Is the 'craziness' that the gemara describes Rav Shimon ben Lakish as having what we call sugar high?
What does it mean that the rabbi's actually had to bring him back to his house? -------------------- cash value: 2 cents

These peiros genusar were super potent, and intoxicating.QUOTE What does it mean that the rabbi's actually had to bring him back to his house?  Maybe he was wasted?

I thought that when the gemara said that they were so sweet, I thought they were talking about sugar. I didn't realize it was intoxicating. Now it makes sense. Thanks
