I didn’t even read the article yet.

I just LOVE the phrase “frog snot” because it’s my hillbilly version of saying bullsh*t.

:D

I say ‘Dog Snot!’ every time my Chihuahua sneezes.....................

I wonder if it would be effective against HIV?....................

Now I’m really hungry! The shipworm was just an appetizer! Spread some frog snot on some Ritz Crackers for me please?

Color me skeptical. Need to throw more money at this

[SMGFan]

well was it a rumor that some in the 70’s were licking the psychoactive toads to get high

[Red Badger]

And I’ve always wondered WHO was the first to try it and WHY?..................

If you step on a frog, blame the dog.

Anyone else remember when the DEA put a certain species of desert toad on the list of illegal hallucinogenics because someone discovered that the eye discharge of the little devils would produce a highly developed hallucogin.

I never understood why this would be a problem for the DEA to worry about since it seemed perfectly clear to me that finding drug dealers and buyers for the product would be few and far between.

I foresaw lots of problems. 1. What would it go for? $5 per lick of the toad?
2. How could it be enforced. (Honest, officer, that toad just came hoppin’ by. It don’t belong to me.)

Lenny was into toads. Lenny set up the toadlicking meeting with Barzini. It was Homer. It was always Homer.

Plus the officer would have to positively identify the exact species of toad....................

“Plus the officer would have to positively identify the exact species of toad....” I suppose the officer could field test it, but an undercover agent would be immediately knocked off if he refused to take a lick.

And then there would be the problem of maintaining the evidence in the evidence room. I can see where hundreds, maybe thousands of toads decomposing while awaiting trial could be messy.

Here in Florida we have small green tree frogs that sometimes get into your car’s AC ductwork and die. The smell is atrocious and difficult to get rid of............
