KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- A 21-year-old man has been accused of using a toad to get high.
Clay County sheriff's deputies said David Theiss, of Kansas City, possessed a Colorado River toad with the intention of using it as a hallucinogenic.
Experts said it's possible to lick the toad's venom glands to achieve psychedelic effects.
Most pet stores don't sell the Colorado River toad because the venom can sicken humans and kill household animals.
"People used to do it all the time, but it got faded out awhile, but came back as a fad. Not a smart one," animal expert Danny Snyder told KMBC's Dion Lim. "The toxins in it can kill a lot of stuff."
Authorities said this is the first time Clay County has dealt with this sort of hallucinogen.
Theiss was released on bond.
The toad is in custody at a police crime lab.

I’d like to see the scene where his jail mates ask him what he’s in for?

Let's politicize this story.
The guy must be a Democrat because he's got the whole bit backwards. A girl licks the toad, and it turns into a rich, handsome, conservative Republican prince.

You know, if you lick a toad every morning, you have a 90% chance nothing worse will happen to you that day. Maybe he was testing the theory.

"Hey, hold my beer and watch this." I've heard of Toad Suck, Arkansas and Toe Sucker Dick Morris. I suppose there could be toad lickers, too.
