More broadly, the term entheogen is used to refer to any psychoactive drug when used for its religious or spiritual effects, whether or not in a formal religious or traditional structure. This terminology is often chosen to contrast with recreational use of the same drugs. Studies such as the [[Marsh Chapel Experiment]] have documented reports of spiritual experiences from participants who were administered psychoactive drugs in controlled trials.<ref>http://www.springerlink.com/content/v2175688r1w4862x/fulltext.pdf</ref> Ongoing research is limited due to widespread drug prohibition; however, some countries have legislation that allows for traditional entheogen use.
