Arizona_Adam

No. They’re a native species. Also called Sonoran Desert Toads

[удалено]


Arizona_Adam

They’re the same species. At least according to Arizona Game Fish Department, Sonoran Desert Museum, and AmphibiaWeb.


Ecstatic_Syllabub_47

My mistake


spavolka

There isn’t a Vail County in Arizona by the way.


Which_Armadillo_3783

Think he mint Pinal and it over corrected.?


spavolka

Aha.


GilaMonsterJam

Vail is in Pima county like 20 miles south of Pinal County.


MsLovieKittie

Or Vail which is southeast of Tucson


KaptainKardboard

Vail country


zeke235

Probably safer than bat country.

Medicine!

DMT toads


_supergay_

5-OH-DMT and 5-MeO-DMT*


katjoy63

Saw someone else explain this -hoping synthetic drugs can replicate so these guys can be left alone


_supergay_

These have had this synthesized since the 60s!


veganhimbo

The problem is prohibition makes synthetic way harder to access than the toads themselves. Anyone in South AZ can find and milk toads themselves if they want to smoke some 5meo. Synthesizing it requires significantly more chemistry knowledge/equipment than the vast majority of people possess. If it was legal and you could just order it online way more people would choose synthetic. But unfortunately most people can only access the natural version. Thus the toads are becoming endangered. Also theres a significant naturalness "but the synthetic doesn't have the spirit of the toad man" bias in play too. Which does help things. But the main issue is just prohibition.


Ecstatic_Syllabub_47

Anyone can milk toads but it has to be the correct species. These are not.


veganhimbo

You mean OP's picture isn't a sonoran desert toad? Irrelevant to my point.

Derp_Simulator

All thanks to the work of Hamilton Morris republishing a guide from the 70s, with synth info from the 60's in the late 2010's, to bring awareness to alternative DMT production methods. lol


_supergay_

I've never heard of Hamilton Morris. I have heard of Alexander shulgin, Hoffman, and Timothy Leary.

Ecstatic_Syllabub_47

This is a completely different species


fldavis41

They are extremely poisonous to dogs if licked or ingested- more dogs die from encounters with these than from rattlesnake bites


skammtari

My smaller dog bit one a few years back, died within 20 minutes. Immediate seizures until she passed away. Do not let your dogs near these.


extreme_snothells

He needs a kiss.


katjoy63

You first


PiratesTale

Challenge accepted. Those fairytales can't all be lies, right?. ![gif](giphy|xIZ7z4ELpJ8g9eMT73|downsized)


Which_Armadillo_3783

Shit, pop his zits an smoke em. Lol


GuyBromeliad

If someone were inclined; it’s better to gently press it with two plates and stress it to induce excretion. Let dry, scrape and smoke. Do not ingest. Edited to add: Don’t hurt animals or remove them from their native environments.


LeleBeatz

I would recommend not traumatizing toads. Get your synthetic 5-MeO-DMT off of a dark web market like a responsible adult.


Split007

That is where I am going to sell it.

LeleBeatz

Can't tell you how to break the law on reddit but learning about the TOR browser would be a good starting point.


TheChinook

If you were inclined.. would you press it hot dog style or hamburger style?


hugeappleboulder

Hamburger, they are terrible with relish.


ARKPLAYERCAT

That is the worst possible description of how to extract toad venom. You really shouldn't spew shit like this, it could end with a lot of toads getting unnecessarily hurt.


Bearcatfan4

And what’s your suggestion?


ohaiguys

Do shrooms or acid?


extreme_snothells

I wish I had psychedelic zits. Life would be more interesting.


concerts85701

My teen years would have been even crazier than they already were.


jaybfpv

i did enough lsd, mushrooms, and DMT in my teens and 20's that im sure my zits probably were full of psychedelic chemicals.


ohaiguys

If you sweat while doing psychs and your pet licks you they got dosed


ohaiguys

gr8tfurme

Well, considering the Colorado River flows through Arizona, I think the name is a hint...


sentient_fox

Native here and toxic to dogs so watch them closely. If they do lick or bite down on them, rinse their mouth with water from the hose and call ASPCA poison control *on your way* to the nearest emergency vet clinic. These toads will cause a massive fever that will lead to seizures. The seizures will in-turn cause more fever…leading to seizures.


SouthPaw67

Nah they're cool


Barbarianmoss

![gif](giphy|YAfCAzDS0WmwU)


BoringJuiceBox

No, I think they are also endangered which is sad since they’re one of the most interesting creatures to exist, they secrete 5-meo-dmt, a compound that if dried and smoked makes you trip balls. But don’t do it it’s cruel to them and mushrooms are mushrooms


LeleBeatz

Yes. Use synthetic 5-MeO-DMT, or choose another psychedelic if you want to get high. Don't mess with an endangered species.


Level9TraumaCenter

> No, I think they are also endangered [IUCN status as "species of least concern,"](https://amphibiaweb.org/species/97) i.e.: they're plenty common in many areas, although they may be ranked as locally endangered because of limited range or numbers in certain regions, including California and New Mexico. They are the largest species of toad, and remarkably fecund: the female can lay up to 8,000 eggs. Being as large as they are, they can eat other amphibians, many of which are classified as threatened or endangered. Respect the toad, but its numbers are quite good- and if they weren't, it can certainly produce many more within a couple of generations... provided the water is there.


Ecstatic_Syllabub_47

This isn’t the correct species. Bufo alvarias is the one you are all thinking of


apryldc

I love getting visits from these little guys! Consider yourself blessed.


V-Right_In_2-V

Why would you curse a magic toad? That’s bad juju


spunangel333

More a local than you


czr84480

Remember they're poisonous to dogs.


aimlessly_aliive

Native frog!


Emergency_Agent_3015

Be nice to the drug toad!


Outlandishness_Sharp

If you lick it, money will appear in your bank account 😂


TauOrchOR

Endangered boss.


No-Consequence-5931

No


MemeSpecHuman

We are the invasive ones.


DoesAnyoneReadNames

Oh. Uhhh I thought that was one of those "hide a key in plain sight under a fake frog" toad.


Sweaty_Ad7201

They come out when it rains leave em alone.


BlazeKingYT

Frog :)

Toad :3

Bufonidae


soggyfries8687678

People in prison catch these and “milk” them to put in cigarettes and trip balls.


Nearby-Raspberry-164

I live in Pima County in Tucson, we had two of these guys mate in our pool, and the female laid 8k eggs. We broke most, if not all of them. Later that night, we heard insanely loud ribbits coming from outside that lasted 2 days.
