It is an interesting hypothesis about mind-altering substances and spiritual experiences.  But without any physical evidence from a time so long ago, we cannot reach any conclusions.

Ha, there's not even any evidence that there ever was a Moses, let alone a psychedelic one.

As a child of the '60s and '70s I find myself throwing down with the 'a better life throught chemicals' crowd.

FR, in no specific order:

1.    This is really nothing new.  For a long time, people have speculated that recorded religious visions of all stripes are the result of intentional or accidental ingestion of hallucinogens.  All this guy is doing is adding Moshe* to the "bunch".   viz:  

Ezekiel's visions, which have been attributed to drugs, or psychosis, or internal chemical imbalances.  Wm Blake's religious visions are pretty close to LSD - fueled dreams, and proponents of literature and acid (notably Tim Leary and William Burroughs) have long speculated that Blake somehow was "turned on".  And those nasty witch girls in Salem (who sparked the infamous "Witch Trials" in the Colonial USA) were apparently the victims of ergot poisoning, a fungus similar in effect to LSD.  So what's the big hoo ha?

I like the idea that Moses and his troups were smoking dubbage.

Domiguy:  Impossible!....Never once have I seen any references in the Bible pertaining to gyros or burritos.


On the other hand, there was a run on Shmuel's Felafel Stand by Moses and Aaron that same day....and word was they overordered and giggled the whole time they ate.
