What Is Bufo Alvarius?

Bufo Alvarius is the most powerful entheogenic medicine known to mankind. The Sacred Medicine comes from the Sonoran desert toad. It is also known as the Colorado River toad, DMT toad, DMT frog, or Incilius Alvarius.

This powerful psychedelic is renowned for its loving and transformative qualities. It ushers you into a realm of healing and spiritual elevation like no other.

Diving into the Experience

The Bufo Alvarius toad venom is carefully gathered**, dried, and smoked, causing a quick and strong altered state of consciousness. The psychedelic experience is characterized by vivid light visuals, overwhelming feelings of euphoria, and a profound sense of spiritual awakening.

The Chemistry of Transformation

At the heart of this sacred medicine are two powerful compounds: bufotenine and 5-MeO-DMT.

Interestingly, 5-MeO-DMT is a natural neurotransmitter in the brain. Our brains produce elevated quantities of this psychedelic substance during moments of transcendence, such as birth, near-death experiences, deep meditation, and ultimately, passing from this life. This mystical compound is often referred to as the "DMT Spirit Molecule" or "God Molecule."

**Ethical Sourcing

At the heart of my practice lies a commitment to ethical sourcing. Please verify the source of the toad secretion before joining a 5-MeO-DMT / Bufo Alvarius ceremony.

what are the benefits of
a bufo alvarius Ceremony?

  • Ego Dissolution: A Bufo ceremony can induce temporary ego death. Such experiences create a deep connection with the universe and offer breakthroughs, resets and spiritual rebirths.

  • Spiritual Awakening: Bufo Alvarius therapy helps people have a spiritual awakening, understand reality, and reach higher consciousness levels.

  • Healing from Trauma: This powerful psychedelic helps us heal deep-seated traumas that are difficult to resolve (e.g. childhood trauma). Releasing these deep-rooted pains can completely change our lives. Many people have experienced lasting emotional healing, personal growth and happiness.

  • Anxiety and Depression Relief: Bufo therapy helps with anxiety and depression by changing negative thought patterns and forming new neural pathways (neuroplasticity), according to scientific research.

  • Addiction and Self-Harming Behavior Relief: Bufo benefits those with addiction and self-harming behavior. The medicine allows people to feel self-love which motivates them to make healthier choices.

  • Psychosomatic Healing: Bufo experiences address mental and emotional blockages, often resolving physical ailments rooted in psychosomatic illnesses.

  • Enhanced Self-Understanding: Learn more about yourself and your purpose in life through personal insights gained from journeys with the 5-MeO-DMT Spirit Molecule.

  • Higher States of Consciousness: The DMT toad medicine allows access to higher consciousness, promoting spiritual growth and connection to the universe.

safety & awareness

Bufo medicine, like any substance, carries potential risks. Bufo and 5-Meo-DMT therapy must be conducted safely and with proper awareness. I conduct a thorough medical and mental health screenings, prior to your Bufo experience to ensure a safe environment throughout the ceremony.

  • People with the following conditions are strongly advised not to take the toad medicine or participate in a bufo medicine ceremony:

    • Someone with a history of psychosis or very unstable mental states

    • Schizophrenia, schizoaffective, and other psychotic conditions

    • Bipolar disorders, particularly Bipolar I Disorder

    • Taking SSRI, SNRI, or MAOI medication (present in most anti-depressants)

    • Antisocial, Borderline, or Narcissistic Personality Disorder

    • Active Suicidality

    • Uncontrolled Hypertension

    • Advanced cardiovascular conditions such as arrythmias, heart failure, coronary artery disease, angina or chest, myocardial infarction, stroke, TIA, or bleeding and clotting conditions

    • Severe respiratory illness

    • Liver or kidney failure

    • Epilepsy or seizure disorders

    • Traumatic Brain Injury

  • One of the most significant risks associated with Bufo therapy is overdose. Doses need to be personalized according to the individuals’ sensitivity. Incorrect dosing can result in physical and/or psychological trauma.

    The dosing for natural Bufo Alvarius toad venom and synthetic 5-MeO-DMT is different.

    Overdose can result in a range of dangerous symptoms, including serotonin syndrome, seizures, coma, and even death.

  • While many people report the effects of Bufo therapy to be extremely positive, some people with underlying mental health conditions are at risk to experience intense psychological distress.

    The psychedelic toad venom can trigger intense anxiety, paranoia, and hallucinations, and some users may experience long-lasting psychological effects, including flashbacks and persistent anxiety.

    It is therefore important to work with an experienced facilitator who conducts a proper medical and mental health history screening to make sure that the dosing for your Bufo experience is done correctly.

  • In addition to psychological risks, Bufo Alvarius ceremonies can also pose physical risks. People can move in an unpredictable way during their Bufo experience and it is important that measures are taken so the person does not accidentally hurt themselves, e.g. not having any sharp objects nearby and taking the medicine on a mat with ample moving space. 

    The Bufo toad venom can cause rapid heartbeat, high blood pressure, and other cardiovascular symptoms, which can be dangerous for people with pre-existing heart conditions. In some cases, users have also reported respiratory distress.

    Some people purge during their Bufo experience. In these cases especially, it is very important to have a Bufo facilitator to make sure that the person does not have difficulty breathing.

  • Bufo medicina opens us to higher states of consciousness and opens our energy field. This can be immensely beautiful, yet it can also be dangerous if the setting in which we are taking Bufo is not carefully curated.

    It is important that you feel good in the environment in which you are taking the medicine and that the people who are present during your Bufo ceremony have pure intentions. If something feels off, it is probably best not to proceed with the ceremony.

    Spiritual protection during the Bufo experience is very important. Ideally, you are working with an experienced Bufo facilitator who can hold space energetically while you are immersed in the mystical experience of the toad medicine.

  • During experiences with the Bufo Alvarius toad, you are completely open and vulnerable. For this reason it is absolutely crucial that you are working with someone who is trustworthy, competent, and with pure intentions.

    There have been reports of facilitators tasering people and sexually abusing them. Be aware of facilitators who take credit for the profound experiences of their clients after the Bufo Alvarius / 5-MeO-DMT ceremony. A facilitator is there to hold space, not to infuse their energy or presence in your experience.

    If you do not feel good with your facilitator for whatever reason, listen to this intuition. Your body knows.

The most significant risks are the following:
