The Sonoran desert toad secretes a potent toxin that can make people sick. Despite the risks, some people have discovered that the toad's toxic secretions contain a powerful hallucinogenic.
This is correct, the usual method is to let them squirt the venom on a glass surface, let it dry and then scrape the venom off and smoke it. DO NOT DO THIS. Being caught and milked is very stressfull for the toad and they need their venom as a defense against predators. You can easily extract the same substance from plant sources that aren't too hard to get your hands on. There's tutorials for that online. I'm saying this for the benefit of the toads, not because i want people to start extracting 5-MeO-DMT, that stuff's nothing to fuck with. Guy i know smoked a huge amount of it (we're talking the range were Shulgin starts speaking of "heroic doses") and claims he had to actively choose to continue living. In that moment, he just didn't care that much if he lived or died and it felt as if he would just stop breathing if he didn't make a conscious effort to do so. He ultimately chose to come back, but he claims it was a close call. I'm not saying that i actually believe he would've died in that situation if he had made a different choice, he probably would've been fine. Just sharing that story because psychedelic toad venom has the reputation to induce that morbid kind of trip. I wouldn't mind a bit of DMT, but this stuff kinda scares me.
Yes the stories are pretty common about it godfathering you into choosing life by scaring the shit out of you. I'm not going out of my way when shrooms are legal.
Once you've had enough STICK the carrot looks better than when you first started
What? Licking it won't even get enough of the drug into your bloodstream to trip!
