Yet Another LSD Storage Question (sorry)

I've read 20+ posts on the storage of LSD and have come across some great posts, but nothing specific enough to answer my question. Swim will be picking up 10 hits of lsd tomorrow. Next week is his best friend's birthday, so they will be consumed then. The problem is that they are on 10 sugar cubes, and swim is worried that those won't last long enough. He will need them to be stored for 8 days, and doesn't want them to loose any potency (LSD is hard to come by around here and it's kinda a one time thing for his birthday). He will have them wrapped in cyran (sp?) wrap and tin foil, and plans to put them in a cool place (storage under his house = low temp) out of the light. He may even bury them, or just hide them in the back of one of his drawers. Will they last a week and what would you do? Thanks!

Just like most of the other threads end at, basically it just needs to be kept cool and dry, if you're afraid of the sugar in specific melting or something just put it in the fridge to guarantee it. But seriously it will last a week with no problem even if you left them out on a table.

Shulgin says LSD is an unusually fragile molecule and some comments are in order as to its stability and storage. As a salt, in water, cold, and free from air and light exposure, it is stable indefinitely. There are two sensitive aspects of its structure. The position of the carboxamide attachment, the 8-position, is affected by basic, or high pH, conditions. Through a process called epimerization, this position can scramble, producing isolysergic acid diethylamide, or iso-LSD. This product is biologically inactive, and represents a loss of a proportionate amount of active product. A second and separate point of instability is the double bond that lies between this 8-position and the aromatic ring. Water or alcohol can add to this site, especially in the presence of light (sunlight with its ultraviolet energy is notoriously bad) to form a product that has been called lumi-LSD, which is totally inactive in man. Oh yes, and often overlooked, there may be only an infinitesimal amount of chlorine in treated tap water, but then there is only an infinitesimal amount of LSD in a typical LSD solution. And since chlorine will destroy LSD on contact, the dissolving of LSD in tap water is not appropriate.
