So I can ignore it.

Umm... No? Can you prove there is not a teapot in orbit around Mercury? The LSD dissolving out is exactly what one would expect of a water-soluble substance. The burden is on you.
> Why didn't you get them lab-tested?
Because I am not rich. Send me $300 and I'll be sure to lab test any additional batches.
> Or at the very least reagent tested?
Because an Ehrlich reagant only shows the presence of indoles, and wouldn't show me what I needed to know, which was whether there was LSD, and what total dose was present.
> In fact, now that you have clarified that you ran your entire experiment with mere 1(!) tab worth of LSD (let's give the tabs the benefit of doubt), I can't help but be amazed at how quick you are to arrive at conclusions.
That's the thing about micro doses. They're, well, tiny. You only need one or two normal doses to make enough microdoses to test. That's what the power calculations were about, whether I needed one or two entire tabs.
> Were the tabs stored in an airtight container before being turned to solution?
They were shipped airtight and kept airtight until I tripped, then the remaining tab was mostly but not entirely sealed until a week later. Given that people routinely stash tabs in books and other places, I doubt that the week did it much damage.
> Your post, however, did not give me the impression that you knew what you were doing when you were handling the substance, and I remain unconvinced even after reading your reply.
Given your failure to provide any real information, despite your criticism, I'm not convinced you know what you're doing either.

Really? Let me remind you what you wrote in your little supercilious comment about the fatal flaws:
> And I can't resist a little addendum - you would have done much better if you simply swallowed those two tabs, sat down in a comfy chair, put some nice music on, and tried to figure out what are those extravagant claims of psychonauts about ;)
You should have resisted, because you look like an idiot when you say that and I turned out to have done exactly that without the consequences you apparently expected.
