Sorry to hear that. At least, as you pointed out, you got a mini tolerance break. And you got a decent gram for $5.
Back before "BC Hydro" was a thing and the good weed was seasonal and imported, we had horrible dry spells. Long after the roaches of the roach joints were gone a new shipment came and it always seemed so much better than the last stuff!
OMG I am sounding like an old man.
