Come Down Moses
According to a professor of cognitive science at the Hebrew University of Jeruselam, Moses was probably tripping on DMT (from acacia bark) when he saw the burning bush and during the time he spent atop Mt. Sinai. It's generally dicey to claim that a major component of a belief system's foundation was the result of a hallucination, but that would explain the whole wandering the desert for forty years thing. Nothing like a little heresy on a Tuesday, right?
One nice thing about this story is that it offers us a fairly logical segue to the following Vice piece about DMT and other hallucinogens:
A GIANT CHINESE FINGER TRAP MADE OF RAINBOWS TRIED TO SUCK ME INTO THE SKY.
Finally.

As I Lay Laughing
Is that a Faulkner pun? Nice.
Also, from what I've read (<u>read</u>), DMT, like salvia, is one of those intense dissociatives that tears your soul apart rather than just providing you with funny hallucinations. Robo-tripping college kids report encountering all sorts of higher beings. In short: I could totally believe Moses was under the influence.
I could also believe that the burning bush, etc. are just fabulous embellishments.
