Herbs forum? anyone tried Yerba mate?

If not, does anyone know good forums on stuff like that?

I bought 500 gram of the stuff, and tried it with no noticeable effects. I have no idea, what I am doing wrong.

 

I recommend making tea, I felt very energized after drinking some yerba tea.

 

I have made tea, but no effect.

 

Its not going to get you 'really high' if thats what your looking for, its supposed to stimulate you the same as say, a cup of coffee.

 

my mom got me some of that from the health food store, didnt know it didnt anything but act like a red bull

 

Brew a strong cup (boiling water) an use the traditional filtered spoon. It gives me a strong buzz.

 

I used to drink it with my grandma with I was 12
the way its drunk is you would fill up 2/3 of your cup with Mate , add a tiny bit of cold water first , add sugar and hot water ( not boiling water , it will destroy the effect ) !
the effects are a general feeling of well being , very energetic , yet extremely relaxed at the same time ( you could fall a sleep easily on Mate )

hope that was of help !
enjoy

 

did you try snorting it?

jk dont try that. i didnt know it could do anything, i just drink it as tea, doesnt give me a buzz but neither does coffee.
