#bufo — Public Fediverse posts

Erste Libellen gesucht, nur Kröte gefunden. Der Kröterich hatte mich die ganze Zeit über im Blick. Näher ran ließ er mich nicht; er tauchte ab.

I watched a couple of short and recent documentaries on #psychedelics this weekend.

First, When the Smoke Clears follow US first responders as they go to a retreat in Mexico to work with #psilocybin, #bufo and herbal #cleansing baths.

@Yehuda The same has happened to the #Bufo toad in Mexico.
Same has happened to the rarer varieties of #Ayahuasca vine in Peru.

All the while we could produce mescaline, 5-meo-dmt, dmt & tetrahydroharmine synthetically, leaving these fragile ecologies alone.

But then we have the fucking ’natural health’ wanna-be white ”shamans” taking none of it, because it’s not ”spiritual”.

Fucking #psychedelic #colonialism
White privilege all the way through 🤮

This is a first peer-revieved paper about conservation issues with Incilius (#Bufo) alvarius, the Sonoran Desert toad, that is rapidly being decimated by the increasing demand for 5-MeO-DMT-rich toxin it produces in its glands.

I found a Gulf Coast toad (Incilius nebulifer) in the back yard this morning. 💚

@TexasObserver "#bufo" sounds like a setup for one of those #ligma jokes.

“Medicine” churches are popping up in #Texas, offering members a potential legal cover for #psychedelic rituals.

People spend thousands to learn to administer #bufo, a trendy but rare substance. Experts worry there's little oversight, leaving these groups ripe for abuse. And what Andrew Logan experienced with the Universal Shamans of the New Tomorrow left him shaken.
