The article briefly notes there are other sources of 5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine, but it's very brief: > "Although the most concentrated source of 5-MeO-DMT is the Sonoran Desert toad, the compound is also produced by some plant species in Latin America, where it was traditionally used in snuffs." The author fails to mention that these toads also contain an additional spectrum of toxins: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bufotenin#Toads https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bufotenin#Toads The plant-based snuffs containing 5-MeO-DMT, 5-OH-DMT, etc. in contrast are likely far safer, and have a very long history of use, for example the Cebil seed, Anandenanthera colubrina, has been used for thousands of years in the northwestern Argentine region of Puna. That would be a far better source for any therapeutic use than toads. All in all, not a very well researched article, and overly sensationalist as well.
