Man arrested for planning to lick hallucinogenic toad

A man in Missouri has been arrested for possession of a hallucinogenic toad.

Police in Kansas City say David Theiss planned to get high by licking the Colorado River Toad's venom glands.

The 21-year-old is accused of possessing the toad "with the intention of using it as a hallucinogen".



They said that many pet shops in the area do not stock the animal because the venom can make people sick and can kill household pets.

Authorities in Clay County said it was the first time they had dealt with such a drugs bust.

The toad was kept in custody at a police crime lab.
