It is not a lick thing, that is a myth. you have to smoke the bufotoxins (a type of DMT) Licking would make you extremely sick. If you have a frog, but no means to use it for the drug then it is only illegal because it is considered endangered if you live in CA. I think it may be legal to only possess in AZ, but I would double check with state laws if you are looking to get one.
That's what I was thinking.
Anyways, no, I'm not looking to get one. Was just looking at other toads and I saw this one. If people want to mess around with DMT, there are MUCH more humane ways of acquiring it. In my opinion, it is incredibly cruel to terrify one of these toads into producing toxin. My state doesn't have any extreme laws on exotic pets. You just can't own native potentially dangerous wildlife like raccoons and coyotes.
