Of course they do.
There are some practitioners (they who shall not be named) who insist upon all kinds of conjecture,confabulation, and disinformation as truth to further their own agenda. Spreading these things around helps ensure that they and only they have access and can charge exorbitant prices,as well as keep a mystique of mystery around it.
That said, don't buy or raise toads. Leave the critters alone. For me psychedelics don't mix with animal abuse. If you need 5, do synth.
