you can squeeze the toads every i think 6 weeks or you can hurt them and also they wont have enough "poison" to smoke. It not poisonous if its dried. You smoke it like crack, or at least that's what i was told. If i had enough money i would buy them because its NOT ILLEGAL to have the toad just the venom already squeezed out the toad. Think about it, you could trip whenever you want because you have this certain pet. no one would ever have to know and you wouldn't have to risk going to a field or stealing from a drug store and cops, etc........
