A religious researcher has claimed Moses could have been high when he received the Ten Commandments.
Was Moses high?
The staggering claims from expert Dr Rick Strassman suggest that the prophet may have been under the influence of dimethyltrptamine (DMT) during a key moment of the Old Testament.
Strassman - the clinical associate of psychology at the University of New Mexico School of Medicine - told the Daily Star Online: ''There are visions and voices which are referred to constantly in the Bible which are extremely similar in the phenomenology of the DMT experience.''
However, he was keen to point out that it didn't mean Moses had actively ingested psychedelic drugs.
He explained: ''There is no evidence at all of his being around or being influenced by outside agents.
''Rather, it is more than likely there was something going in his central nervous system which was involved with the visions and the voices which he experienced, and that is the role where endogenous drugs like DMT come into play.''
