Greed and profibality has America entangled in it's snare. There are still many growers especially on the West Coast that still deliver low prices... but in the East since we are so far from any supply source we pay ridiculous numbers. IF it wasnt for the fact that people rely on me for their herb I wouldn't take part in this nonsense whatsoever.. but more often than not im waiting on the next harvet so I get what I can get.
