When you lick a toad, a pollywog gets it’s wings.
So - it’s okay to do now?

Maybe this was just a clever viral marketing stunt designed to get more stoners to visit the National Parks in the hopes of scoring a free high.

… more research is required 
The agency’s Incident Management Analysis and Reporting System has zero records of visitors ever harassing toads.
Correction: the System had zero records of visitors ever harassing toads. I assume that by now would-be psychonauts have descended on the parks in droves and begun licking everything vaguely toad-shaped that they can find.
I pity the first person to try licking a gila monster.

I pity anyone who tries it with an actual desert toad. All these stories mention 5-MeO-DMT. For some reason they don’t mention the problem that they also secrete cardiotoxic steroids, kind of like digitalis or milkweed.

And in today’s “What the fuck did I just watch?” category, let’s not forget Thomas Dolby’s catchy little number:
"Forget your blues
Forget your punk and funk
And Christian rock’n’roll
(Toad lickers!)Reseed the glands, secrete a
Brand new mash of bluegrass and techno
…and do-si-do"
