"I was amazed when I read that frog licking has become a major preoccupation in Colorado. How could this possibly get started? It had to be this way. An environmentalist is out in the woods communing with nature. Probably some overgrown Boy Scout in little green shorts, a backpack filled with wheat nut mix. He's wearing his Walkman, skipping along some nature trail... maybe even humming. Ommmmm-Ommmmm-Ommmmm. He looks at a tree and maybe he says, 'Hi Greg.' Maybe he hugs the tree. 'Oh, I am at one with this tree.' Then he spies a frog and suddenly stops. 'Oh, look at that frog. Maybe I should pick it up and lick it.' And gets high as a result. You see, the Colorado spotted toad secretes a hallucinogenic substance that can get you high if you lick it near the back of its head."
