How do you keep a lifetime supply of LSD? Isn't it an unstable molecule with a limited shelf life?

Someone accidentally tripped on LSD while cleaning a vintage synth from the 60s

Er no... LSD stored correctly can last an awfully long time. A lifetime supply for one person? Sure unless that person is Timothy Leary and his entourage!
The plan was to order 350 tabs to Finland.

The 300 tabs letter was scanned with lights and got caught.

The 50 tabs letter actually arrived but was obviously lost because customs began their investigation.

In Finland, LSD happens to be "an extremely dangerous" substance and 350 tabs gets "offensive / serious drug crime" (349 would not necessarily). I didn't know this; kind of funny.

However, this was all calculated in the sense that with all probability I will not go into prison nevertheless. Simply cannot try again any criminal activity in Finland / ever / for a long while.

LSD will last long time stored properly. Putting those small bags that packages use to remove moisture into airtight plastic bag and that into dark place where tempest doesn't vary lots.

It keeps pretty well when kept cold and dry.
