Viral lick toad trend: Can a person get high after licking this animal

A viral National Park Service warning about licking toads highlighted the potent psychedelic 5-MeO-DMT found in Colorado River toads. While the compound is psychoactive, licking the toad is ineffective and dangerous due to toxic cardiac glycosides. This has led to poaching, threatening the species, while scientists cautiously study synthetic 5-MeO-DMT for potential therapeutic uses.
