Entheogen vs. Hallucinogen: different term for psychedelic. Amphetamines make schizo worse
Hallucinogen implies losing one's way with a negative connotation, suggesting imaginary experiences. To counter this, 'entheogen' was coined, referring to a divine presence within oneself, originating from devotees of Dionysus. Entheogen is distinct from hallucinogen and hallucination, as evidenced by its unique influence on visionary experiences compared to drugs like LSD and psilocybin. Whereas LSD and psilocybin do not exacerbate schizophrenic hallucinations, amphetamines do. Entheogen's adoption reflects its poetic aptness and distinct associations, particularly relating to spirituality and religion, which caused debate among scientists preferring the term 'neurotropic' instead.
