40 grams for 20$.
That's South America for you. I didn't take it because I'm on a little tolerance/drug break, but wow...if only we had those prices up north a bit.
Do you think the quality is a lot worse than Cali-grade?
PS - Yerba Mate seems to be the "big thing" around here, anyone have experience with this herbal tea? Worth a shot? I wouldn't consider that a drug, so I'm happy to try it during my "break" anyway.

It's a lot worse than cali grade I'd say. Cali has really dank nugs, and I'd doubt you'd find that quality in south america for that price. You could probably find hash though, that's what I'd go for.

Yerba Mate is worth trying, IMO. It has it's own flavour but it grows on you.

Taste aside, how are the effects? Noticeable? I've heard mixed reviews.
Erowid explains it has a stimulant like effect on one's focus. That would be neat, like khat.

What country are you in? most of the commercial stuff I came across in south american countries is comparable to America's brick weed / low-end mids. the Cali-grade medical stuff costs a little more.

Price and quality of weed varies greatly depending on the country you're in, South America doesn't say that much.

I'm currently a few hours from Montevideo, Uruguay, and I'll be traveling to Buenos Aires in a few days.
You think quality drastically differs by country?

Oh no way will it be near Cali quality, but could be better than the stuff you get in the mountains of peru. A good friend of mine went hiking up Machu Picchu and said the weed looks like dirt, a harsh/not too good tasting smoke but it gets you high.

Absolutely, in Argentina you're most likely to find only brick weed mixed with toxic chemicals added to press the brick back in Paraguay, in Chile same history although natural weed is available if you have the right connections (i.e. not on the street) and can be as expensive as in Cali ($20 a gram).
I went to Machu Pichu this January and they had one of the dankest buds I've smoked so far, yet you also had to know the right guy because most of the dealers have only mids/badly grown weed.

Luckily I'm not trying to smoke this trip; I've heard similar things about brick weed processed in paraguay and transported around.
I just thought it was funny that I was offered around an ounce and a half for 1/15th of the price of an oz in the states.

It's just caffeine, although more concentrated than coffee. I love the taste but you gotta drink it out of a "gourd."

Haha that's tight. Yeah it's really good like that. You fill the gourd, boil some water and let the temperature drop just below boiling, pour the water over it, and then when you're ready to drink, put like a heaping teaspoon of sugar on top and let it sink down into the brew. Actually it gave me a noticeable buzz which I don't get from coffee.

Probably a rip off if it's anything like other weed I've smoked in Latin America

I would take $0.50/gram of shitty weed anyday! I would end up making edibles with it :P
In India they have shops where they sell Bhang, which is a cannabis infused drink. It's cheap as shit!
