The scientific or taxonomic name would be Bufo alvarius.
Are all toads psychedelic?
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.
Is a toad a dangerous thing to touch?
It's not dangerous at all, because they don't exist. Well, not the licking type anyway. This rumor is based on the fact that the Bufo alvarius, otherwise known as the Colorado River Toad, contains the psychedelic, 5-methoxy-Dimethyltryptamine, which is indeed a very strong psychedelic, but happens to be completely inactive if taken orally. To feel the effect, it must be smoked or injected; thus, you can smoke the Bufo alvarius' venom and get quite the trip, but licking it will just taste icky. Since most toads are toxic, licking any toad is dangerous, even the non-poisonous ones, since they may be bacterial breeding grounds for salmonella, or something similar to that.Actually, you probably can lick the Bufo alvariusand get high if you've ingested an MAOI, because they make 5-MeO-DMT, and N,N-DMTs in general, orally active. However, I'm not 100% sure that simply licking a Bufo alvarius would cause you to ingest enough; usually you would harvest the venom from several glands before taking it.You can lick a Cane Toad (Bufo marinus), and have psychedelic effects. Is it dangerous? Sure. But, aren't all drugs somewhat dangerous? The cane toad contains a unique toxin that is not, in the strictest sense, a psychedelic drug. However, one of the chemicals within the cane toad's toxin, bufotenin, or 5-HO-DMT, has been shown to produce psychedelic effects in humans.
