http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entheogen , in the strictest sense, is a psychoactive substance used in a religious or shamanic context. Entheogens generally come from plant sources which contain molecules closely related to endogenous neurochemicals. They occur in a wide variety of sacraments of various religious rites [UDV/NAC] and have been shown (see Good Friday Experiment) to directly provoke what users perceive as spiritual/mystical experiences. In a broader sense, the word "entheogen" refers to any molecule which stimulates the central nervous system through one of the two main neurological pathways: Phenethylamine [which is a brain chemical associated with the adrenaline pathway, and a precursor of Mescaline, 2-CB] and Tryptamine [a brain chemical associated with the natural metabolism of serotonin, a precursor of Psilocin, DMT ].
