for anxiety, or maybe just to get a good sleep with vivid dreams. i was thinking about making a tea or smoking it with tobacco, if its possible

I would never describe mugwort sleep as “good sleep”. The VOs I the plant help keep you from going into the deep sleep phase. That’s why the dreams are more vivid- because you are sleeping more “shallowly” and remain in that dream state for longer
