Never heard of the stuff. Sounds like a name of some Rapper though, so probably not something I'd be in to.

Not a modern rapper name, though. It sounds too cool.

ever heard of folks licking toads to get high? very likely that 5-MeO-DMT is the substance that they're getting high on, depending on the species of toad.

toad-licking was in the news recently, something about in the Park Service asking the public not to do it, so i have to assume this is where this quote (and subsequent updating ) came from.

a always thought that bufa toxin was used on the tip of a cigarette?

 

[sweetcell]

a always thought that bufa toxin was used on the tip of a cigarette?

it can be either swallowed/licked, or smoked (full disclosure: i've never gotten high off of an amphibian, so i'm speaking purely based on what i've read).

also: "Bufotoxins are a family of toxic steroid lactones or substituted Tryptamines" - of which 5-MeO-DMT is a member </taxonomy>

 

[soccerdad]

I thought lactones were the notes played by lactose. But I slept through a lot of science classes.

i've never gotten high off of a frog either....but when i was on the shroomery, i thought i read somewhere it had to be smoked or it was TOO toxic or something?


something like breaking down the molecule, but not sure....

i'll just leave as something to be avoided....

"a recent study.....demonstrated improved memory for information learned prior to alcohol use. The more participants drank, the more information they recalled from a memory task given to them the morning after drinking" (https://alcohol.org/effects/drinking-while-studying/)

Take me back to high school, now I know how to make my math study sessions more memorable! . Who'd have known? having a couple of cold ones after pulling an all-nighter does make a better student. Man, I never was the best math student and I remember paying for like a whole semester for this precalculus tutor app service and didn't really make any difference.

I want one of those stoles with the head on and teeth bared. I love those things. On my way.

I want one of those stores with the head on and teeth bared. I love those things. On my way.

Stoles? I remember when there were a few of them at the local thrift shop, with teeth of one animal biting into tale of another, 3 or 4 animals long I think, it had a clip so one could close the circle. That was in the early '80s when minks were probably at least 50 years old. Semi disturbing with the glass eyes & crooked teeth, and of course they were past their prime....getting kind of moldery.

I remember me and my gal laughing at them, ... but that brings up memories of lost times....
