The desert receives little rainfall and plants have to compete for what little falls. They grow a distance for their neighbors to avoid competition and have a better chance of surviving.
Because the desert is too arid for them to survive.

Succulent plants and cacti need to store as much water whenever the rain should happen to fall. As the rain may be far between in desert areas, storing water is vital to help the plants to survive.
There is limited water available in the deserts so plants tend to space themselves to avoid competition from other plants.
How far from what?
Only the Chihuahuan Desert enters far-west Texas.
In a desert, what little rain there may be is stored in the stems and leaves (succulents), or in the swollen body (cacti). Desert plants may also send down deep roots to seek out any ground water far below.
No, desert plants can survive in dry environments with little water. They have adaptations such as deep root systems or succulent structures to store water from sporadic rainfall or surviving on minimal water sources. While some desert plants may grow near lakes or rivers, many are found in arid regions far from these water sources.

Marijuana plants generally produce the most THC. So far as I can tell, no other plants have been discovered that also produce this fascinating chemical.
It is located in Western Australia, more specifically the eastern central part of the state, far inland from the western coast.
