This sounds like an amazing, low key, character-centric game.  Well done!

As for the plant, could it be something that used to be more common but
land development/use destroyed most (all?) of its habitat and the sole
remaining examples are kept by what would be the local equivalent of
Earth First!  They may not be violent eco-terrorists, but they have a
deep reverence for the plant and what it can do, almost to a
mystical/religious level, and while they may allow a leaf or stem to be
sent away for research purposes, they maintain a very close control and
stewardship of the greenhouses where the survivors are kept.

I'm not a green (I drive a Lotus and am planning on adding a Jag
XKR...so no green here ;-) ), but I think given the reasoned and
educated exploration of sex workers, that perhaps adding or touching on
an environmental issue with a bit of activism that surrounds it
(specific to the scenario and not making judgments on real world events)
might be a viable option.
