Some people get high on big frogs in Arizona. Or so said the urban legend. And then a few weeks ago Youtube suggested me a video (Joe Rogan maybe ?) where the differences between ayahuasca DMT and frog DMT were discussed. In the comments someone said. "It happened to my chihuhua ! I was walking my dog (I'm from Arizona) when that huge frog squirted his venom at her. The poor animal convulsed for 30 minutes."

Amazing.

You are referring to Bufotoxin / Bufotenin which is produced by some toads (of the Bufo family).

You can read more on Wikipedia:

That venom in it's raw form is poisonous to everything . It's highly dangerous but when smoked it's converted to 5-meo-dmt which isn't poisionous
