If you do it would leak because the bag would act as a selectively permeable membrane and let the iodine through.

How do you store LSD and how long will it keep?

LSD is a sensitive chemical so certain measures must be taken to store it effectively. The most important variables are reducing maintaining light and airflow. You should ideally use a dark amber glass container stored in a cool place. If you can't get glass using a plastic bag in conjunction with tinfoil (i.e blotter tab wrapped in tinfoil inside a plastic bag) is viable. LSD degrades slightly at room temperature so it's a good idea to keep it in a refrigerator or freezer. Under ideal conditions LSD will last for many years. Foil/plastic in a freezer will maintain it for at least a few years.

What are some environmental concerns about using the radioisotope iodine?

Iodine collects in the thyroid. If there is a radionuclide of iodine "loose" then we might end up ingesting it and having it collect in our thyroid. The radionuclide would sit there and irradiate us. That's not good. It's a bad idea to have radioactive iodine in the environment.
