The origin of Skooma

Do any of you guys know what plant Skooma is made from? Or where it was originated?

http://www.imperial-library.info/fsg/jalearticle1.shtml is the best source, I find, on skooma.

Some quick bits: it comes from Elswyer, where the sugar cane trees grow that produce Moon Sugar. Moon Sugar is then refined into skooma, using nightshade (a highly toxic flower)

It is also significant in Khajiiti economy: a major source of income for both the northern tribes and the urbanised south, and the Renrijra Krin insurgents in Cyrodiil. It even has a place in Khajiiti religion, with Sheogorath being called the Skooma-Cat.

It almost makes me think what Sheogorath would look like, if he was a cat.

Hold up there! Everything I've read from in-game sources says that Moon Sugar falls from the sky and into a lake.

I also take the alternative theory that http://www.imperial-library.info/mwbooks/bm_song_uncle_sweetshare.shtml is the reason behind all Skooma and Moonsugar, not to mention the biggest producer and distributor.

Could you make skooma with alchemy in game? I never much bothered with alchemy, but always wondered what the empty skooma vials were used for.

no, not in-game. Would have been neat though to run your own drug lab.
