Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds gets a whole new meaning if the claims of Benny Shannon are true. He states that hallucinogenics and religion were bedfellows in the biblical times and the use of such herbal remedies might have caused the bushes to burst into flames and speak to Moses.
Even the ten commandments might have been created by the solitary ‘tripping’ by Moses on the mount Sinai. Does that mean the Rastafarians are prophets?

Wow, I’d never thought of it that way. It sure explains a lot of stories…

If I wasn’t so stoned right now, I’d swear that Bush used the same tactics to get elected.

I remember one of my early religious debates with a co-worker, years ago. I commented on how often a “prophet” would go off into the desert, without food and water, and then come back having “seen god;” and how that sounded an awful lot like a recipe for hallucination to me. Now comes Dr. Shannon, who informs us that plants capable of an LSD- or peyote-like hallucinagenic experience are available in the Middle East. Methinks the rabbi quoted in the article doth protest too much. So, the question still remains . . . did Moses also play Black Sabbath at 78 speed?
