KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) Law enforcement authorities have discovered that people are willing to go to great lengths to get high, including a troubling new method that features a frightened toad.

"Toad smoking," which is a substitute for "toad licking," is done by extracting venom from the Sonoran Desert toad of the Colorado River. The toad's venom which is secreted when the toad gets angry or scared contains a hallucinogen called
bufotenine <http://en.wikipedia .org/wiki/ Bufotenin> that can be dried and smoked to produce a buzz.

In October, a Kansas City man was charged with possessing a controlled substance after Clay County authorities determined he possessed a toad with the intent to use its venom to get high. . . .

While smoking toad venom might sound extreme, an even more disturbing method to get high possibly includes sniffing fermented human waste. Vicky Ward, manager of prevention services at Tri-County Mental Health Services in
Kansas City, said she has read e-mail warnings about a drug called jenkem <http://en.wikipedia .org/wiki/ Jenkem>
.

The drug is made from fermented feces and urine.
