I have a presentation tomorrow on sensory deprivation and I am no doubt talking about psychadelic experiences in there (dont worry, already cleared it with the teacher)
either way, i want to make sure i say this right so i dont sound like a dumbass
how do you say "entheogen(s)"?
Is it EN-thee-o-gen en-THEE-o-gen en-the-gen
or something else?

Very good my brother If your wondering about any current spiritual journeys in my midst, my cat is beginning a MHRB extraction procedure. My cat has been preparing for many months on the subject, and is ready (as he can be).
How are you man? I'm better than ever.

I think the first one. I'm not sure though.

the wiki doesn't provide a phonetic spelling. any decent dictionary should. phonetic spellings capitalise stressed syllables. does anyone have a dead tree dictionary lying about?
