"Placebo - A pill or other preparation containing no medication
and
administered to humor a patient; from the Latin Vespers of the
Office
of the Dead; literally: 'I shall be pleasing or acceptable.' The
Catholic Eucharist is a placebo sacrament, in that it is merely
an
inactive symbol of the primordial Element in communion - the
entheogenic plant or potion."
