    Implicit in these numbers is this fact:
       While the cost per button has risen in a more or less linear fashion over time, the cost per gram of peyote tissue (which corresponds to the cost per amount of peyote required for sacramental use per person) has increased dramatically with the marked reduction in average size of the buttons being sold.
