What drug is mate? Hell, thinking of taking up kava kva if it's not legally frowned upon in my state.

I like mixing yerba mate with mint tea in the summer. Super refreshing.

>>12613874
>>12613861
It says yerba (mate) in the image name.

It's from a holly-like plant.

I tried this stuff out of a can and it wasn't great. Is it different when made fresh?

Coffee is a drug. I'm asking what the active ingredient it in makes worth ingesting.

>>12613925
>Coffee is a drug.
No, it's not.

>>12613835
Fucking based yerb drinker. C*ffoids need not apply.

>>12613943
It is. A relatively weak one, but it is.

>>12613921
Mate will pretty much always taste like shit unless you mix it with something else. I think it's tolerable when it's cold enough, but the main draw for me is that the caffeine rush is waaay nicer than coffee. It's longer-lasting and smoother than coffee and it doesn't give me the gnarly afternoon crash / headaches that I get with coffee.

I feel bad for y'all if that's what weed looks like where you live

If you're still drinking coffee in year of our Lord 2000+19 you should just just take a hammer and hit your dick as hard as you can cuz that's what your doing to your liver. Dumbass.

>>12613877
Kava seems kinda iffy because it's not really regulated and you can get liver damage if the plant is infected with mold (which is entirely possible considering there's not much incentive for a shady company to ensure their product is clean). You can get your kava tested, but honestly that seems like way too much of a hassle

>>12613982
Yeah, I'm gonna need a citation for that.

What renowned medical institution considers coffee a drug?

Matecocido con un chorrito de leche 10/10

I have Mate in my pantry but I almost never have it in the morning because the instant caffeine rush isn't as satisfying as just gulping down half a cup of coffee.

Morning-me doesn't seem to care whatsoever about the upcoming crash, headaches or stomach ulcers.

>>12618308
Does coffee cause stomach ulcers?

>>12618370
not him but yeah, if you drink insane amounts everyday.
>>12615418
many people I know think mate is an aquired taste, but I genuinely like it. The brand of yerba mate has much to do with the taste, same as the proportion of sticks/dust. I recently tried barbacuá yerba mate and it's real good

>>12618073

If you like yerba mate, you might also like guayusa. Its related to yerba mate, they are both from ilex trees from south America, but this is much less bitter. Its earthy, kind of comparable to a, oolong, and has a lot of caffeine in it. Its also really cheap. I mix it with my green tea when I need extra caffeine.

>>12617618
What reputable medical institution does not consider caffeine to be a psychoactive substance?

>>12613982
Coffee is actually good for your liver dumbass

>>12613835
Yerba's weak, flavor profile's pretty dull and uninteresting (especially when compared to all the different intense coffee flavors out there to enjoy), and its entire market outside of South America is people who are afraid of coffee and want some vaguely ethnic seeming herbal crap to make them feel like they're "being healthy."

>What reputable medical institution does not consider caffeine to be a psychoactive substance?
Not him, but you're trying to call coffee a drug which is different from saying caffeine is a psychoactive substance.
I don't know of anyone for example who considers theobromine containing chocolate a drug unless they're calling it that as a joke about how much they like it. Or anyone who calls cheese a drug just because it contains tyramine.

>anon likes coffee
>that means we HATE coffee!!!!

this is you
this is your clown attitude

>>12619476
People drink coffee specifically for the caffeine hit.
You're trying to tell me edibles aren't a drug because there's a brownie wrapped around the 11-Hydroxy-THC.

>>12619596
>People drink coffee specifically for the caffeine hit.
Then why does decalf exist and why is it available and consumed in large amounts pretty much everywhere coffee is served? Not like it's a niche market, decalf's pretty fucking common and popular.

>>12613874

>>12619596
>People drink coffee specifically for the caffeine hit.
Then why does decaf exist and why is it available and consumed in large amounts pretty much everywhere coffee is served? Not like it's a niche market, decaf's pretty fucking common and popular.

>>12619596
The brownie is just a delivery mechanism for the THC, like how coffee is the delivery mechanism for caffeine. But I can see that if a drug is a part of something then the whole thing can be thought of as a drug.

>>12619614
>Then why does decaf exist
For people who have developed caffeine sensitivities through coffee abuse but can't kick the habit of hot bean water in the morning.
See also: dealcoholised beer.

It's still a niche as hell market, it's just that coffee is so universally popular that even the faction of it that become burnouts are still a large number.

>>12619614

Anon made an embarassing typo and deleted his post.

>>12619634
>dealcoholised beer.
That's why I made a point of mentioning how ridiculously common and popular decaf is. It's everywhere to the point of every coffee drinker having at least one time in the past where they one way or another ended up with decaf and were disappointed by it.
You don't see non-alcoholic beer all over the place like that. Non-alcoholic beer is a small niche market, unlike decaf.

