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.
