^^ha. Seriously, yerba mate is an herb that is comparable to cannabis in its positive effects on a person. I drink it before toking, and I haven't gotten the munchies to nearly the same extent as before. Plus, it totally curbed my appetite for alcohol. Because of its detoxifying effects, it clears out whatever residue is in my body that makes me want to drink again. Mate is maybe as effective an appetite suppressant as any diet pill, but radically healthier
