A short google search suggests that LSD does not break down in water, but does break down in chlorinated water. Another short google search suggests that LSD is somewhat temperature sensitive. One anecdote described LSD that had lost potency after being left in a closed car in the sun (temperatures above 120° F) for several hours. Broiling a steak to medium rare involves placing the steak under a flame for 6 minutes, then flipping it and placing it under the flame for 5 minutes. (Cooking times are approximate and vary according to the thickness of the steak.) The edges are brown and the middle is pink with a temperature of 125° F. The edges would have a higher temperature. If one places a drop containing 250 micrograms of LSD (one dose by 60s standards) on the surface of a raw steak, would the dose remain on the surface or would it migrate throughout the steak? If it remains on the surface, one would expect the heat of broiling to destroy the acid. If the acid migrated throughout the steak, then several doses would be needed for threshold dosage to be ingested by each of four family members. This is assuming that the acid distributed evenly throughout the meat and that a fraction of the acid was destroyed during cooking.
