A coca plant is an example of pre-War flora, used in the production of drugs.
Background[]
Myron explains the challenges of creating barbiturates after the Great War to the Chosen One. He states that the new climate does not allow for plants previously used in drug production to grow, such as coca plants and opium poppies.[1][2]
Appearances[]
Coca plants are mentioned in Fallout 2.
