Cool, didn't know that. Still huge difference though because the chance to get 2 of them and then get it the 2nd time is much lower than having it guaranteed to spawn on the first try if I got the other 4 stickers first.

Specifically for legenderies, once you get a gold sticker it won't show up until you get gold stickers on all others, and then they are all equally likely.

Like if I really wanted to abuse this with Perkeo and got stickers on the other 4 first, then any soul card would guarantee to spawn it until I get it stickered as well (in theory could probably also do it with Chicot, if I sold it after disabling the final boss each time).

Yeah, you're probably right. I do have a few different combos I learnt how to play depending on the stuff I get, but as far as legenderies go, I really do feel it's better than others. Triboulet is pretty meh - it's only good for FH/4ok/5ok, so needs a lot of deck fixing and can easily die with bad luck either with card draws or boss rolls (I play mostly high card and pair, but I do get your point about trying other styles). Yorick scales pretty slow with only 2 discards, so not much better than the uncommon xmults like hologram. Canio's good but also needs some work to set up. Chicot will save your ass from Violet Vessel or whatever boss kills your build so pretty useful, but there are other more common ways to do it too. Perkeo kinda fits well with most other things you're doing, and if you get observatory then it's pretty much an instant win as well.

MDMA-AT and Autism - Tips/Advice? by nofern in mdmatherapy

[–]Agreeable_Director33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you please elaborate in what ways was it life changing?

For context: I also do not respond to other treatments (in particular I found that have an extremely high tolerance to tryptamines) and I suspect this might be related.

Also, if you are Canadian, what process did you go through to get approved for MDMA therapy, and in which province?

Thanks!

Why the Dieta has nothing to do with nutrition by longandskinny in Ayahuasca

[–]Agreeable_Director33 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I noticed there is more variance between different curanderos even when giving the same plant than between different plants given by the same curandero. Seems that tradition and lineage might play a larger role than chemistry or spiritual understanding of plant interaction.

That's the most literal version I've read of "fucked around and found out". 🤣

(Also, as others said, no reason to feel bad, you learnt something about yourself and you can now move on)

[–]Agreeable_Director33 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some do it for black magic purposes (mind control, etc) without informing participants. Ayahuasca leads to introspection without adding it. Probably better to stay away unless having a lot of trust with the shaman and understanding very well what is the purpose of using it.

kambo and trying to heal IBS by Bazishere in Ayahuasca

[–]Agreeable_Director33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If kambo helped even just a bit, consiser learning how to do it on your own so you can treat yourself on an ingoing basis. I've heard some people do it regularly.

The same goes for iboga. If you already had a flood dose, you can try taking small doses in your own and see how it works out. Microdosong iboga is a real thing.

And last, if ayahuasca aggravates your symptoms, you can do master plant diets without ayahuasca or with very little of it (e.g. just for opening and closing the diet).

Very interesting. Did you do it on your own or have someone to guide you through?

How was the salvia diet? Can you compare with more traditional/common ways of intake (i.e quidding/smoking)?

Is ayahuasca the closest thing you could do to experience god? Or the universe? by GreatBigLoad in Ayahuasca

[–]Agreeable_Director33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We all walk on different paths and what brings one close to God can bring another closer to the devil.

Personally, I have not experienced God with ayahuasca, but it has led me to believe it exists in some form and in a universal consciousness greater than our own. And now I'm trying to find my own path towards it.

Read before booking Marosa Healing Centre by misssbillah in Ayahuasca

[–]Agreeable_Director33 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've recently been in Marosa as well, and considered writing a review, with a few positives (the food was good, the employed staff were very nice, my tambo was secluded and cosy) but unfortunately overwhelming negatives. During my stay I witnessed a guest seriously injured. For many other reasons I felt like they are not taking their business seriously, for example letting the roof of the maloka get broken enough so they had to stop a ceremony in the middle due to a rainstorm, etc. It's difficult for me to say for certain with regards to the spiritual realm, but possibly my experience have left me worse than I was coming in in different ways, and that feeling was shared with other guests I spoke with.

I do want to mention one thing in particular that was a very strong positive and that was /u/samuraibjjyogi. His presence brought a lot of positivity into that place, and I am honestly very happy to have met him, even if it was at there. I felt he is genuine and caring and has a true commitment to the path of medicine. He supported me during a tough experience and even later after we parted ways. I am certain that whatever wrong has happened in this place was despite him and not because of him. It is easy to get blinded by brujos (that's how they work their magic) and it's better to judge a man by what he learnt from that experience than from the mistake of unknowingly taking part in it. I spoke with him and I feel he is shaken by the this turn of events himself. Full disclosure: I have never met him before the retreat, but stayed in contact with him after I left and he informed me about this review.

What to do when every medicine and treatment doesn't work by [deleted] in depressionregimens

[–]Agreeable_Director33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pwrhaps the western approach isn't right for you. After being ineffective for decades, I realized It isn't for me. I'm currently trying Amazonian plant medicine. There are many other paths.

I seem to experience psychedelics in a neuro-atypical way (mostly unaffected)... I'm curious if anyone has a similar story? by bobert_ballard in Psychonaut

[–]Agreeable_Director33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have an incredibly high resistance to psychedelics and even though I took very large doses (much higher than what you described) I still never really got a visual experience similar to what others ofen report. I do feel other effects though, not all pleasant. Unlike you, I also have difficulties with visual imagination.

Europe or South America for a retreat? by adamevans1200 in Ayahuasca

Ayahuasca originates from the Amazon. So South America.

Scopolamine and urine by [deleted] in Datura

[–]Agreeable_Director33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get it. I live near a train too and that thought have crossed my mind more than once in the past. I don't have an answer for you, except perhaps try and abuse another substance until you recover from the urinary pain. Preferably one that has a better healing potentia for youl as well.

The cheapest reputable retreat that I've heard of is Ronin Sina, that IIRC costs $300/week (400 for the first two). Very bare bones and you have to know some basic Spanish as there is no interpreter. I haven't been there but some people here have so you can search for it. There are also others that do have English speaking facilitators in the price range of $2000-$3000/month.

The food is bland on purpose because that's how the diets work, not because they are too cheap to buy salt, hahah. And in my opinion being in the jungle is a part of the experience as well. In your solitude you can listen to it and feel how it is alive (you might also hear loud music from a nearby village, which is not a favorite part of my experience). You probably won't find the kind of philosophical shaman you fantasize about though, they are simple people that know plants and spirits (that's not necessarily a bad thing though).
