"for Mexican Tarragon I was able to track down a reasonably methodical study: Lazar, 2002 (Page 1176, Entheogen Review Archive).
“It creates ... increased dreaming (sometimes with weird content).” ...
There are also various anecdotal reports from around the web confirming that the plant does in fact deserve its status as an oneirogen. ... but it will have its own unique character that you can incorporate into your oneironautic arsenal alongside lucid dreaming induction techniques such as WILD or WBTB. ...
Mexican tarragon ... consume it orally.
... it’s vitally important to use very fresh leaves of this Mexican Marigold plant. The active ingredients seem to quickly dissipate and are not effective in the dried products available on the market.
This essentially means that if you wish to pursue an experience with Tagetes Lucida, you must grow your own. ...
Mexican Tarragon is a proven oneirogen that you can use to explore altered dream states, if you invest the necessary time to grow ... it.
Its effects, though real, are subtle compared to some other dreams herbs."

"Texas Tarragon". https://www.specialtyproduce.com/produce/Texas_Tarragon_13513.php
"The plant known as Texas tarragon is botanically classified as Tagetes lucida. It is known as Mexican tarragon or Mexican mint marigold. The perennial herb is also commonly called False tarragon, Winter tarragon, and Yerba anise throughout its native range. ...
Add chopped Texas tarragon to egg dishes, butters and cheeses. When heated, the flavor breaks down quickly, so add Texas tarragon towards the end of cooking. Texas tarragon can be preserved by steeping the leaves in vinegar, thus infusing the vinegar with its aroma and flavor. The leaves can also be dried; however, the flavor can be less intense than when fresh."
