Unfortunately, the growing mainstream popularity of 5-MeO-DMT has led to over-harvesting of the Bufo Toad (also known as the Colorado River Toad or the Sonoran Desert Toad.) Native to Northwestern Mexico and the Southwestern USA, the toad was already experiencing increased vulnerability to climate change, habitat destruction and other manmade environmental pressures prior to the explosion in 5-MeO-DMT’s popularity.

The Bufo Toad’s primary defense mechanism is to produce a toxin from is parotoid glands. In addition to the production of bufotenin toxin, these parotoid glands also produce 5-MeO-DMT. 

Toad harvesting for 5-MeO-DMT in addition to the significant environmental pressures the toad was already facing have led to the rapid decline of wild populations. The species is currently listed as threatened.

We believe that because 5-MeO-DMT can be safely synthesized in a laboratory setting, there is no need for users to cause irreparable environmental damage or resort to inhumane practices in seeking therapeutic, spiritual or recreational experiences. 

We do not sell or condone selling/using 5-MeO-DMT derived from the Bufo Toad.
