You've misunderstood what this book has. The plants in it are listed
alphabetically by plant name.

You've given me a chemical type. It includes many plants that have
that property, but is not a specific plant name.

An entheogen can also be a fungus or mixture of other chemicals.

Synthetic entheogens also exist.



From Wiki:

"An entheogen, in the strict sense, is a psychoactive substance used
in a religious, shamanic, or spiritual context. Historically,
entheogens were mostly derived from plant sources and have been used
in a variety of traditional religious contexts. With the advent of
organic chemistry, there now exist many synthetic substances with
similar psychoactive properties, many derived from these plants.
Entheogens can supplement many diverse practices for healing,
transcendence, and revelation, including: meditation, psychonautics,
art projects, and psychedelic therapy.

Essentially all psychoactive drugs that are naturally occurring in
plants, fungi, or animals, can be used in an entheogenic context or
with enthogenic intent. Since non-psychoactive drugs can also be used
in this type of context, the term "entheogen" refers primarily to
substances that have been categorized based on their historical use.
Toxicity does not affect a substance's inclusion (some can kill
humans), nor does effectiveness or potency (if a substance is
psychoactive, and it has been used in a historical context, then the
required dose has also been found)."


Try again, but give me a specific plant name.
