The Law Explained

Following a strange drug craze in the late 1980s where thrill-seekers licked the Colorado River toad to ingest its hallucinogenic secretions, city officials passed a strict ordinance. The law aims to protect both public health and the local amphibian population from harassment. It remains a testament to the weird lengths people will go for a cheap thrill.
