it doesn't even do anything, maybe a mild energy boost but something about it makes me crave the fuck out of it.

I'm trans by the way, not sure if that affects anything

Mate is the good stuff. Avoid the smoked leaves if you're trying to avoid carcinogens, but smoked or not, it's a damn good drink. Somewhere between coffee and green tea.

The ready-made canned stuff is pretty trash though.

if you brew it the traditional way it's more stimulating than coffee. usually lasts for longer too
and the canned drinks don't really count, it's just mate-flavored soda with maybe 1% mate extract

This. They basically are just calling their shit "mate" as a brand name.

It's healthy and it provides you with caffeine. What else do you want?
