- This entry covers entheogens in the strict sense of the word (i.e. psychoactive substances used in a religious or shamanic context). For general information about these substances and their use outside religious contexts, see psychedelics, dissociatives and deliriants. For information on the music group called Entheogenic see Entheogenic (band).
The word entheogen is a modern term derived from two Ancient Greek words, ἔνθεος (entheos) and γενέσθαι (genesthai). Entheos literally means "god (theos) within", more freely translated "inspired". The Greeks used it as a term of praise for poets and other artists. Genesthai means "to cause to be" or becoming. So an entheogen is "that which causes God (or godly inspiration) to be within a person".
In its strictest sense the term refers to a psychoactive substance (most often some plant matter with hallucinogenic effects) that occasions enlightening spiritual or mystical experience, within the parameters of a cult, in the original non-pejorative sense of cultus. In a broader sense, the word "entheogen" refers to artificial as well as natural substances that induce alterations of consciousness similar to those documented for ritual ingestion of traditional shamanic inebriants, even if it is used in a secular context.

@clintfuller Entheogens have played an important role in many cultures - this is clearly no different. Attitude = respectfully apathetic.

@uvatb0933 Has anyone's attitude about sacred substances, such as tsa ludud dorje, changed since their earlier tweets about entheogens?