>>12619615
Cannabis is also just a delivery mechanism for THC.
Is cannabis not a drug?

>>12619693
>Making posts about a typo someone already corrected, after they already corrected it.
You must be fun at parties.

>>12619596
>You're trying to tell me edibles aren't a drug because there's a brownie wrapped around the 11-Hydroxy-THC.
Do you call cheese and chocolate drugs though?

>>12619696
>every coffee drinker having at least one time in the past where they one way or another ended up with decaf and were disappointed by it.
And they were disappointed by it because it doesn't give them their caffeine fix.

>You don't see non-alcoholic beer all over the place like that.
Literally every grocery store has non-alcoholic beer in it. Every beer drinker has had at least one time in the past where they one way or another ended up with dealc beer and were disappointed by it.

>>12619715
Do you say cannabis is not a drug?

>>12619717
>Every beer drinker has had at least one time in the past where they one way or another ended up with dealc beer
I have never once had that happen to me nor have I ever heard of it happening to anyone else.
Decaf is always sitting there next to the regular coffee machine, often noticeable through the use of orange coloring on the top. Nobody sets up non-alcoholic beer taps next to regular beer taps.

>>12619449
It has a nicer caffeine hit. Sorry if I triggered you with my post about mate.

>>12619720
Edibles don't have cannabis to begin with, you add it to them. Caffeine in coffee's analogous to tyramine in cheese and theobromide in chocolate, and nobody goes around unironically calling cheese and chocolate "drugs."

>>12619728
>nicer caffeine hit
What does that mean? Just less caffeine?

>>12619726
I have never once accidentally had a decaf and nor have I ever heard about it happening to anyone I know.
I trusted that both of us are smarter than to assume our individual experiences are representative of the whole, but I can see now that I am arguing with an idiot.

>>12619738
I'm not talking about edibles there, I was reiterating my point against "coffee is just a delivery mechanism for caffeine": >>12619704

>>12619744
It makes me feel far less jittery than coffee and the caffeine rush lasts longer through the day. Coffee usually gives me major headaches in the afternoon if I drink enough to actually feel awake in the morning, but I can drink massive amounts of strong mate and rarely have that problem. I dunno man, you should see for yourself. I mostly made the post because I wanted to see if anyone else had the same experience

>>12619748
>I have never once accidentally had a decaf and nor have I ever heard about it happening to anyone I know.
You're being ridiculous. Accidental decaf is a super-common cliché. Look it up, it happens all the time. Non-alcoholic beer is not like that at all, nowhere close. Like i've been telling you, decaf is genuinely everywhere regular coffee is, non-alcoholic beer is only around in one small little section of supermarkets, if available at all. It's as expected you also serve decaf if you're serving coffee as it is expected you'll offer cream and sugar.
I shouldn't have to spell this out. It's common knowledge and I'm not sure if you're intentionally pretending not to know all this or if you're just very young.

>>12619748
>>12619772
What is the point of arguing the semantics between chemical and chemical delivery mechanism? The concept of a "drug" is constructed anyway so it could really apply to either.

>>12613835
current year? learn what that means anon. 2015 is the current year, we're in the current year +4 right now

>>12619772
>You're being ridiculous. Accidental decaf is a super-common cliché
You're being ridiculous. That one box of dealc at a party is a super-common cliché. Look it up, it happens all the time. Like i've been telling you, dealc is genuinely everywhere regular beer is.
I shouldn't have to spell this out. It's common knowledge and I'm not sure if you're intentionally pretending not to know all this or if you're just very young.

>>12619838
The difference is you're lying and I'm not:

>While NA offerings carry less stigma in international markets, widespread acceptance in the U.S has been a challenge. According to Nielsen, the domestic market for “near beer” is tiny: The near beer category has accounted for just 0.3 percent of total off-premise beer sales year-to-date, or about $80 million of a $29 billion market.
https://stir-tea-coffee.com/features/decaf-in-demand/
>Decaf is growing in Europe, particularly in Spain, which he describes as “a very good market.” In Spain, 20% of coffee drinkers prefer decaf, compared to 10% in the US.
Less than a third of 1% for non-alcoholic beer vs. 10% for decaf coffee, come the fuck on you dishonest piece of shit.

>>12620014
All you're doing is demonstrating that decaf is a niche market, counter to what you claimed before.

>>12620031
How is 10% niche?

>>12620031
Also how much higher were you expecting? Did you think anyone was talking about decaf as 50% of the market? Why are you being so difficult and dishonest?

>>12619596
>>12619634
Why do you manchild faggots think you can speak for other people's tastes? I enjoy the taste of coffee and couldn't give less of a shit about the caffeine hit.
