Bufo Alvarius

About Bufo Alvarius

Bufo alvarius, also known as the Sonoran Desert toad or Colorado River toad, is one of the largest toads in North America, growing up to 20 cm (about 8 inches). Native to the Sonoran Desert of Arizona and northwestern Mexico, it is most active during the summer rainy season.

The toad secretes a milky substance from glands in its skin that contains powerful psychoactive compounds. The most prominent is 5-MeO-DMT, along with bufotenin and other tryptamines.

What makes Bufo alvarius unique is its ability to transform bufotenin—a toxic defense compound found in many toads—into 5-MeO-DMT, one of the most powerful natural psychedelics known to science. This rare evolutionary adaptation sets the Sonoran Desert toad apart in the animal kingdom.

When the secretion is collected, dried, and vaporized, it can induce intense yet short-lived psychedelic experiences, often described as:

  • Rapid onset within seconds
  • Complete dissolution of the ego
  • Loss of time and space perception
  • Deep emotional release
  • Mystical or spiritual states of consciousness

Although the journey usually lasts only 15–30 minutes, its impact can be profoundly transformative. This is why Bufo alvarius toad medicine is often referred to as “The God Molecule.”
