No way we are going back to that chemical infused bullshit they brought from bolivia and Paraguay. There's been a huge shift that's not price related. Compare it to the rise of Home brewed beer against Coors light or some other bullshit. You have now a huge amount of people that Is not going back on Quality. Period. That and the fact that a Lot of people in theory forties and so on are beggining to use, mostly edibles, because it's not demonized anymore.
