The Rediscovery of Bufo by Ken Nelson (Al Most)

Introduction

This article highlights the journey of Ken Nelson who rediscovered the entheogenic usage of consuming the venom of the Sonoaran Desert Toad in the early 1980s, which lead the the global worldwide usage of smoking “Bufo” which is happening today.

This article was made possible by the wonderful work by Hamilton Morris in his filmmaking endeavors on entheogenic research. We attribute all content featured here for education purposes and support the creators for their work.

We publish this web article not for any commercial purposes, but entirely educationally. We also do not endorse the usage of smoking Bufo or any synthetic variant, and actually believe that nobody should consume Bufo or any synthetic variant due to its illlegality as well as health risks. If you would like to learn more about Bufo, we wrote this comprehensive Bufo article to educate you about its properties, risks and more.

Please support the charity project based around the Sonoaran Desert Toad at this link. 100% of the profit from this book will be donated to The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research.

We hope that people who find our Bufo articles and read them will decide to abstain from smoking any Bufo toad venom, help the natural conservation to protect the frog, and donate money to charity.
