AB A  “hallucination”  is  defined  as  a  false  perception  that  has  no  basis  in  the  external  environment.  The  term  is  derived  from  the  Latin  “to  wander  in  mind.”  Hallucinations  differ  from  illusions,  which  are  distorted  perceptions  of  objects  based  in  reality.  Although  the  term  psychedelic  has  been  used  for  years  to  refer  to  the  recreational  and  nonmedical  effects  of  hallucinogens,  other  terms,  such  as  entheogen  and  entactogen,  frequently  appear  in  discussions.  Entheogens  are  “substances  that  generate  the  god  or  spirit  within,”  and  entactogens  create  an  awareness  of  “the  touch  within.”50  These  terms  all  refer  to  the  same  xenobiotics,  used  with  differing  intent  or  in  varying  settings.
