Christina Haack opens up about psychedelic toad venom and finding new love
Newport Beach, California – Days after her divorce from Ant Anstead was finalized, Christina Haack posted a lengthy life update on her Instagram where she dished about how smoking psychedelic toad venom helped her find love again.
There is nothing quite like finding love after heartbreak, and that's something Christina Haack is realizing in her budding relationship with the Austin, Texas-based realtor Joshua Hall.
But moving on from a lengthy relationship and letting go of the trauma associated with it takes work. Everyone has their own ways of getting over someone. It's just that Haack's is a bit more unusual than most.
Rather than spending months trying to sort through the good, the bad, and the ugly, the Christina On The Coast star opted for something a bit more taboo: smoking psychedelic toad venom.
In her Instagram post, the 38-year-old mentioned smoking the venom of a Bufo toad prior to meeting Hall, which she claimed, "reset my brain and kicked out years of anxiety in 15 mins."
Haack complains of media troubles
According to Addiction Center, The Bufo toad produces a venom that includes 5-MeO-DMT, a highly-potent natural psychedelic five times as powerful as its close cousin, DMT.
Thanks to the mind-clearing and anxiety-erasing qualities of Bufo toad venom, Haack said, "I wasn't in a state of fear or fight-or-flight" when she met Hall.
It also seems to have put her in a particularly receptive state of mind when it came to connecting with him: "The synchronicities hit us so hard and fast they were impossible to ignore."
Haack also hinted at some early media mischief: "When I saw a camera behind us at the airport my heart started beating out of my chest and my hands shaking – And not for me but for him. I know they dig and dig and I didn’t ever want to see him stress over the media stalking him and his family."
But she has no intention of letting outside interference ruining her newfound happiness: "I may be a bit crazy and I'm definitely not perfect but I will never live my life based on other peoples judgments or opinions," Haack wrote.
