Just so everyone's on the same page...

The Fremmenik identified that there was some kind of otherworldly taint screwing with everything inside the dungeon, making the rooms all shifty and the plants all weird. So, to keep things infected with the rift magic from spreading into the regular world, they quarentined it. They had their seers cast a spell on the place - like, the doors and whatnot - that makes anything which passes through the spell unbearably heavy. The spell is so potent that even Thok himself had to discard his battleaxe in just a matter of steps.

So, while it would be physically possible to smuggle aloe and stuff out, it would be really impractical and probably wouldn't sell well, because probably nobody wants a three-ton smoking pipe.
