The production of this spirit has increased tenfold over eight years, driven by high demand abroad. Agave monocultures have been expanding across the country.

        Who gives a shit if its good…sorry I’m on the same vibe as OP in that our greed has to ruin literally everything because people can’t just control themselves for a second and think big picture.

          Yeah, there’s nothing in the rulebook that says supply has to meet demand for nonessentials like fucking mezcal. I like mezcal but it’s not a requirement.

        Look into Bozal. My husband says they replant and other good stuff. Too lazy to look it up right now
