Maybe - but I wouldn't try it. You may also die or wish you were dead.

Toad Licking

You've probably heard about 'toad licking'. Go out into the woods, find a stream, find a toad, lick it, and ta-da! La-La land. Well, it's not EXACTLY like that... although, finding mushrooms is ALMOST like that, except you don't go into the woods, you go into a pasture, and instead of finding a stream, you find a pile of cow flop... but that's another subject. But anyway, back to the toad thing.

First of all, if you do happen to find the right toad, it wouldn't be a good idea to lick it. The stuff that 'gets you off' is actually venom. The frog secretes the stuff when it gets agitated, such as when a predator is about to gobble it down. As soon as the wolf or gila monster or whatever puts the thing in it's mouth, it spits it out, because the venom tastes like ca-ca. But a human, however... a human dedicated to catching a buzz will go ahead and lick the toad, because he's got a new-fangled cerebral cortex that suppresses his natural instincts for long term survival in favor of his need for instant gratification. So before you go stuffing toads in your mouth, here's a few things you should know.

The toad's venom is concentrated on the surface of it's skin, and that's why licking is dangerous. Smoking it is a different story, however. The toxic ingredient in toad venom is called bufotenine, which is burned off while smoking. After the toxic stuff is gone, what's left is the hallucinogen 5-MeO-DMT. THIS is what sends you to never-never land. The only toad known to contain 5-MeO-DMT in it's venom is Bufo Alvaris, also called the Colorado River Toad. It is found in the Southwestern portions of the U.S., usually along the Colorado River in Southern Arizona, California, and Northern New Mexico. 5-MeO-DMT is classified as an unscheduled substance, which means that it is legal to posess... but B. Alvarus venom also contains bufotenine, which is scheduled, so you are hereby warned of all the cop crap.

B. Alvarus is a very large, squat toad with smooth, leathery, greenish-grey skin with tannish underparts. It has several round warts on the body, and four large parotid glands found where the hind-leg meets the body and also above the ear membranes. They can grow up to 9 inches long, but they usually range between 4 and 9 inches. If you ever do actually have one of these greeblies in your hands, be very careful, because as I stated earlier, it secretes venom when agitated, so wear gloves or something and don't rub your eyes or any other orafice on your body after handling it.

Toads: Bufo toxin IS mildly hallucinagenic, but it also causes cramps and seizures, and tastes bad. Most toads have some, but a few toads (such as the Cane toad) excrete quite a bit. You'll experience a minor trip, but come on- licking a TOAD fo a minor high? That's pretty desperate!

UFO, Bigfoot, etc.: Demand proof before belief. There is no good evidence for any of this stuff. Many people have confessed to helping make footprints and helping fake movies of bigfoot, and danged few UFO investigations find ANYTHING to suggest that ANYTHING happened.

Yes they are called poisonous dart frogs but you have to be careful because the poison in some of them could kill you! They are very expensive frogs and they are illegal in many states!

went to wikipedia to get this answer as I had heard you could but wasnt sure if it was just a myth.

According to the text, you might get a bad taste in your mouth, but getting high from licking them is just an urban myth.

posted the site in case you wanted to read more.
