The answer is NO! He was rational, very rational. How on earth would you come up with such a code that has guided nations since then, if you were off your head on drugs.
I think Mr Shanon is transferring his own experiences in the Amazon to Israel 3500 years ago. And he is still tripping.

there is no indication from the bible. many will make wild claims and accusations to discredit not only the bible but also men who led their lives piously. to many these men are too good to be true. to think that this man had all the wealth and power of the future leader of the first world empire, had been educated in the finest schools of that time, and he gave it up for what? to lead a bunch of slaves out of egypt, this sounds absurd! Yet moses as a man of faith valued more his relationship with his God. this is something most in the materialistic world we live in will never get. truly pathetic to invent that he was under the influence of a substance. then again that is what most say of God's true worshippers.

First of all, here is the correct url (http://www.citizen.co.za/index/article.aspx?pDesc=59710,1,22).
Second, the article itself gives no where near enough information to really judge the validity of his theory, but I am inclined to simply dismiss him as just another atheist who is trying to find another way to explain away God.

That makes no sense at all. The LORD instructed Moses to warn the Israelites that "Pharmakia" was a very serious sin. The King James and some other translations translate this word as "sorcery", but it also refers to drug abuse. The ancient sorcerers (and modern day Shaman) used hallucinogenic drugs in their magic rituals. God told Moses that anyone who uses these drugs is "detestable". Why would God choose to make someone who was disobeying a major commandment to deliver the Law? And if Moses just got high and imagined the whole thing, how would the Israelites have believed him when he said that drug abuse was detestable?

Since there is no evidence whatsoever that Moses even existed, I would say no.

Oh, I'm sure it's true cause this guy was there dancing around the fire with Moses & doing Peyote & Shrooms with him!!! GIVE ME A BREAK!!! John

If Moses was high on drugs how do you account for the things that happened in Egypt? Did everyone in Egypt eat some 'shrooms and imagine that there were plagues of flies and frogs? I guess all the firstborn of Egypt must have died from overdoses while the Israelites couldn't score any drugs that night.
