A very interesting chapter that provides somewhat of a cultural history of toad use in the West;

One of the first assertions is that bufotenine is not psychoactive. I think many people would disagree with this, especially as of late (as well as at the time of printing). I think this is fairly relevant even if 5-HO-DMT isn't nearly as prominent in toad venom, as 5-MeO-DMT is in part metabolized into bufotenine (although strongly dependent on allelic variaiton and MAOI consumption). I think the confusion is still present, and I don't see this disinformation guide dispelling it at all.

I couldn't read most of the history as Google Books wouldn't allow me it in the preview.

Yes, there are many reports online as to the psychoactivity of 5-OH-DMT and its structure alone should give this away. https://psychonautwiki.org/wiki/Bufotenin
Would be great to see if any members here have (or can create) a pdf copy of this book too
