High on Mount Sinai


"High on Mount Sinai, Moses was on psychedelic drugs when he heard God deliver the Ten Commandments, an Israeli researcher claimed in a study published this week.

Such mind-altering substances formed an integral part of the religious rites of Israelites in biblical times, Benny Shanon, a professor of cognitive psychology at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem wrote in the Time and Mind journal of philosophy."

It is the use of hallucinogens that distinguishes homo sapiens from the rest of the animal kingdom. That and opposable thumbs for picking up the tiny pills.
