Cardamom

The Cardamom Hills are located in the Western Ghats mountain range in southern India, primarily spanning the states of Kerala and Tamil Nadu. This region is known for its lush greenery, rich biodiversity, and extensive spice plantations, particularly cardamom. The hills are part of the Western Ghats UNESCO World Heritage Site and are characterized by scenic landscapes and a variety of flora and fauna.

Cardamom plants typically take about 2 to 3 years to reach maturity and start producing harvestable pods. The plants thrive in tropical climates and require specific conditions, including shade and humidity, to grow effectively. Once mature, cardamom can be harvested multiple times a year, depending on the variety and environmental factors. Proper care and cultivation practices can enhance yield and quality during its productive lifespan, which can extend for several years.

(Directly from Wikipedia) Although the drug opium is produced by "milking" latex from the unripe fruits ("seed pods") rather than from the seeds, all parts of the plant can contain or carry the opium alkaloids, especially morphine and codeine. This means that eating foods (e.g., muffins) that contain poppy seeds can result in a false positive for opiates in a drug test. However the results provided will not be the same for someone who abuses opiates.

The type of quality you buy (depending on the size, color and weight of the pods) and the quantities you buy (either wholesale or retail).

Prices go as low as $10 per Kg to as high as $150 per Kg.

I think so - it isn't one of the common things that you're told not to take whilst on warfarin. Plus the amount of green cardamon powder that you'll actually be ingesting is fairly minimal; it's a fairly pungent spice so you will not need to use much. However, bear in mind that whilst on warfarin it is important not to deviate from your 'usual' diet too much.
