In Kansas City, Missouri, you can get arrested for toad licking. In case you are unaware, licking certain toads can get you high (as fuck). Possession of a Colorado River toad with the intention of using it as a hallucinogenic drug is an offense.

David Theiss of Kansas City was well aware of that fact and kept a pet toad just for the occasional buzz.  The law does not sympathize for Theiss and he has been arrested.  The Colorado River toad’s venom is a powerful hallucinogen that falls into the tryptamine class. Fortunately for Theiss, he has been released on Bond. Unfortunately for the toad, it remains in police custody at a police crime lab.
