Hallucinogen Dragon Venom?
The smallest type of dragon in my world is a bipedal dragon about the same size as a moderately sized bird, maybe about a falcon. In addition to its breath attack and high intelligence, this little dragon is armed with a powerful venom whose primary effect is powerful and persistent hallucinations. This would cause a person to see, hear, smell, taste, and feel things that aren't there, and the effects could potentially last for hours.
My question is simple. How is this venom made or acquired by the dragon? Would the dragon make it or have to eat toxic mushrooms for it? If so, what kind of environments would it need to live in in order to have access to the source of its venom?
