminate a "legend" so you can easily identify the color-coded boxes.

Anything on tabs can be stored flat in a plastic bag (unless you want to opt for longevity, in which case vacuum sealing/MBBs would be appropriate).

Or you could do what I do and write the name of the drug onto plastic baggies with Sharpie marker.

Lots of head shops (at least near me) sell different sized vials and containers for your special collection :-)

Hand them over to me, I'll organize them well! :D

Dobel tequila has been selling their bottles with cool little "instrument" cases. Pretty cool, and great for keeping small glass jars. I use the guitar one as my traveling bud sales case. https://imgur.com/dmmX8Fp

Vials in a foam filled suitcase. Write the name in sharpie on some masking tape and label those bitches

goto home depot they have containers for holding lots of different fasteners, or you could get like a fishing tackle box :) if they are not flat things like a small bag of powder or something then i would think some kind of organizer like that would be the way to go, They have some pretty cool set ups if you search for them, probably even more options online. I think they make these containers you might be able to find at like an arts and crafts place or again online, that are used for storing different types of beads (like beads for making jewelry or something)...

OOO! I know. you know how they have little card catalog things from the library, but they have them in garages for things like nails, screws, o-rings(forget the names) of various sizes? Archaeologists and physical anthropologists use them to sort stuff. That would be awesome.

A lot of mention about the Fear and Loathing suitcase. I actually do like to keep my drugs in order of class, purity, quantity, and so on.

Idk man, just something to play around with you know. It's a drug collection. House it how you choose.

But out of anything...I would hope it's a container that locks...just saying.

I've always wanted to have an excuse to use one of these cases and if I had the problem of organizing 40 substances I'd totally try this. http://smile.amazon.com/T-Boxx-STB-321-Sortimo-Standard/dp/B0017VFXOY?sa-no-redirect=1

Lots of good suggestions here. I'd like to add that if you use vials, amber glass vials are exceptionally classy and sexy.

If you get this done, be careful about showing off your great and beautifully organized collection. It would be hard to resist the temptation not to, but this kind of thing could potentially give a person a high profile.

I use fishing tackle boxes. They sell clear, flat containers at walmart with adjustable compartments.
