Cane toad venom is used to create the hallucinogenic experience used in zombification, along with datura "zombie cucumber" and blowfish poison to create the illusion that they are dead. The guys designated as future zombies (usually for some really bad behavior) are unwittingly given the cane frog and blowfish poison, appear to die, are burried for a couple of days while the fugu wears off, then are dug up slightly after awakening in a coffin and addicted to datura while they work as slaves. Haitian traditional capital punnishment.
