You are not alone in thinking about Narcotic Substances being used by biblical scribes etc:
Moses for one is said to have gone on various ( Trips) not just to the Promised Land either. He spoke to a burning bush and stones.... , saw clouds of smoke settling on the top of mountains.
Biblical Scholars have found the psychedelic substance in a drink called Ayahuasca is extracted from plants that grow in the Holy Land and in the Sinai peninsula.
Certain biblical verses definitely mention plants/herbs being used in various religious rituals.
