The Sonoran Desert toad, or Colorado River toad, is an amphibian of the family Bufonidae. There is a contemporary and increasingly popular neo-shamanic practice of vaporising and smoking the bufotoxins found in the toad's skin secretions, known as "toad venom". It has been argued that human exploitation of this species is contributing to the decline of its population.
