Toad Venom (5-MeO-DMT, Bufotenine, Serotonin, N-Methylserotonin, Tryptophan, 5-MTOH, 5-MIAA, 5-HTP, Bufovirdine, Bufotalindin)
Toad Venom is the milky white substance that is excreted from the parotoid glands of the Sonoran Desert Toad, Incilius Alvarius (formerly called Bufo Alvarius). The substance can be collected with human manipulation, dried, and smoked for profound psychedelic experiences. The medicine is short-acting and ranges from 15-45 minutes in length. The effects of smoking toad medicine include ego dissolution, deep emotional release, feelings of leaving the physical body, and can sometimes include spiritual visions.
Toad Venom is composed of approximately 15%-20% 5-MeO-DMT and a mixture of other alkaloids including Bufotenine, Serotonin(5-HT), and 5-HTP. It has been credited with anti-depressant and anti-addictive effects. The venom also contains cardio-toxins that are burned away as the medicine is vaporized. The Sonoran Desert Toad is the only animal in the world that produces serotonergic substances in its venom and skin.
People who have experienced Toad Venom often report that it feels like a near death experience and ego death. When administered in the appropriate setting, it can be the death of negative thought patterns and self-destructive behaviors. Other benefits of 5-MeO-DMT include:
