Question

I got recommended by a friend from Argentine to drink mate..

and now, long time later, some guy asks me :

mate? so you like getting high?

I don't get it?!!

Answer 1

If you are on anti-depressants, yerba mate is a big No-No. If you have a seizure disorder, it's a No-No, too. You should make sure your doctor knows you take it, if you have heart palpatations or mood swings. You could be in trouble.
