I know you're not talking about the coca plant, but along those lines I read that for some reason it is only coca from South America that is worth making into cocaine. The plant can be grown anywhere, indoors or out, but it will have only a tiny fraction of the alkaloid that makes cocaine if it's not grown in the Andes mountains. It has been theorized that the ultraviolet light of the high altitude is the reason. That's why South American drug cartels will never go out of business - no one else can make their product.
