Psychoactive plants and fungi are becoming more well-known, and we are beginning to hear more about amphibians whose secretions are also able to alter consciousness. The toad known as “Bufo” is increasingly being talked about in the media and online forums.

But this infamous amphibian goes by many other names, scientific or otherwise, which we will get into more detail about here.
