Moses was 'on acid' ananova.com A top academic says Moses was high on hallucinogenic drugs when he received the Ten Commandments from God. Prof Benny Shannon believes Old Testament tales are records of visions brought on by plants similar to an acid trip, reports The Sun. The psychology don at Jerusalem's Hebrew University says the Bible's stories suggest "ancient Israelites regarded psycho-active plants in high esteem". Prof Shannon claims Moses got high on a drink called Ayahuasca, made out of potent plants that grow in southern Israel. He said: "They constitute the key ingredients of one of the most powerful psychedelic substances in existence." The professor came up with his theory after trying the drink, still used in religious rituals by the Amazon people, and having similar visions. He claims five events in Moses' life were inspired by the drug, including the Ten Commandments and the Burning Bush miracle.
