Is there a Toad that produces an affect after a person licks it? Name information?

Answer 1

Almost all toads of the family Bufonidae have two lumps on either side of the back of their head, called the parotid glands. These glands contain a poison, which oozes out if the toad is stressed. Some, like Cane Toad Bufo marinus, are more toxic than others. Some "psychoactive toads" such as the Colorado River Toad Bufo alvaris, have been used recreationally for the effects of the bufotoxin, by either smoking their skin secretions or eating boiled toads.

Answer 2

cane toad

Bufotenin, one of the chemicals excreted by the Cane Toad, is classified as a Class 1 drug under Australian drug laws. This is the same classification as heroin and cocaine. It is thought that the effects of bufotenin are similar to that of mild poisoning; the stimulating effect, which includes mild hallucinations, lasts for less than one hour.[19] As the Cane Toad excretes bufotenin in very small amounts, and other toxins in relatively large amounts, toad licking could result in serious illness or death.

Answer 3

Ok i just took a psychopharmacology class on this and found out that licking it and receiving an affect is a myth. You have to cook them in water to receive the effect from bufontine (sp?). I would go reference my text book but I'm too lazy. But I did just read it in there and it was for a graduate level class.
