I know I'm usually the one to scorn people for doing stupid things, but it seems that my principles came back to bite me in the ass. Next morning (Today), I have a fucking horrible sore throat. Hurts to even talk sometimes. I have no doubt it's from smoke irritation. It could either have been the Mate, or the clear rolling papers I was using, but I'm betting it's the former. The being said, there were no immediate effects, although I had a pretty fucked up dream after I went to bed on it. Still though, not worth the effects on the throat. If you want to use Yerba Mate, drink it. Don't make the same mistake I did. Now, I'm stuck here trying to figure out how to get rid of this sore throat. Gargling with Sage as we speak. Anybody else had similar experiences with any type of smoke?
 
What sort of "effects" were you hoping to yield from smoking yerba???

Im not calling you stupid or anything, I just don't see the benefit of smoking this substance.....nor do I see where the motivation comes from to smoke it.
 
doesn't yerba mate have caffeine as it's active drug. next time try smoking coffee or black tea, or break off a piece of a chocolate bar and smoke it off foil...
 
noob. you gotta do an acid base extract first, then vape it off foil. you'll be balls to the wall then.
kidding. jut bought a new batch of yerba maté myself today, its a lovely drink couldn't imagine trying to smoke it.
Maté with Hibiscus gets me through my days at grad school. TA 9 hours of lab a week.
 
I actually found it to be quite pleasent.

I smoked about a gram out of my tobacco pipe, The smoke tasted a bit like green tea. The effects were slight...but noticeable, left me in a pleasant state of euphoria not unlike the effects of drinking it in tea form. It could have been a placebo thing though. Trying something new is not idiotic as long as you are willing to face whatever smoke comes your way. Nobody likes a crybaby. lol
