entheogen
Noun
pl: entheogens

This term specifically denotes substances used to generate a sense of divine presence or spiritual awakening. It is distinct from the broader term hallucinogen, which describes the pharmacological effect, whereas entheogen emphasizes the intentional, sacred, or ritualistic purpose of the experience.

Usage is typically concentrated within anthropological, theological, or psychedelic research contexts. It carries a respectful, clinical, or spiritual connotation, contrasting with the pejorative or recreational associations often linked to words like drug or narcotic.
