You have at the very least stimulated a spirited set of conversations. You have learned as well some of the fine art of including scientific reference.
Could it be toad licking is responsible for unique conciousness? Actually , yes; under the proper conditions. Ponder this:

Psychoactive toad is a name used for toads from which psychoactive substances from the family of bufotoxins can be derived. The skin and venom of Bufo alvarius (Colorado River toad or Sonoran Desert toad) contain 5-MeO-DMT and bufotenin. Other species contain only bufotenin. 5-MeO-DMT and bufotenin both belong to the family of hallucinogenic tryptamines. Due to these substances the skin or venom of the toads may produce psychoactive effects when smoked.

PS Just flashed on the fairy tale "kiss a frog" & see a prince thing; do they have psychoactive toads in Europe? Mmmmmmmm....pucker up!
