Re:Gift of the Moon, Bane of the Spanish: The Story of Yerba Mate on Wednesday March 18, 2015 @08:53PM (#9229640)

In Germany, you should give a try to Flora Power, another mate-based soft drink :

It's more difficult to find than Club Mate (it's a local brew from Hamburg). Depending on your taste, it contains much less sugar than Club Mate and feels more 'herbal', I prefer this.

"The Shulgin Rating Scale is a simple scale for reporting the subjective effect of psychoactive substances at a given dosage, and at a given time. The system was developed for research purposes by the American biochemist Alexander Shulgin and detailed in his book PiHKAL"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shulgin_Rating_Scale

PLUS FOUR (++++) [...] If a drug (or technique or process) were ever to be discovered which would consistently produce a plus four experience in all human beings, it is conceivable that it would signal the ultimate evolution, and perhaps the end, of the human experiment.
