I live in Florida and asked AI if licking toads was illegal. Here's the response.

Some toads (not all) — notably the Sonoran/Colorado River “toad” and certain Bufo species — secrete chemicals (including 5-MeO-DMT and other bufotoxins) that are controlled substances in many countries. In the United States 5-MeO-DMT is listed in Schedule I, so manufacture/possession/use outside approved research is illegal.

Here are other schedule one drugs..

Heroin

Marijuana

LSD

Ecstasy

GHB

Methaqualone (Who the hell can get Quaaludes anymore?)

Peyote

These are actually called Colorado River Toads but they live down here in the AZ desert. We had one on our patio two days ago but it was too big and ugly to pick up and lick. I WAS tempted. These guys are interesting in that they live/sleep underground 10 months a year and come out to mate during the monsoon.
