    There is at least one toad and two types of frogs that primarily have a DMT type of drug contained within their venom....

    I have done a lot of drugs in my days but I've never had an opportunity to smoke or snort any secretions of any amphibian.

    I know a lot more about the subject but I'm not going to sit here and spell everything out...

    If you actually want to know about this subject you need to go and do yourself a little bit of research....

    Make your way on over to Google.... Or go down into Central America, on a hippie trekage....

    PS.... Might consider the trade of certain species of mushrooms for the trade of

    certain species of amphibians..... ;)

    ( Absolutely and 100% total humor ...... )

    One is called the giant monkey tree frog. The shamans go out and capture the frog by mimicking its call. They string the poor frog out by its legs and arms and for one day they scrape the secretions off of the skin and then release the frog.

    The person who is going to ingest the substance has one to three small burns put on their arm by a flaming piece of wood. The secretions are then rubbed directly into the wound. Which causes an immediate reaction of purging.

    Then there is another South American frog whose venomous smoked known as "sapo".

    Then there is an American toad out west whose venom is also smoked.

    Rubbing into a burn wound sounds worse than drinking reindeer urine to get the hit off fly agaric without the toxins.

    I've never done that species and don't really have any intention to. I've done psilocybin hundreds if not thousands of times.... But don't really want to do that again either.

    I may never take another psychedelic drug again in my life but I find them all fascinating

    Yes, I reach my safe limit years ago. Probably 20 years now.
    I wouldn't say never but I don't have any plans to ever take them again.

    What were the Seminoles into?
    Did their shamen have any mind altering drugs?

    I'm sure they did. I doubt there was ever much of any indigenous culture that did not.... Though I don't really have much of any idea what they might have used.

    Maybe nightshade or Jimson weed? I'm sure there were psilocybin mushrooms growing and the southeastern United States during their era. Common lore, says those should have showed up with the arrival of Spaniards and cattle. Probably in the early 1500s.

    But there were bison that roamed the plains and Florida... As recently as the last ice age 12,000 years ago.

    No telling what sorts of plants are fungi or animals that ancient man was interested in.
