What is known as the toad ritual is actually a short, instant-effect ceremony: just take a drag on a glass pipe, at the end of which is a burning alkaloid substance - it's not too different from the procedure smoking hashish with a hookah, and inhaling the smoke. There may be some kind of prior ritual - preparatory relaxation, purification - but that only works if it is conceived as a ceremony with spiritual intention. If not, it's like dipping your finger in Eme's bag in a rave or vacuuming a fly's wing in a sink: mere drug use .
But not just any drug. Once the toad smoke is inhaled , it is when a very powerful hallucinogenic effect occurs . "It made me stir, it made me die," explains Nacho Vidal in a video easily available on YouTube in which he narrates his first experience with DMT , or dimethyltryptamine, the technical name of this psychedelic substance. "It made my soul leave my body completely, my body exploded, it had no limit, my body became light. I was light with light, I was the Universe, I was everything."
The effects detailed by the former porn actor, and today accused of reckless murder for organizing a toad ceremony at his home in Enguera (Valencia), in which a photographer José Luis Abad died a year ago , are not too different from those of other people who have tried DMT, also called the God molecule , and whose testimonies can be consulted in books and documentaries easily accessible on the internet. They are not, then, the words of a madman, nor those of a freak who makes up stories, but those of someone who has had a hallucinogenic experience - and, to be precise, entheogenic ; that is to say, that it opens the conscience and connects the being with the outside, be it the cosmos or another person, and also far superior to those caused by other drugs such as LSD , ayahuasca or ecstasy.
But as with some risky culinary experiences - eating puffer fish in Japan, for example - smoking the toad is terribly dangerous , because what you inhale is a poison . DMT exists naturally in plants and animals - the most popular is a variety of toad that lives in the Mexican desert of Sonora, the Bufo Alvarius -, and can even be generated by the human body from the pineal gland, but when that The molecule goes into combustion, it transforms and becomes 5-MeO-DMT, so that it multiplies by far the psychedelic effect. For years, it has been part of the ritual of American shamans as a way to transcend reality, a rite of passage, or initiation, to a higher spiritual plane.
But precisely because of its hermeticism, its potency and its dangerousness , it has long remained a minority consumer substance . In recent years, however, its existence has been increasingly disseminated: four years ago , consumer tutorials , revelations of experiences and even documentaries began to emerge on YouTube - one of them, El propeta del sapo , around the Mexican shaman Octavio Rettig, was produced by the Vice- portal at a time when new age fashion has resurfaced and many people have returned to be interested in peyote or ayahuasca as recreational experiences.
"But this has nothing to do with ayahuasca, that is another story," specifies occult expert Aramís Fuster. "I will not give information about this ritual because I consider that it should not be shared with the uninitiated. But I do want to give a moral: no one should submit to rituals that are not performed by initiates . Who is Nacho Vidal to do a shamanic ritual?" Aramís insists that testing the space of the hidden without knowledge or guidance is something profoundly dangerous. "It is a very serious issue and youth takes it lightly. The same thing happens with the ouija board: the ouija board always works, and you pay dearly for it."
Beyond that, there is the question that 5-MeO-DMT is a drug with an extremely powerful active ingredient whose effects are not calculable a priori. In his book The God Molecule (2016), which triggered the curiosity of a growing public about the ritual of the toad , the Mexican doctor Gerardo Rubén Sandoval explained his personal journey of knowledge of the drug after having spent years following the trail of the drug. Peyote , and concluded the book with a field work that systematized all the experiences he had obtained in his role, in the style of Timothy Leary or Terence McKenna with LSD, as a guru of the DMT. Some people, in effect, felt that they were integrated into the cosmos ; others felt an ebb of energy, but others felt bad, or felt nothing. Smoking the toad can be a Russian roulette.
Other than that it is a completely illegal practice. One cannot go to the pharmacy, or to the tobacconist, and ask for ground flakes from Bufo Alvarius . As has been known through the judicial investigation in the case of Nacho Vidal, to José Luis Abad and other participants would have cost 600 euros experience : not only the evening in which smoking, but getting the substance, which only It can be reached on the black market and, considering that the toad only lives in Sonora, surely through the sordid depths of the deep web.
