Please don't lick the toads.
The National Park Service made a plea last week to help protect the Sonoran desert toad, which is the most poisonous animal on the planet.
The effects of the toxin can be seen from a different point of view. It can make people sick and can even be deadly, according to some. It's called the "God molecule," a hallucinogenic so potent it's often compared to a religious experience.
The Park Service joked on Facebook that it might be a good idea to keep your tongue off the toads.
"As we say with most things you come across in a national park, whether it be a banana slugs, unfamiliar mushroom, or a large toad with glowing eyes in the dead of night, please refrain from licking." I would like to say thank you.
The demand for the toad's secretion has increased in recent years, with a growing retreat industry serving those seeking the mystical experience. Participants pay hundreds or thousands of dollars to experience the experience. It takes 15 to 30 minutes to finish.
Most people don't Lick the Toads. 5-MeO-DMT can be dried into crystals and smoked in a pipe. It is legal in Mexico even though it is illegal in the US.
The National Park Service did not respond to a request for comment on how many people have tried to lick the toads. Smoking the toxin, known as Five or Bufo, has been a practice for decades.
New dangers have been brought to the Colorado River toad due to rising interest in the experience. They are usually targeted by animals such as raccoons and run over on roads, but they are now also targets of illegal activity.
The people collect the substance by stroking under the toad. There is a substance that can be smoked.
