No, most toads are not psychedelic. The one toad that is commonly used for recreational purposes is Bufo alvarius, which secretes bufotenin and 5-methoxy-dimethyltryptamine. The related species Bufo marinus also secretes bufotenin, but in addition it secretes large amounts of other toxins which makes it dangerous to ingest its secretions. The exact effects of bufotenin are somewhat disputed, but it appears to cause more unpleasant physical effects and less psychedelic effects than compounds such as psilocybin.
