As a native Marigold of Mexico and Guatemala, T. lucida is well known by the locals as a substitute for Tarragon (Artemisia dracunculus), and as such is used in teas, vinegars and dishes. The Zapotecs use Tagetes as a primary herb in purification rituals. It grows throughout central and southern Mexico. The plant is popular with the Tarahumara Indians of Chihuahua and is used by the modern Huichol Indians in their religious (peyote)rituals. Smoked, the plant is said to enhance closed-eye visions.
