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.

How many tadpoles does the average toad have?
American toads are often the first of the frogs and toads to breed in ponds, along with the spring peepers. Eggs are attached in long strings around plants. Each double string of long spiral jelly eggs contains an average 6000 eggs (someone told me that it is really 2000 but it does not really matter; it is a lot!)!! The large female and active male can stay joined for hours and submerge for long periods of time to avoid predators. During the night, males give off very loud trills (like brrrrrrrrrrrr but very high) to attract females but they tend to clasp together throughout the following day once he succeeds in attracting a mate. The eggs hatch in 4-11 days or so.
