In the United States, don't be surprised to see someone grabbing a toad and putting it to their mouth and licking it with their tongue and sucking it! This strange behavior that can make people's jaws drop is by no means unique to him, and this phenomenon is actually popular among the "addict" population in the United States.

Sonora toad, mainly distributed in the southwestern United States, this toad also secretes toxins, but the Sonora toad's toxin is very unique, allowing humans to produce a psychedelic pleasure similar to drug use.
According to the research of scientists, after licking the Sonora toad, the human body will achieve extreme pleasure in a few minutes, and hallucinations appear, the effect is 4~6 times that of ordinary hallucinogens, and the whole experience duration is 10~60 minutes. Smoking this toxin can even replace the addiction of methamphetamine.
(The main site where toads produce toxins is called the posterior ear glands.)
According to people who have tried to smoke the toxin, after smoking, "the colors around them become extremely bright and bright, and countless absurd thoughts spring up one by one." Indescribable and eerie hallucinations followed, and the whole world was frantically shrinking or enlarging, twisting into incredible forms. The irrepressible excitement made me laugh out loud"
Since humans discovered this natural drug, toads have had a hard time.
Originally, this substance was a natural magic weapon for this toad to defend against natural enemies, but since scientists accidentally discovered that it contained a large number of hallucinogens in the early part of the last century, the toad was once hunted by humans as a protective animal.
Environmentalists worry that the giant toad is "harassed and harmed to the brink of extinction" due to the growing popularity of its venom.
However, although Mexican businesses are still advertising the drug in the name of toads, in fact, most of them already come from synthetic 5-methoxydimethyltryptamine, and do not need to be taken from toads.
An important reason for the popularity of toad toxin is that the toxin is not as drunk as psychedelic mushrooms that make people die for at least a few hours at a time, and only attack for less than an hour at a time, which seems more acceptable to many newcomers who have not tried drugs, but short time does not mean safe.
Last year, Spain revealed news that a local star and two friends were at a party, one of whom was poisoned and died, and the police investigation involved the involvement of toad toxins.
Many local hospitals have reported that they have received cases of toad toxin poisoning, and what makes the medical staff speechless is that they found that some patients did not ingest the toad toxin by the conventional method of extracting the toad toxin and then taking it, but chose an "ancient" method - licking.
Police in Clay County, Missouri, USA, arrested a young man suspected of drug use, who was accused of illegally owning a Colorado River toad, and the buddy was licking the toad from time to time when he was arrested.
Of course, licking is not a simple matter, some patients do not control the dose of licking, and then they are poisoned too deeply, sent to the emergency room, and even some people burp because of this.
In fact, when it comes to toad toxin poisoning, dogs also have quite a voice.
Because in the "animal paradise" Tuao, some dogs who have intersected with toads often have "drug addiction attacks" because they mistakenly play with toads that hide toxins...
In Tuao, there are too many opportunities for people and animals to contact strange creatures, and many dogs at home can't stop after accidentally licking the toad in the garden because of curiosity (some poisoning may even just come from accidentally eating the water in the puddle where the toad lies)
Tommy, the attending physician of a pet drug rehabilitation centre in Queensland, is familiar with this phenomenon.
"Queensland's dogs are becoming more and more addicted, and in addition to relapse, the centre is adding at least 10 new cases of toad-licking addiction every day."
In drug rehabilitation centers, dogs are also divided into three levels of drug addiction according to the severity of addiction.
The first level is newly addicted to drugs, but has not yet formed dependence;
The second level is usually repeated after going out, indicating that a withdrawal reaction has occurred;
The third level is that drug addiction has penetrated deep into the bone marrow, and will keep drooling, scratching the wall, like a psychosis,
For dogs poisoned into the bone marrow, they can become depressed, demented, and even forget their owners.
Because toad toxins are too poisonous to them, their nervous systems will even suffer irreversible damage and even be killed by drugs.
And the dog's drug rehabilitation method here is also very special, the drug rehabilitation team will go to the market to purchase a large amount of fresh mustard, and then take it back and apply it on the back of the model fake toad for the addicted dogs to smoke, so that they have a rejection of the toad, and then quit drugs.
