bufotenine typhoid the drug found in toads in the colorado river (and in australia?). higly toxic. unsure as to whether it is possible to get anything by licking them, smoking apperently works better and destroys the toxin. also contains (whoa!) our good old friend dimenthyltryptamine (DMT). 000628 ... typhoid hmm. more evidence suggests that bufotenine is not a psychadelic, it is just a cardiotoxic that reduces the amount of blood and oxygen to the "user's" brain. it has a similar structure to seratonin, but doesn't cross the blood_brain_barrier very well. 000628 ... typhoid i've gotten interested ;) this article (http://www.erowid.org/animals/toads/toads_media1.shtml) says that bufotenine is 5_OH_DMT. i don't think this is the case. ah, here: toad venom contains up to 15% 5-MeO-DMT, as well as N-methyl-5-methoxytryptamine, 5-MeO-NMT and Bufotenine. wooee. but the venom causes cardiac arrest in dogs and small children if taken raw. don't lick it. milk it and then smoke it or something.. reports still say this is unpleasant. but it's a schedule 1 drug like LSD, heroin, felony for possession. 000628 ... typhoid one last and final word: http://deoxy.org/trypfaq.htm#toads taken from reliable sources. 000629 ... bownan when a dog chews a cane toad it foams at the mouth, thrashes and and is dead in about 20 minutes...I've seen it happen... it is very VERY distressing to watch :-( (the nearest vet was 2 hours away.. so we spent 20 minutes in the car with the dying dog) 000629 ... Splinken someone told me about the bad things in australia. frogs and spiders and snakes and jellyfish and sharks (sharks!!). ack!! am i going to poisonville? 000629 ... Brad Mwa ha ha... so when do you leave for your chemical hell, molly? 000629 ... bownan It's hardly poisonville... there are a few spiders, snakes, jellyfish, fish octopus, sharks, freshwater crocodiles, saltwater crocodiles, toads and a few other little nasties that can kill a human outright but for the most part they seem to leave us alone 000629 ... birdmad Australia sounds like Arizona, except with beaches and cooler people MUCH cooler people 000629 ... bownan you obviously haven't been to Australia recently.. we sadly lack coolness here... the beaches are fanfuckintastic though 000630 ... bownan I'm being unfair... there are some cool people here.. just seems I met only dickheads that day and it put me in a crap mood.. today I met cool people and the world is good again... reality is made of plastic 000630 ... poetic_onslaught lol....i always wondered how homer simpson got high from licking those frogs. 020423 what's it to you? who go blather from
