Is a Colorado River toad hallucinogenic?

Filed Under Bufo Alvarius basics | 

I was recently asked the question: Is a Colorado River toad hallucinogenic? My answer was: No, but its venom could be if it was processed correctly. There is a lot of misunderstanding about Bufo alvarius, also known as Sonora desert toad or Colorado River toad. A lot of the mis-information involves the toad’s venom, which contains bufotenin and 5-MeO-DMT. It is said that, when dried and smoked, it produces a hallucinogenic effect. Details on how to prepare the venom are available here. (You’ll have to scroll about halfway down the page.)

This website is primarily concerned with how to make a Colorado River toad purchase. We have been in contact with a very reputable Colorado River toad supplier, Bouncing Bear Botanicals, located in Kansas. Whether you want to purchase a pair and try breeding Bufo alvarius toad, or simply want to make a single Bufo alvarius order buy, the folks at Bouncing Bear have been very helpful and knowledgeable. We get the impression they really care to make sure the toads people purchase from them are well cared for and looked after.

Also on their web site is a great deal of information about setting up a comfortable Bufo alvarius terrarium, making sure it is quiet and dark. Basically, you want to set up an environment for them that replicates as well as possible the Sonora desert environment they are accustomed to living in. Just look for the link that says “Click Here for Bufo Alvarius Care Sheet.”
