My biggest worry is someone will drop a 5-meo-cart on the ground and some kid or some dumbfuck who's high as fuck already picks it up thinking its a weed cart.

THE STORY YOU’VE BEEN TOLD ABOUT "ANCESTRAL TOAD MEDICINE" ISN’T THE FULL STORY.

New peer-reviewed research just published, and it changes the conversation.


FOR OVER A DECADE, "TOAD MEDICINE" HAS BEEN MARKETED GLOBALLY AS AN ANCIENT PRACTICE OF THE COMCA’AC (SERI) PEOPLE OF SONORA, MÉXICO.

Retreats. Certifications. Facilitator trainings.

A global market worth tens of thousands of dollars per kilogram.


THE ETHNOGRAPHIC RECORD TELLS A DIFFERENT STORY.

The Comca’ac word otac simply means "a thing that sits on water."

Jesuit records and decades of ethnographic scholarship contain no mention of psychoactive toad use.

The practice was introduced to Comca’ac territory in 2011.


RESEARCHERS CALL THIS "FABRICATED ANCESTRALITY" —

When a recently created practice is reframed as ancient to claim cultural authority and legitimacy.

It spreads through ritual, media, and global retreat economies — and it has real consequences.


INCILIUS ALVARIUS — THE SONORAN DESERT TOAD — IS DISAPPEARING.

Already extirpated in California (not seen since 1955).
Threatened in New Mexico.
Showing signs of decline across its Mexican range.
Secretions now traded at up to $50,000/kg globally.

Demand driven by narrative is demand that costs a species.


IMC FUND SUPPORTED THE FIELD-BASED POPULATION STUDY OF INCILIUS ALVARIUS IN SONORA THAT UNDERPINS THIS RESEARCH.

We are working toward:

• IUCN Red List reclassification
• SEMARNAT NOM-059 inclusion in México
• CITES Appendix II protections

The toad cannot advocate for itself. We can.


COME INTO RIGHT RELATIONSHIP.

“Fabricated Ancestrality: The Sonoran Desert Toad, Psychedelic Globalization, and the Ecological Politics of 5-MeO-DMT”

The psychedelic movement has built significant demand around Sonoran Desert Toad-derived 5-MeO-DMT, fueled in part by a narrative of ancestral use that the historical and ethnographic record simply does not support.

Now, a new peer-reviewed study by Anny Ortiz, PhD, just published in Psychedelics (Elsevier, 2026), names this process and traces its consequences for a species that is genuinely at risk.

The IMC Fund supported the population assessment that documents these concerns. Preliminary findings from this study were presented at MAPS Psychedelic Science 2025 and covered by the New York Times. The species is at risk. Formal reclassification work is underway.

Swipe through to understand what fabricated ancestrality is, what it costs ecologically, and what right relationship with the Sonoran Desert Toad, and the cultures that have always lived alongside it, looks like.

If you work with this medicine, this research is for you. Read it. Sit with it. Let it inform how you move forward. Ask yourself: whose story have you been repeating, and who told it to you?

Sacred medicine does not require exaggerated timelines to deserve respect. And the Sonoran Desert Toad does not need to be a psychedelic sacrament to deserve protection.

This publication is dedicated to the memory of Anny’s father, who transcended this week. Anny was born and raised in Sonora, the very land at the heart of this research. Her love for that place, its people, and its creatures lives in every page of this work. We hold her and her family in our hearts.

Wow. Synthetic is cheaper and way more ethical. If there are other actives just synthesize them too.

It can and will happen I'm sure. But again... carts are way safer.
