Recipe for a dragon

Recipe for a dragon.
Mostly based on the description of the Taraskon dragon of Provence, France and Spain
-- plus some guess work...  Please Do Not Try This Recipe, it might kill a person, or cause cancer, or cause a severe mental health episode.

I do not yet know how these ingredients were used.  But I'm guessing that in the right amount, this mixture might work something like ayahuasca.

Ingredients for a Taraskon:
  Dandelion latex, Taraxacum officinales - works like opium
  Bumble Bee sting, Apitoxin
  European yellow-tailed scorpion venom, works like Viagra
  essential oil of tarragon, Artemesia dracunculus
  Saint John's Wort, Hypericum perforatum
  (and maybe ergot?  maybe with or without alcohol?)

Edit:  I had the wrong scorpion in the recipe.  I believe it may have been a species of Buthus not Escorpious.  Other ingredients may have included snake venom and dragonflies but I can't do the bio-chemistry to sort them out.  Also curious about Gum Tragacanth which was once used in dragon water...
